Beer Caramelized Leeks, Corn and Bacon Chowder It’s that time of the year again when we need to put beer in our soup. It’s getting darker and colder and I’m not even talking about the political news, I mean it more literally. Since you’re home all day, making a big pot of soup to keep… Read More
Beer Brined Lamb Chops with Herb Sauce over Fried Goat Cheese Let’s say you made a playlist, but for food. Except I’m going to call it a mixed tape because it makes me happy. On my Mixed Tape of Food I would have to include goat cheese. You can’t have complete dishes on your Mixed… Read More

Huli Huli Beer Chicken, the best chicken marinade! This is the front runner in my quest to grill all the things. Meaning, it is my current absolute-without-question-totally-serious favorite grilled thing. And I have grilled ALL THE THINGS, as in, I’ve grilled cake and garlic. Not at the same time, that would just be mean to… Read More

Grilled Beer Chicken Legs with Caramelized Yakitori Glaze I served this with homemade biscuits, is that weird? Yes, the answer is yes. I suppose that you should serve it with something vegetal, or salad-adjacent, but I needed a big ‘ole plate o’carbs.

You’d think that an actual grown-up human person would be able to eat chicken off stabby things, I mean SKEWERS, without actually stabbing themselves. But you would be wrong. I have several stabby thing related injuries and I’m trying not… Read More
Brioche French Toast with Beer Caramelized Peaches Breakfast is my favorite meal. Mostly because I get to make and eat it in my pajamas without judgment, but also because most of it is basically dessert we eat as an entree.

Black Bean and Grilled Poblano Elote Enchiladas with Chipotle Stout Red Sauce Ok, so I didn’t exactly grill the enchiladas, but I did think about grilling the enchiladas. I only grilled a few ingredients in the enchiladas instead of the entire dish, but I wanted to throw the entire thing on the grates. Next time… Read More
Sourdough Fried Chicken, the best fried chicken I’ve ever made! I read the other day that sourdough starters are a problem.
