Chocolate Stout Hot Chocolate
I’m a sucker for hot chocolate. I’m especially a sucker for hot chocolate when it involves beer, spice and tons and tons of chocolate. Like, TONS of chocolate. I don’t cook with beer very often…hardly ever, actually. It makes me nervous, to be honest. I love the flavor of beer (obviously), and I love […]
Bacon and Cheese Savory Muffins with Honey Butter
I have just four little words for you today: Thank God It’s Friday. I have never been more excited for the weekend to be here. It’s not that I have any special plans. Actually, I have no plans. I just want to stay out of the kitchen and relax. With our move just about […]
Burrata BLT with Spicy Mayo
BLTs are one of my favorite comfort foods of all time. What makes them so different from other comfort foods is that they can be whipped up in no time. This, I love. This is my fun spin on a traditional BLT. I am OBSESSED with burrata lately. When it comes to cheese, it’s […]
BBQ Pulled Pork Skillet Nachos
I find that I come up with the best snacks when I have a bunch of food in the fridge I need to get rid of. These skillet nachos just happen to be a perfect solution to this little problem. I had half of a pork shoulder I needed to use up. — If […]
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Every once in a while Zach asks me to make cookies, and when he does, it’s ALWAYS chocolate chip. Peanut butter, chocolate chip…dark chocolate, chocolate chip…regular old chocolate chip…it usually doesn’t matter…as long as it’s chocolate chip. This time, I thought that throwing mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups into the mix would be […]
Chopped Chicken Salad with Cashew Honey Mustard
Once in a while, I just want a really good salad. This chopped chicken salad combines some of my favorite salad ingredients. I’m a sucker for a combination of fruits and veggies when I make a salad. I think it’s that touch of sweetness I crave from the fruit that gets my wheels turning. […]
Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies (Muffin Top Cookies)
I’ve been throwing sprinkles on everything here lately. I have to admit, my addiction to them has gotten a little out of control. I think they just get cuter with each and every year, so I apologize that this Valentine’s Day theme has been taking over Cooking and Beer. This will change after Friday, […]
Thai Chicken Tacos with Peanut Vinaigrette
Uhh, you guys…these tacos…I can’t even begin to explain how insane they were. It was a spur of the moment decision for me to make Thai chicken tacos yesterday. It’s been a while since we had a taco, and the craving was totally there. They ended up being one of the simplest, most satisfying […]
Skinny Egg Salad
I am definitely coming down with something. I blame Zach. He left here with a super annoying head cold, and I think that it finally caught up with me. This is no fun as you can imagine, and I can see a day of lounging in bed with a nice hot cup of tea. […]
