Bell’s Beer Bacon Cheeseburger Soup
I don’t think it’s any secret that I’m a fan of beer. So I don’t think it should come to a big surprise to any of you that I’m going to be doing a lot more cooking with beer. What IS a fun surprise is that I’m going to be writing recipes for DrinkingCraft.com! It’s…
Rick Potion #9
You guys. You’re watching this, right? Rick and Morty on Adult Swim? It’s fucking brilliant. It’s the brainchild of Dan Harmon (I love Community) and Justin Roiland (I love Lemongrab) and airs on Monday nights at 10:30pm. It just started in December and it has skyrocketed to the top of my favorite shows list. The…
Honey Chicken & Corn Chowder
I type this as I look out the window on snow covered trees and big beautiful flakes falling to the ground. Faintly, outside, I hear my neighbor spinning his tires trying to get out of the driveway. It’s beautiful. No, seriously. I fucking love winter. Here it is, February and people are complaining that the…
Crack Chips
I love baseball. I can get behind basketball. But I don’t love football. What I DO love about football is the excitement, friendly rivalries and massive amounts of beer and junk food that surround football fandom. So I can get behind the football culture, regardless of whether or not I give a shit about the…
Holy Shit Snacks!
Holy Shit Snacks! The new season of Archer premiered two weeks ago on FX. The show is taking a huge detour from what we’re used to and surprisingly, it’s not a suckfest. I was concerned that leaving the spy agency aspect of the show would be a mistake, but it doesn’t feel forced and is…
Stir Crazy Chicken
I’ve been a little less present on Bacon and Legs and HoboTrashcan as of lately. Over the holidays, my father-in-law became very ill. He passed last week. I’ve been with my family in Ohio, helping to take care of things. My father-in-law was a remarkable man with a super interesting life. I always knew of…
Tuna Lentil Casserole
My mom was a working, single parent with feisty children. But the house was always clean, food was always on the table, we got our vitamins and went to bed on time every night. Thinking back on it, the poor thing probably didn’t have any time for herself at all. But I will remember my…
Buddy the Elf’s Maple Ricotta Pasta Bake
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is baking lots and drinking beer. Or at least that’s how I do it, because believe-you-me, you do not want to hear me sing Christmas carols. One of my favorite holiday movies is Elf. Instant classic. Yeah, I went there. It’s heartwarming and adorable with funny moments and…
Snow Bunnies
One thing that was always a huge hit in my home growing up was “puppy chow”… also known as Muddy Buddies. Basically, Chex cereal covered in peanut butter, chocolate and powdered sugar. A super simple recipe that’s always a hit. In order to advance it a little, I decided it needed a little salty flavor,…
