Beer Bread Cinnamon Roll Muffins, just twenty minutes to get these in your oven! Do you get really uncomfortable when you have to open gifts in front of the gifter or is it just me? Should I smile more? Am I appropriately excited or should I be louder? Was “wow” enough or should it have… Read More
Apricot Streusel Beer Loaf Cake (vegan) I do this every time. I see an ingredient and I can’t let it go like a normal person.

For the sake of my liver and my skinny jeans, it’s important. But I… Read More
Grilled Cilantro Lime Beer Chicken I go through phases of grilling all the things. And by ALL, I pretty much mean it. I once grilled garlic. Nothing edible is safe when I’m in this phase. I always grill my homemade pizza, all fruit is better grilled, I’ve even grilled all the ingredients for guacamole, and… Read More
Coconut Raspberry Pilsner Cake. Simple and delicious one-bowl cake with AMAZING frosting! Cake is the cornerstone of our society. Wait, it’s not? Freedom and democracy are? Ok, fine.

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.

Coconut Pilsner Mango Cream Pie We’ve already talked about how much I hate bananas because they’re basically portable baby food and you need to eat fruit like a grownup who has teeth.

Hop Shortbread Beer Cookies I’m still trapped. Under several feet of snow in a city that can’t deal, surrounded by iced-over, hilly roads that my little car isn’t able to navigate. Still. The Californian in me is screaming and vitamin D deficient. So, obviously, it was time to bake. I had to use what was… Read More
I’m not sure why I do these things. It’s that part of me that leans toward obsessing, and it’s a small but powerful part. Mini but mighty. Food, in one form or another, often finds it’s way into that space. Duck confit, pickling weird foods, doughnuts, bolognese, you really never know when something will settle… Read More

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
