Let’s say you’re on a deserted (dessert-ed?) island and you can only have one pie, what would it be? Don’t get too caught up with that fact that you’re on an island you don’t NEED pie, you… Read More
I’m glad chai is making a comeback, aren’t you? I didn’t know chai was making a comeback, you think to yourself. Maybe it isn’t “making a comeback” in the traditional sense as much as I want to chai-ify all the things right now. It’s like pumpkin spice, but without the societal eye roll. Which is… Read More
Chocolate Porter Pecan Bars with Beer Candied Bacon I know, I KNOW! Don’t look at me like that. I know that even though I’m in the midst of promoting my vegetarian cooking with beer book, I give to you a bacon dessert recipe. Is that because I want to make all the people happy, you… Read More
I can’t just be a normal person and go to the store when I want a cookie. I have to turn my oven on in August and bake something new because I hate myself, apparently. Or maybe I hate the idea of repetition, the same vacation, same girls nights, same recipes, same lasagna Wednesday, it… 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. Most people would arrive at house flanked with apricot trees and think that sampling a couple right off the tree sounds like a good idea. I don’t let the barrels of… Read More

Look at you, you weirdo. Passing all those normal recipes for regular ice cream and coming to visit me and my left of center concoction that involves my two favorite foods. When you ask me what kind of cake I want for my birthday, the answer is no. I don’t want cake (ok, I do,… Read More
Cherry Stout Beer Brownies Don’t look at me like that. I know we agreed that brownies shouldn’t be bastardized by things like nuts or fruit, but this is different. Mostly because I wanted to do it and rules don’t apply when I feel like this, you know how it goes. Just hear me out. When… Read More
Beer Doughnut Ice Cream Sandwiches Have you ever been interviewed by a kid? It’s the best. They aren’t like grown-ups, they don’t care what your job is or where you went to college. They never ask you to detail the history of your current career trajectory, or how you plan to vote. They ask… Read More
No Churn Shandy Gelato More often than not I make you no-churn recipes even though I have not one, but two ice cream makers. Mostly it’s because I hate when you read my ice cream maker recipes and sad face me because you either don’t have one, or yours is somehow out of commission. So, mostly… 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.

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
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. Unless you don’t have teeth, then you get a pass. I don’t get jealous of people eating them raw like a jungle creature,… Read More
Strawberry Lemonade Beer Bars Let’s talk unpopular opinions, shall we? We haven’t fought about anything in a while so let’s jump in. Starting with food-related topics that will most likely piss you off, but it’s your turn next, so just hang on. Milk chocolate is not worth the calories, but dark chocolate deserves its own… Read More
10 Minute Pale Ale Puff Pastry + Beer Caramel Apple Tartlets LOOK AT THOSE LAYERS! I need to admit to you that I used to be one of those “puff pastry is a crazy amount of work so just buy it” people. Until today. TODAY I made it with a food processor and it took ten… Read More
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
Chocolate Stout Pretzel Peanut Butter Bars This is what happens when I’m trapped. The snow is piling up around Seattle in a way that we are fundamentally unprepared for, physically and emotionally. Inches have turned to feet and there is no end in sight. I’m a California girl, in my blood and in my bones,… Read More
