I’m on my way to New York right now to cook on The Today Show. I’d like to say that I’m cool enough to not think this is a big deal, but I’m not. I’m thrilled, and also a little nervous (significant nervousness is scheduled for the late 9am hour on Wednesday morning). Before I [...]
Roasted Corn, Pale Ale and Coconut Curry Chowder with Brûléed Avocados
I brûléed some avocados, which, lets me honest, is sort of strange. But it gave this soup a campfirey, smoky flavor that I loved so I’m standing behind the decisions. A decision that was largely based on the fact that I’ve had this brulee torch for over two months and haven’t use it yet. Now [...]
Beer Brined Roasted Cornish Game Hens with Orange Chili Sauce
I want to thank you for how supportive and encouraging you were with the manifesto I posted last week. To be honest, I care more about what you think than I probably should and I’m grateful that so many people are excited about layered and thoughtful food. I started to think about dishes that have [...]
Citrus Cooked Scallops with Smoky IPA Parsnip Puree and Beer Pickled Jalapenos
I’ve finally found some clarity when it comes to this struggle that’s been twisting around inside me over the past few weeks. I told you about that feeling of creative stagnation, and the realization that I’ve been pandering to the masses rather than cooking what I love. Both of these feelings, that I figured were [...]
Mirin Stout Glazed Roast Chicken with Maple Sweet Potatoes topped with Caramelized Shallots and Balsamic Glaze
When I first got into food blogging I had this idea that I would just take pictures of my dinner and post the recipe online. Somewhere between installing Google Analytics and starting an LLC, I realized that I was cooking in order to develop content rather than just posting what I was eating. I [...]
Soft Batch Beer and Brown Sugar Cookies
How do you like your cookies? For me, cookies need to be soft and chewy. Did you know there is a bit of a personality test that goes along with cookie preferences? Here it is: Chewy: You’re generally flexibly and easy going Crispy: You like to be in control Soft center: You tend towards the [...]
Chocolate Stout Cheesecake Fudgesicle
Would you judge me if I tell you that I’m not a huge fan of ice cream? Clearly, I like it just fine I have several ice cream recipes on this blog, but it’s never my first choice. Of course I’ll eat it, although I do tend to prefer it in the winter (probably [...]
Asparagus Pale Ale Soup
Lately, I’ve been struggling with a creative plateau I can’t seem to push myself past. A dissatisfaction with everything I make. The recipes that just don’t seem creative enough, the photos that I can only see as average, and the sub-par writing. I’ve been trudging through this phase, trying to push myself, and the things [...]
Homemade Garlic Beer Pita Bread
Do you remember when I told you that once I discovered that homemade corn tortillas where so good it made me realize that I didn’t acctually hate corn tortillas, I just hated those sad cardboard disks they sell at the store? Pita bread is an even bigger revelaiton. It’s not as quick as those [...]
Lemon Cream Pie with Raspberry Beer Sauce
I made you a summery pie with a Double IPA Don’t be scared, this double IPA plays nice, I promise. I’m hesitant with double and triple IPA’s, over hopping a beer can result in a poorly balanced, pinchy tasting, bitter-in-a-bad-way beer that leads to my hesitation to sample the D & T IPA’s. That’s [...]
About Jackie
I started TheBeeroness.com as a way to marry my love of food and good craft beer. It was my offering, in a way, to the craft beer scene. I wanted to be a part of this beer world I was so captivated by, but I didn’t brew. I could cook, and I could take a picture that didn’t suck, and that was my way of squeezing myself into the world of craft beer.
