Slow Cooker Pale Ale Corn Dip
So, I have another game day recipe for you today. Can you sense a trend? I’m kind of counting down the days until the start of the season(s). I’ll try to tone it down a notch. I know that I can be exhausting with my obsessions sometimes. ;) Anyway, I love to serve dip when […]
Italian-Style Slow Cooker Meatballs
So who is ready for football season to begin?! I know that I have been waiting for this time ever since the season ended last year! Football is kind of a big deal in my family. My parents have always been diehard Steelers’ fans (as am I) when it comes to professional football, and huge […]
Ginger Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
I have been told recently that it is too soon for pumpkin. I know, it’s only the middle of August, but here is the thing…I really just don’t care, and that about sums up my thoughts on the subject. Don’t get me wrong, I love summer just like the rest of ’em, but fall will […]
12 Beers to Serve this Thanksgiving

Move over wine, you aren’t alone anymore. Beer pairings are becoming just as popular as wine pairings these days, and I couldn’t be more excited about it. What I didn’t like about preparing this list, was how many more beers I wanted to add to it. The list of Fall and Winter beers that […]
Apple Cider and Cranberry Sangria
If any of you know me at all, I’m not a big cocktail drinker. Sure, I enjoy a mojito or a martini every once in a while, but I think the title of my blog says it all. I tend to lean towards beer: really good craft beer. Sangria is different though; and although […]
20 Thanksgiving Recipes That Will Rock Your World

It’s about that time for a good round up, and since we are less than a week away from the biggest food day of the year, a Thanksgiving round up was certainly in order. Of course, I am missing the star of the show in this round up: the turkey. To be honest, I […]
Autumn Salad with Butternut Squash
I love the idea of serving a salad for Thanksgiving dinner. Normally, there are so many heavy foods thrown into the mix (at least in my home there are (=). A salad is the perfect way to tone the heaviness of every other dish on the table. Honestly, I like this Autumn salad with […]
Chocolate Chip and Bacon Pumpkin Scones (with cinnamon glaze)
I don’t know about you, but the last thing I want to think about on Thanksgiving is breakfast. I mean I have so much more to worry about, and breakfast is usually the furthest thing from my mind. Then there’s the whole idea of getting too full on breakfast to enjoy the actual turkey […]
Creamy Ranch Carrot Casserole
You guys. These carrots. I don’t even have the words to describe them. It was kind of a last minute decision to throw them into a casserole dish. Originally, I had thought to make a glazed carrots recipe (which is how I normally make them), but a casserole sounded much more fun…and it was…it […]
