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 make… 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 almost Cinco de Mayo and I’m posting about Beer and Bacon 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… 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
Which slider recipes will come out on top: Crab Cake Sliders made with Kettle Brand Sea Salt and Vinegar Chips, paired with a pilsner, or Shrimp and Grits Sliders made with Kettle Brand Maple Bacon Chips paired with an IPA? I’m going to wager a bet that your weekend may be spent, in part, gathered around a… Read More
Three Cheese Jalapeno Skillet Beer Cheese Dip, made in a skillet, warm and bubbly I’ve hit a benchmark of sorts. A way of measuring if I’m actually becoming successful at this weird chosen profession that I, essentially, just made up. Money has never been much of a benchmark for me, other than in a “can… Read More
Baked Everything Bagel Beer Chicken Legs They tell me it’s all about the water. That’s what bagel people will tell you if you listen long enough. That New York bagels are obviously the best because of the magical properties that the water contains. That’s also, coincidentally enough, what beer people will tell you. That different… Read More
Bacon and Beer Bread Stuffing As biased as I am, I can pretty solidly affirm that beer needs to be your adult beverage of choice for Thanksgiving. The flavors of your fall Holiday table will run around much better with the malt, spices, and carbonation that beer has to offer than any other alcoholic concoction.… Read More
Chili Brown Sugar Oven Beer Can Chicken A few months ago I sat at a table with a mess of brewers and beer people. The conversation turned to the water shortage, and farming practices. The debate went back and forth, what we can do, what we need to be careful of, and even how to… Read More
I just use it as an excuse. The truth is, I only use the cultural intrigue over Oktoberfest as an excuse to do things like this. Because in any reasonable persons mind, this is a bit too far. One too many. Coco Chanel is telling me to take something off before I leave the house… Read More
Loaded Beer and Bacon Corn Chowder Don’t give me that look. I fully aware that in most parts of the world, it’s still summer. There is still frolicking in flip-flops and water activities to be done in the two weeks before fall officially sets in. But where I live, the rain-soaked-90’s-music-mecca, I already have the… Read More
