Beer and Brown Sugar Glazed Bacon Wrapped Dates

Beer and Brown Sugar Glazed Bacon Wrapped Dates It turns out, you’re not alone. This week, according to the internet and science, is the most stressful week of the year. I feel it, it’s been an asshole of a week, do you feel it? I didn’t shower yesterday and I’m still in my pajamas. At… Read More

Beer Battered Fried Green Tomato BLT Sliders with Chipotle Crema

Beer Battered Fried Green Tomato BLT Sliders with Chipotle Crema It’s that time of year again when I stop pretending. Stop pretending that the summer isn’t almost over, that football season is back and, most importantly, that the over abundance of green tomatoes in my garden will actually ripen.  This is fine, all of this.… Read More

Beer Chicken Satay with Almond Stout Dipping Sauce

Beer Chicken Satay with Almond Stout Dipping Sauce I have recently discovered, to my abject horror, that I vastly prefer almond butter to peanut butter. Why so horrified, you ask? Because it is, in my conservative estimation, about one thousand times more expensive. And I am cheap. Have I told you this? That I have… Read More

Spicy Beer Pulled Pork Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Spicy Beer Pulled Pork Stuffed Sweet Potatoes Somedays the internet is just pug videos and Game of Thrones memes and other days it feels so full of trolls lurking just under the surface, waiting with their beady little eyes for the chance to pounce.  On the bad days, I have to believe those of us who… Read More

One Bowl Chocolate Chip Beer and Peanut Butter Bread

One Bowl Chocolate Chip Beer and Peanut Butter Bread I like that we do this. We make a loaf cake, slice it, serve it with coffee and call it bread. But we both know it’s cake. We call it bread, nod along as we both agree to call it that, and happily devour it with… Read More

Maple Beer Glazed Crispy Pork Belly

Maple Beer Glazed Crispy Pork Belly, the easiest and tastiest pork belly I’ve ever made!  Pork belly is an investment. Not financially—it’s actually pretty inexpensive—it’s a time investment. One that’s well worth the effort with the right recipe. I’ve made pork belly so many times over the years and I’ve learned that patience is key… Read More

Dynamite Sushi and Beer Dip

Dynamite Sushi and Beer Dip I know, I know. Don’t look at me like that. I know this is absurd. It’s not even really “sushi.” But don’t sit there and tell me that you don’t love those baked scallop rolls that taste more like nachos than they taste like legit sushi as much as I… Read More

Skillet Chorizo Beer Cheese Dip in a Pizza Crust Ring

Skillet Chorizo Beer Cheese Dip in a Pizza Crust Ring I’ve made a decision. I’m hosting a Super Bowl party, and as I do, I’ll probably make too much food. I do this as if we will all surely starve if we don’t have at least 17 tons of food per person to sustain us… Read More

General Tso Sticky Beer Chicken Wings

We need to talk. Sit down, and get your list ready. You know the one, the list of things you need to do. I have something you need to add to your list, it’s very important. You need to go out and drink yourself a Brut IPA, because it’s your new favorite beer that you… Read More

Secret Ingredient Smooth and Creamy Beer Nacho Cheese Sauce

Secret Ingredient Smooth and Creamy Beer Nacho Cheese Sauce I did it. It only took two years and countless recipe trials to FINALLY bring you what I call, “7-11 pump cheese nacho cheese” but the homemade version. I know, I know, OFFICIALLY, that’s gross. But secretly, it’s amazing. It’s creamy, and it never seperates or gets… Read More

Stout Osso Buco Sliders with Gremolata Sour Cream

Stout Osso Buco Sliders with Gremolata Sour Cream We’ve made it. Made the turn into the New Year and survived to tell the tale. January is about breathing, stepping back, reflecting and fireplaces. Stouts are also a January thing, even when you’ve resolved to be healthy so you can run faster and jump higher. One… Read More

Beer Mac N Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos

Beer Mac N Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos, the perfect game day snack! I was born in California, cut my beer drinking teeth on Sierra Nevada, spent most of my life living up and down the Golden State. It’s a part of who I am and will always be my first home. You already know about the… Read More
