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. It’s festive. Merry Cookies and Beer Every Day season, it’s a nondenominational holiday that we can all get behind. We need… Read More
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
Cranberry Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Upside Down Beer Cake, one bowl, super easy, crazy moist. This is NOT the week to pretend like you’re on a diet.

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? Not pizza, or ice cream, or cake, because there is nothing embarrassing about loving the classics. I’m talking about something that you were pretty sure you’d get side-eyed… Read More
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
Lemon Ginger Éclairs with Beer Caramel Topping. Easier than they look, and no frying makes these a simple and gorgeous way to make dessert.

I know, you don’t believe me, and that’s… Read More
Pineapple Beer Jalapeño Ice Cream So, I did the thing. That thing where I tell you about a recipe but don’t actually give it to you. Because apparently quarantine has made me into an asshole. Or at the very least, unaware of life outside my little bubble of beer and making all the things. As… Read More
Mexican Hot Chocolate Beer Brownies with Churro Crust I made your brownies spicy and I don’t even feel bad about it. But it’s so you don’t have to share with anyone who doesn’t like spicy things. You can even over-exaggerate just HOW spicy they are in order to keep them all for yourself, I won’t… Read More
Blueberry Beer Cream Cheese Cake with Basil Whipped Cream This might be a giant blueberry muffin with an almost creamy texture, and it might be a cake that doesn’t actually need frosting. Maybe it’s a hybrid, the nexus of two similar foods, a “Cuffin”, or a “Make.” But don’t overthink it, it’s an easy one-bowl… Read More
Chocolate Murder Beer Cheesecake Bars Ok, I know, MURDER is a little aggressive. But it’s like “death by chocolate” just more intense. These aren’t a “passed away peacefully in their sleep” type of bars, these are much more in your face. Literally and figuratively. And if I’m going to be taken out by a baked… Read More
Sourdough Old Fashioned Beer Doughnuts, no bakers yeast makes these easy to make! This is the exception to the rule. As a rule, yeasted doughnuts are superior to all other doughnuts and cake doughnuts are just fried muffins. BUT we can all make an exception for Old Fashioned doughnuts because they are the best and… Read More
I know what you’re thinking. You’re looking at this thinking, “Why you say crostata when this is clearly a galette?” No? You weren’t thinking that because you’re normal and not a huge nerd like me? Sorry. But now I have to address this issue. This is what happens when I create a problem that didn’t… Read More
