Obatzda Bavarian Beer Cheese Dip. This rich and piquant beer garden classic is made with just a few simple ingredients and is perfect to serve with pretzels or rye bread. I’ve never been much of a traveler. Is that really uncool to admit? Okay, yeah, it is. But I like to be honest here, and…
Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Beer Bratwurst
This post is sponsored by Smithfield, who noticed my ongoing brat-obsession and decided to help make these bacony bratwursts possible. I wasn’t sure if I should post this recipe or destroy it immediately, because I’ve gotta be honest, it’s going to ruin run-of-the-mill grilled sausage for you. Once you’ve had Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Beer Bratwurst you can…
Slow Cooker Ancho Coffee Shredded Beef
I’m trying to be a glass-half-full sort of person, so instead of apologizing that this Slow Cooker Ancho Coffee Shredded Beef recipe wasn’t out in time for you to pile it into your Cinco de Mayo tacos, I’m going to say that I’m doing a public service by sharing it with you SO FAR AHEAD…
15 Minute Pimento Beer Cheese
This 15 Minute Pimento Beer Cheese is dangerous. You might want to close out of this blog post right now. Navigate away, look elsewhere, forget you ever saw this glorious cheese masterpiece and go on with your life.

Malted Guinness Chocolate Cake with Baileys Frosting

And next year. And every chance you get for…
Blue Moon Orange Creamsicles
Just over two years ago, I came up with one of my most popular recipes– Creamy Margarita Popsicles. At the time, James told me that they were going to be a hit; “You should sell these,” he said, “You’d make a lot of money.” And even though I didn’t decide to venture into entrepreneurship with a…
Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Nuggets Stuffed with Beer Cheese
It was almost exactly three years ago that I was spending my Winter Break at Rutgers, hanging out with whichever of my sorority sisters were still around, wasting countless hours at James’ fraternity house, and singing and dancing to Christmas songs with all of our friends who decided to stay in New Brunswick. James and I weren’t…
Smoky Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Penne
This is one of those recipes that shows that I’m incapable of making tough decisions. I had so many ingredients on hand that I was excited to use, but I kept telling myself not to overdo it. Sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, ale, mustard, chicken, bacon, cream, pasta, parmesan, and smoked provolone? No. No, I couldn’t… (Spoiler alert: Yes, I…
Crock Pot Carnitas Tacos with Chipotle Cream
There are few things in the world more glorious than a meal that you prep in the morning, forget about for a few hours while you go to work or run errands or watch 6 back-to-back episodes of Project Runway on OnDemand (I can’t be the only marathon-TV-watcher here), and put the final finishing touches…
Blue Cheese Garlic Beer Bread
Now that the cold weather has finally kicked in, most people are dreaming about baking up cookies, apple creations, and pumpkin masterpieces. You can definitely lump me in with that bunch– my kitchen has been smelling like brown sugar and cinnamon for the past several weeks now, and there’s no sign of it stopping any…
Bratwurst Sliders with Beer Cheese and Beer Braised Onions
These Bratwurst Sliders are loaded up little sandwiches that pack a lot of flavor (and beer) into small servings. Don’t forget the beer cheese (which is surprisingly easy to make) or the beer braised onions, which are rich and caramelized, if you really want to do it right. Bonus points if you make the pretzel…
