Grilled Beer Brats with Pineapple Salsa and Bourbon BBQ Brand Kettle Chips This post is sponsored by Kettle Brand Chips. Mostly because I have a well-known love for all of their chips and I really wanted to see what flavors they had up their sleeves, they did not disappoint. All words and opinions are my… Read More
Grilled Lime and Herb Beer Chicken I have a beer fridge in my office!! There really isn’t a way to overstate how happy this makes me. My excessive stash of beer that once took up residence in my regular-food-fridge is now happily occupying a boozy-VIP-space in my office between some nerdy books and a weird ceramic… Read More
Mushroom Stout Not-Bolognese AKA Best Vegetarian Pasta Sauce Ever This isn’t a bolognese, I know that because my proper bolognese with tons of pork and beef is the stuff of dreams. There really isn’t a word for this sauce, it’s vegetable based but as meaty as you can get without the meat. I’m knee deep… Read More
Beer and Blood Orange Roast Chicken Let’s forget for a second that we’ve never actually met. After all, it’s easy to pretend that we know each other. I’ve told you about the time I almost died in Morocco, and the time I was asked to do porn, but we’ve never shared a beer in real… Read More
Instant Pot Duck Ale Chili People ask me a lot of questions. Obviously, I have a weird life and weird job that warrants question asking from strangers and well-intentioned people at dinner parties that can’t wrap their brains around this being a real job. I get it, I still have a hard time believing that this… Read More
Fiery Thai Kettle Chips and Sweet Potato Burgers with Beer Sweet Chili Cream Sauce I was a vegetarian for 3 years. Mostly because I grew up on a farm, and I saw how the sausage was made. It didn’t stick, but what did stick is my true and complete love for non-meat burgers (and yes,… Read More
Beer Chicken Tortilla Soup, best 20 minute soup ever. You’d be shocked if you knew how many nights I lay away wondering what you want me to make. Trying to predict what it is that you’ll take notice of, share, and love as much as I do. Sometimes I go too far with it and… Read More
Beer Cheeseburger Pie with Dill Pickle Potato Chip Crust This was the first recipe I ever cooked. Well, a variation of this, devoid of beer and with the inclusion of Bisquick. I was 9 and my mom asked me to pick a recipe I wanted to cook. I had no idea where to start. I… Read More
15 minutes to this delicious dinner: Indian Beer and Butter Chicken There’s a small Indian restaurant in LA, run by an amazing family from Delhi. They cook family recipes for the masses who line up outside their doors. I’d make a call to this little spot when I was sick, or just too tired to leave… Read More
Buffalo Beer Chicken Wing Soup It occurs to me that in the event of a zombie apocalypse I have no useful skills. No one is weeks deep in a bunker, unshowered, clothes unchanged and thinks: “What I really need is someone to take a great picture of this MRE before I eat it.” Oh,… Read More
Prosciutto Mushroom Pasta in a Porter Cream Sauce I’ve figured something out. I have a reverse sense of fear. Is this a thing? I think so, even if it’s a term I just made up. I’m terrified of things that shouldn’t scare me, like mall Santas, commitment, and going on a cruise. But things that… Read More
Garlic Sriracha Beer Steamed Mussels This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of BC Ale Trail and Tourism New West, Discover Surrey and Tourism Delta. All opinions and text are mine. TO COME Day two began how all days should begin: with fried chicken. River Market in New West is a destination… Read More
Grilled Garlic Beer Butter Lobster I needed a code word, a signal that it was too much. It was devised as a way to tell me that I needed to knock it down a few pegs. When I drink, I get a little less reserved and a little (a lot) more inappropriate. The people in… Read More
Stout Osso Buco It’s been eye opening. The way the past few months have unfolded has shaken me awake. I’ve had to face the things about myself that I kept hidden like jewels in a wall safe. What I do for attention and what I do to push people away, the masks I wear and… Read More
Grilled Stout Steak Sandwich with Charred Poblanos and Blue Cheese Sour Cream. My new favorite sandwich! Of all the things I love about this weird job I invented for myself, I have a favorite. A hands-down-favorite aspect of it all: the people. It sounds trite, saccharine, melodramatic, but it’s true. The people you meet in… Read More
Stout Smoked Ribs with Easy DIY Smoker. Once you make ribs this way, you’ll never go back! I’m having one of those days. You have them too, I know you do. When you feel like you’re failing at everything, like you aren’t where you’re supposed to be, like if people really knew you weren’t as… Read More
BBQ Beer Tex Mex Chicken Sliders in just 20-minutes Hi, my friends. I made something for you, something that seemed a bit of a necessity this week. A repurposing of things we’ve made in order to make it new. After those Beer Pickled Jalapeños we made, and the beer BBQ sauce, it just felt like I… Read More
Beer Cheese Burger with Onion Rings and Beer Pickled Jalapenos Don’t make this. I’m warning you. But here you are, still reading, contemplating making this. So let me tell you how this will go down. First, it’ll seem like a lot of steps, you’ll hesitate. Then you’ll realize that the jalapeños can be made weeks… Read More
