Beer Apple Fritters with Vanilla Maple Glaze Is it just me or are we all hypochondriacs right now? Was that sneeze allergies or a deadly virus? Is the house too hot or do I have a deadly virus? Did I eat something weird or do I have a deadly virus? It’s nonstop. But on the… Read More
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
Key Lime Pilsner Loaf Cake with Mezcal Icing We all need cake right now, we do. It helps. Apparently so does social distancing and hand washing. And don’t forget that alcohol kills all germs. Where does that leave us? Washing our hands and drinking alone. There are worse things, I suppose, especially when you have… Read More
Dive Bars: Beer, Chocolate, Pretzel, and Potato Chip Cookie Bars We need this right now, the self-care of treats. The idea that although we are home, and a little sick with worry, we still need to live. We need to be present, more now that ever. Before I started this adventure of cooking with… Read More
There are two ways to look at the fact that I took one of the healthiest drink trends and beered it up. First, some of you might eye-roll this and wonder why I’d add sugar and delicious beer to Golden Milk when most people drink it for all the health benefits. Others of… Read More
White Chocolate Cake with Blood Orange Filling and Russian Imperial Buttercream The most frustrated I have even gotten while cooking, came at the hands of a cake. Not just a little frustrated, but throwing an actual tantrum in the kitchen all by myself. This is the ugly truth, people, if you can’t handle it, please… Read More
Stout S’mores & Pretzel Fudge (no gelatin, vegetarian safe!) I know, I KNOW! This was supposed to get to you a week ago, but that’s what sort of month I’m having. I was all set to edit the photos and get this up and then this happened so I’ve been having a hard time adulting… Read More
Chocolate Stout Cookies with Salted Dulce De Leche Filling (pressure cooker or stovetop) the filling is TOO easy to make it’s almost not fair! Don’t make these. Seriously, turn back now while you still can!! Because once you make them and realize how easy it is to make SALTED Dulce de Leche sandwiched between two… Read More
Stout Chocolate and Vanilla Beer Cream Pie with Rum Whipped Cream Friends, you need to make a decision. 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 Lush, I give to you a bacon dessert recipe. Is that because I want to make all the people happy, you ask? No, is more… 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
Chocolate Chip and Beer Caramel Cookie Bars If you haven’t been putting caramel in your cookie bars it’s time to rectify that injustice. I know, you’ve had other things to do, I get that. But now’s the time. Because if you’re going to all the trouble to make some cookie bars it’s not going to… 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
