Sticky Apple Pie Beer Focaccia Does anyone else think that “pumpkin spice” could just as easily be “apple pie spice” and be less basic and more appetizing or are you normal? I like pumpkin just fine but if it wasn’t shoved right into my face repeatedly from August until January I’d most likely forget about… Read More
Stout Brown Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies It’s officially stout weather and stout weather waits for no man. The second the mercury drops below 60°F it’s time for a celebratory stout. I will admit that I’ll drink stouts in the middle of an August heat wave but I don’t expect you to partake. That is… Read More
This week is a crossover, it’s a convergence of seasons and it’s my favorite part of the seasonal Venn diagram that makes up the year. We have cozy-fall-fireplace weather but we also still have summer produce in abundance. Including but not limited to the absurd amount of tomatoes in my garden that didn’t get… Read More

Ricotta Beer Pancakes with Blueberry Basil Syrup Evening pancakes are the best ones, but —hear me out— not for dinner. Sure, obviously pancakes for dinner are amazing, but I think we are missing the super obvious meal we should be having pancakes for. Dessert. Which, I realize, I just referred to as a MEAL but… Read More
Mini Lime Olive Oil Beer Cakes with Hibiscus Icing Are you growing something? And by that I mean produce not resentment and anxiety, although that too. I’m growing tomatoes because I decided it would make more sense to spend $80 and eleventy billion hours growing a small basket full on my own than going to… Read More
Brie Cheesecake Bars with Sour Ale Roasted Cherries Cheesecake is my love language, but I have another one. It’s feeding people. I’m like an Italian grandmother with a dairy fixation who thinks you’re too skinny and you need to eat more so you’ll be big and strong! So I made you a cheesecake but I… Read More
Cuban Sandwich Sliders with Beer Pickled Peppers and Onions Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve made sandwiches for a crowd? Yes, yes you do. Of course you do! Because you’re a human, with eyes, who has also been a party to the past 18 months of existence in this crazy world. We… Read More
Salted Beer Caramel and Stroopwafel Ice Cream Sandwiches I wanted to make Stroopwafels from scratch because that sort of thing makes me excited. So I read recipe after recipe after historical articles of the origins of these things because obviously, I know how to party. Then I came to my senses and realized I didn’t… Read More
Almond Cake with Beer Caramelized Pineapples and Hibiscus Whipped Cream it’s officially Cake For No Reason Season. We did the thing a few months ago where we gave up things in January (after we ate all the things during the holidays) then we worked out a little so we feel better, and now we don’t… Read More
Grilled halloumi Sliders with IPA Avocado Chimichurri Don’t look at me like that. I know, I KNOW! I grilled another thing. And I don’t even feel bad about it. It’s cheese you can grill (actually grill unlike those misnamed, misleading sandwiches that should be called “pan friend cheese” so no one gets their hopes up). … Read More
Chocolate Stout Covered Dates Stuffed with Dulce de Leche and Toasted Hazelnut Forgive me. I’ve made more Dulce de Leche. Because it’s so easy to make and not screw it up by being on your phone ordering another pair of leggings you don’t need and all of the sudden the caramel is burned and you’re… Read More
Hot Crab and Beer Cheese Stuffed Artichokes I know there are a lot of ways to stuff an artichoke, but this is the way I like to do it. You COULD cut it in half. You COULD stuff a bunch of crap between the leaves, but that’s not how I stuff things into my vegetables. … Read More
Triple cheese, Chicken and Elote Stuffed Charred Poblano with Lager Avocado Sauce Have you replaced doomscrolling with imagination vacations? As in, pretending as if you’re actually going to take a trip so you plan one by looking up hotels in the Caribbean as though you’re just about to click book? No? Just me? It is… Read More
Thai Meatballs with Stout Peanut Sauce We need to make goals that are easily attainable. At least in equal measure with the difficult ones. For every goal you make that involves weight, money, or extended family, make one that’s easy to keep. You know, for motivation. I have one for you, it’s easy. Your new… Read More
Korean Beer Glazed Short Ribs Do you also get anxiety over the most osbcure things? Like when someone asks you what your favorite [random category] is? I don’t like this, it makes me panic and seocnd guess all my life choices. The truth is, I DON’T have a favorite beer, or vacation spot, or color. … Read More
Beer Pickled Deviled Eggs with Goat Cheese and Coppa Do you like pickled things? And deviled eggs? Please say yes. I know, the idea of pickled eggs might be a little cringy at first, but just trust me, I’d never lead you astray. Pickled eggs with a rich filling and some gorgeously fatty meat is… Read More
Szechuan Beer Shrimp I have to warn you about something. It’s Szechuan peppercorns. Maybe you’re well versed in these little buggers, but maybe you aren’t, and it saves me from worrying about you if you don’t already know that they numb your mouth. Did you know this? Is this common knowledge and I just assume… Read More
