Chocolate Stout Brownie Bread, one bowl and just a few minutes! I’ve been inundation you with posts lately, please give me a pass. You’re my therapy, truly. Cooking you things, and baking you a loaf cake that I call “bread” because it doesn’t sound as bad calling it a cake, is the way I’m coping… Read More
Rosemary Olive Oil Beer Biscuits with Tomato Garlic Confit (dairy and egg-free) I have a theory. I really believe that breakfast being touted as the most important meal of the day has nothing to do with nutrition. It’s because we cook breakfast for the most important people in our lives. We’ll have a mid-day coffee,… Read More
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
Overnight Maple Beer Pecan Croissant Bread Pudding Muffins Let’s talk unpopular opinions again, shall we? It’s fun when we pretend to fight. I’ll start off this holiday edition of UO with these little gems: Love Actual is a terrible movie. It’s about people who hardly know each other and aren’t really in LOVE but just… Read More
Mini Chorizo Stout Breakfast Tarts (with vegetarian option) It happens to all of us, right? One day we’re young and cool and the next day we’re deciding which grocery store to go to based on home much we like the carts. PLANNING on having people over for breakfast is another one of those things.… Read More
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
Pineapple Hefeweizen French Toast Bake with Rum Whipped Cream This is how we lie to ourselves. And we’re really good at it, aren’t we? This is dessert, we know that. It carries all the hallmarks of a post-dinner treat, but we ignore them and call it breakfast. Because we don’t want to wait all day… Read More
Beer Cornbread Biscuits This was really born out of necessity, at least the first time I made it. I’m not very organized, open any of my cabinets and you’ll see it (you’ll be horrified). My house is more or less clean but my life is messy. Anything that I can put in a closet,… Read More
Chocolate Stout Brownie Waffles, beer for breakfast! This is a PSA. In the light of everything else that will fly at you from your computer this week, all the sad-terrible-no-good-very-bad-news that will be inflicted on you, I’ve got some good news. Waffles aren’t just for breakfast. Breakfast has just been hoarding them. Breakfast can be… Read More
One Bowl Chocolate Chip Beer Bread, in your oven in five minutes, in your face in one hour! Fall baking isn’t as much about the food as it is about the fact that we can turn the oven on again. Just days ago, it seems, we were all googling “no-cook dinners” and hoping the triple-digit heat… Read More
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
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
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
Breakfast Empanadas and 24 Hours in Grand Rapids Beer City USA I stood, unprepared, in what was rapidly becoming a snowstorm outside the gates of an outdoor beer festival in Grand Rapids, Michigan. On a day that locals swore would be met with “spring like weather,” only to have the weather Gods laugh in… Read More
10-minute Beer Bread Cinnamon Rolls: Takes ten minutes to get these in your oven! It started years ago, when, for a brief moment, I was trying to be less weird and figure out if “normal” was my bag. For some reason, cinnamon rolls seems like something normal people did on Christmas. I grew up with… Read More
Mascarpone Winter Ale Stuffed French Toast Winter ushers in a new crop of hard-to-get-your-hands-on beers, and they are just starting to poke their heads out the pumpkin saturated beer crowd. Winter ales have flown under the main-stream-beer-radar for a while, getting a bit lost as beer drinkers trample from the squash-spice section over to the… Read More
Beer Dutch Babies Oven Pancakes with Peaches and Cream This was the first recipe I ever memorized. I was 16 and I’d driven 3 hours to stay at a house on the lake with a few friends. Five guys shared a dirty, old, charming, huge, lakeside craftsman house and were very clearly expecting me to… Read More
