Balsamic Stout Short Ribs, so rich and delicious! This is one of those unimpressive-very-impressive dishes. Sounds impressive, tastes impressive, but requires a very unimpressive amount of skill. Some things take skill, lots of it, years of it. Some things just take a long bath in the oven and they come out just right. Every time.… Read More
Stout Creole Gumbo over Smokey Cheddar Grits This is something you need to be warned about. At least I did and I think we are alike, you and I. When I first started to dive into trying to figure out this food and cooking thing I didn’t know how important some things were, because not… Read More
Broiled Salmon with IPA Thai Chili Sauce This is one of those ways that I hide. I pretend like I have it all together (I super don’t), but I can crank out a meal in less than 15 minutes so that makes me feel like I’m an actual grown-up. We all have our things. I… Read More
Spinach Artichoke Dip Stuffed Beer Steamed Mushrooms (perfect appetizer for thanksgiving or vegetarian main!) You guys, it’s here. IT. IS. HERE!! After two years of working and waiting I finally have an actual, real-life, physical copy of my book LUSH in my grubby little paws. It’s gorgeous and by far my favorite book I’ve ever… Read More
After over two years in the making my book, Lush: A Season-by-Season Celebration of Craft Beer and Produce, is finally coming out in just a few short weeks! It is by far, without hesitation, the best thing I’ve ever done professionally. I’m immensely proud of it and I can’t wait for you to see it. To… Read More
Beer Chicken Satay with Almond Stout Dipping Sauce I have recently discovered, to my abject horror, that I vastly prefer almond butter to peanut butter. Why so horrified, you ask? Because it is, in my conservative estimation, about one thousand times more expensive. And I am cheap. Have I told you this? That I have… Read More
Grilled Beer Butter Scallops with Cherry Salsa, with a grill or a grill pan! Let’s talk scallops for a second. I know, I’ve given you this lecture before but it’s been a while. And I can’t just go around assuming you remember everything I say, I forget half of what I say on a daily… Read More
Diageo Beer Company USA, sponsored this post. Partnerships with The Beeroness and outside companies only occur when the company’s products are ones I use and enjoy myself. All ideas, words, and opinions are my own. The first brewery I ever visited was in Ireland when I was in college. I’d taken a flight to Dublin,… Read More
Lemon Artichoke Skillet Beer Chicken Life is too short for soggy chicken skin, this is a fact. Crispy chicken skin is the only way to live life, and I have the secret. It’s a cold pan. Not a “put in the fridge” cold, but now that you say that, I do want to try that.… Read More
Honey Beer Glazed Salmon with Mango Avocado Salsa I need this, it’s rather necessary. Since I spend my life contractually obligated to drink beer and eat foods like this and this, I need recipes like this Salmon with Mango Avocado Salsa. For the sake of my liver and my skinny jeans, it’s important. But I… Read More
Spicy Beer Pulled Pork Stuffed Sweet Potatoes Somedays the internet is just pug videos and Game of Thrones memes and other days it feels so full of trolls lurking just under the surface, waiting with their beady little eyes for the chance to pounce. On the bad days, I have to believe those of us who… Read More
Mini Chorizo Stout Breakfast Tarts (with vegetarian option) It happens to all of us, right? One day we’re young and cool and the next day we’re deciding which grocery store to go to based on home much we like the carts. PLANNING on having people over for breakfast is another one of those things.… Read More
Grilled Cilantro Lime Beer Chicken I go through phases of grilling all the things. And by ALL, I pretty much mean it. I once grilled garlic. Nothing edible is safe when I’m in this phase. I always grill my homemade pizza, all fruit is better grilled, I’ve even grilled all the ingredients for guacamole, and… Read More
Maple Beer Glazed Crispy Pork Belly, the easiest and tastiest pork belly I’ve ever made! Pork belly is an investment. Not financially—it’s actually pretty inexpensive—it’s a time investment. One that’s well worth the effort with the right recipe. I’ve made pork belly so many times over the years and I’ve learned that patience is key… Read More
Balsamic Stout Mushroom Sandwich with Chipotle Guac and Caramelized Leeks It’s (almost) here. After more than 2 years in the making, it’s finally coming together. The cookbook that started with a vague idea and morphed into Lush: A Season-by-Season Celebration of Craft Beer and Produce is coming to life. It’s up for pre-order on… Read More
Green Beer Mac N Cheese (no food dye) This is your reminder not to take things too seriously. You know, the “don’t sweat the small stuff, also it’s all small stuff,” reminder that we should all just relax and take it easy. On ourselves, on strangers, on the internet people who seem crazy but maybe… Read More
Sheet Pan Sweet Chili Glazed Beer Chicken Do you ever wonder how long you’d live in a zombie apocalypse? Everyone imagine themselves surviving far into the future of the new world, rebuilding alongside fellow badass humans who have managed to evade bitey undead soldiers. But, most people are wrong. The only people whom I have… Read More
Kung Pao Porter Chicken We ALL have that food. The food that you hated as a kid, assuming that you hated all such foods, and then you grew up and realized that you didn’t hate it all all. You had just been force-fed some horrendous version of said food, and once you had a well-made… Read More
