Sticky Apple Pie Beer Focaccia Does anyone else think that “pumpkin spice” could just as easily be “apple pie spice” and be less basic and more appetizing or are you normal? I like pumpkin just fine but if it wasn’t shoved right into my face repeatedly from August until January I’d most likely forget about… Read More
Stout Brown Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies It’s officially stout weather and stout weather waits for no man. The second the mercury drops below 60°F it’s time for a celebratory stout.

Mini Lime Olive Oil Beer Cakes with Hibiscus Icing Are you growing something? And by that I mean produce not resentment and anxiety, although that too.

Brie Cheesecake Bars with Sour Ale Roasted Cherries Cheesecake is my love language, but I have another one. It’s feeding people.

Salted Beer Caramel and Stroopwafel Ice Cream Sandwiches I wanted to make Stroopwafels from scratch because that sort of thing makes me excited.

Almond Cake with Beer Caramelized Pineapples and Hibiscus Whipped Cream it’s officially Cake For No Reason Season.

Chocolate Stout Covered Dates Stuffed with Dulce de Leche and Toasted Hazelnut Forgive me. I’ve made more Dulce de Leche.

Browned Butter Shortbread Salted Beer Caramel and Espresso Chocolate Bars We’re almost there, in the homestretch now. We are close to the end of the strangest year that ever was and we all deserve a treat to celebrate. We made it, we’ve survived, mostly intact, only partially traumatized. Spend the next handful of days letting… Read More
Chocolate Stout Salted Caramel and Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream Pie Apparently, there is quite a bit of disagreement about ice cream-related desserts. So, let’s get into it. Do you call this an ice cream cake or are you right and call it a pie? Do you like a layer of cake in the center… Read More
Bourbon Beer and Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies Apparently, the holidays are here. And by “holidays” I mean an excuse to eat all the things and fatten up my neighbors with cookies and beer.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Stout Fudge Remember how cute we were in March when quarantine started and we all collectively yelled, “Two weeks?! We are going to be like this for two weeks?!” That was adorable. I’m glad I didn’t know how long we’d be doing this because I don’t know if I could have handled… Read More

Hobo Cookies with Beer Candied Bacon I know, I KNOW! What does “hobo” cookies even mean?! There are cowboy cookies, and compost cookies, and I needed a word that went in that direction. The runners up were Pirate Cookies and Junk Drawer cookies because I can’t just be a normal person and name them “cookies”.… Read More
Miniature Dutch Baby Oven Beer Pancakes with Nutella Whipped Cream I’m not sure what I miss more, travel, or alone time. Both of these have been scarce this year, and I miss both fiercely. This is what I miss: airplanes. Being on a plane, headphones in, looking out the window from somewhere in the middle… Read More
Chewy Gingerbread Cookies with Maple Stout Cream Cheese Filling When you were a kid, was there a thing you loved in a way that was almost embarrassing?

Beer Caramelized Apple Tarte Tatin I wish I could tell you what apples I used for this, but I can’t. And by CAN’T I don’t mean WON’T, because I’d tell you anything, especially after a few beers. But these apples came from my backyard apple tree of unknown origin. The Apple Tree of Resentment, as… Read More
Beer and Berry Cobbler Bars Cobbler doesn’t make sense to me. It’s delicious, obviously, but it looks like a mistake. Like an upside-down pie that fell into a pan someone just pretended it was supposed to be that way and we all just went along with it because we still wanted to eat it. Which… Read More
