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

Salted Espresso Beer Chocolate Chip Muffins These days, when time seems to run together, and every day is blursday the 37th of Septober, it just makes sense to have something that tastes like coffee and beer.

Beer and Berry Cobbler Bars Cobbler doesn’t make sense to me. It’s delicious, obviously, but it looks like a mistake.

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.
