Blackberry Sweet Rolls with Beer Dough, like cinnamon rolls just WAY better. It finally happened. Out of nowhere, and without my consent. I’m not even sure when it started, really. But now, it’s official. I’m a Pacific Northwesterner, authentic and legitimized and I was finally given proof. I am, after all, a California girl born and… Read More
Squash Blossoms Recipe: Garden Pizza with Beer Pickled Cherries and Beer Crust I just hit send. Out into the ether to the inbox of my publisher. I just sent off the completed manuscript for my 3rd cookbook along with 96 photos. I started a year, and what feels like a lifetime of experiences ago. When… Read More
Brazilian Beer Gumbo (Moqueca) There’s a nervousness, a panicked isolation that can set in when you’re thousands of miles from familiarity and alone in a country that speaks a language you aren’t even vaguely familiar with. Water? Hello? Taxi? When not even those basic travel words are accessible, it can cause a panic to rise up like the… Read More
Grilled Beer Brats with Pineapple Salsa and Bourbon BBQ Brand Kettle Chips This post is sponsored by Kettle Brand Chips. Mostly because I have a well-known love for all of their chips and I really wanted to see what flavors they had up their sleeves, they did not disappoint. All words and opinions are my… Read More
Family Beer Waffles: It Took 3 Years To Get This Recipe Right I decided ten minutes ago to share this recipe. It’s of the personal sort, the “not for a client, just for me,” sort. It’s the recipe I’ve been tweaking for years trying to get just right. It’s the recipe I make for family,… Read More
Grilled Lime and Herb Beer Chicken I have a beer fridge in my office!! There really isn’t a way to overstate how happy this makes me. My excessive stash of beer that once took up residence in my regular-food-fridge is now happily occupying a boozy-VIP-space in my office between some nerdy books and a weird ceramic… Read More
Chipotle Pale Ale Polenta with Stout Braised Mushrooms I have something to tell you. I’m writing another book, a cookbook, obviously. It’s a book I’ve wanted to write for a while, a book that I’m excited to create. It’ll focus on cooking with not only beer, but with in-season produce. It’ll break down the seasons,… Read More
Mozzarella and Beer Pesto Stuffed Flank steak I was on top of a mountain last week and I saw a dinosaur. Not a real one, obviously, I’m not crazy. I’d taken a gondola ride up to the summit of Mount Rainier, the very top, no more left to climb. There he was, right below the… Read More
Beer Chicken Tortilla Soup, best 20 minute soup ever. You’d be shocked if you knew how many nights I lay away wondering what you want me to make. Trying to predict what it is that you’ll take notice of, share, and love as much as I do. Sometimes I go too far with it and… Read More
Punk in Drublic Beer Battered Buffalo Cauliflower (vegan) You know what’s punk rock? Beer. NOFX. Making a beer with NOFX. Pouring beer into your food. Deep frying things you aren’t supposed to deep fry. Fat Mike wearing brewing clamps as handcuffs. You know else? Punk in Drublic—the dirty bastard child that resulted from the union… Read More
Beer Cheeseburger Pie with Dill Pickle Potato Chip Crust This was the first recipe I ever cooked. Well, a variation of this, devoid of beer and with the inclusion of Bisquick. I was 9 and my mom asked me to pick a recipe I wanted to cook. I had no idea where to start. I… Read More
15 minutes to this delicious dinner: Indian Beer and Butter Chicken There’s a small Indian restaurant in LA, run by an amazing family from Delhi. They cook family recipes for the masses who line up outside their doors. I’d make a call to this little spot when I was sick, or just too tired to leave… Read More
Buffalo Beer Chicken Wing Soup It occurs to me that in the event of a zombie apocalypse I have no useful skills. No one is weeks deep in a bunker, unshowered, clothes unchanged and thinks: “What I really need is someone to take a great picture of this MRE before I eat it.” Oh,… Read More
Garlic Sriracha Beer Steamed Mussels This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of BC Ale Trail and Tourism New West, Discover Surrey and Tourism Delta. All opinions and text are mine. TO COME Day two began how all days should begin: with fried chicken. River Market in New West is a destination… Read More
Grilled Garlic Beer Butter Lobster I needed a code word, a signal that it was too much. It was devised as a way to tell me that I needed to knock it down a few pegs. When I drink, I get a little less reserved and a little (a lot) more inappropriate. The people in… Read More
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of BC Ale Trail and Tourism New West, Discover Surrey and Tourism Delta. All opinions and text are mine. I started to fall in love when I saw they’d named their fermenters after the Golden Girls. Blanche, Rose, Dorothy and Sofia stood in the… Read More
Beer and Bacon Biscuits, the flakiest, most addictive biscuits ever! I know what you’re thinking. It’s Cinco de Mayo and I’m posting about biscuits. But bear with me, this makes sense. This isn’t just hangover food. It’s THE hangover food, it’s carbs, and greasy bacon, and hair of the dog, all in one. It’s like a… Read More
BBQ Beer Tex Mex Chicken Sliders in just 20-minutes Hi, my friends. I made something for you, something that seemed a bit of a necessity this week. A repurposing of things we’ve made in order to make it new. After those Beer Pickled Jalapeños we made, and the beer BBQ sauce, it just felt like I… Read More
