Before there was nerdery, there was a whole collection of comfort food and craft beer recipes. Explore and enjoy.
In Ohio, we call them subs. In Philly, we call them hoagies. You can argue that there are subtle differences, but overall, they are the same thing. What you can’t argue is how much it sucks that they are primarily a lunch-food item. No more, my friends. I whipped up a solid, hearty breakfast hoagie…
There are few things greater in life than the combination of sweet and salty. Especially when the sweet component comes from chocolate. But I’m not about to be satisfied with that. I WANT to make it better. Oh wait, I did. I added beer. These easy-to-make/easier-to-eat Porter & Pretzel Chocolate truffles are going with you…
If there’s one thing I know, it’s comfort food. I grew up on it. My mom always made the best shit. One of my favorites, though we didn’t get it often, was sausage, gravy and biscuits. When brainstorming recipes for DrinkingCraft.com, I like to play to my strengths and try to enhance the already awesome…
Ohio and hot dogs sort of go hand-in-hand for me. I went to Ohio University and there was this great little restaurant called O’Betty’s. They had the most fun hot dogs with the best fries. It was always my favorite drunk food choice and the place I’d take visiting friends. (They even have a hot…
I’ve done it you guys. I’ve shared the secret of my existence. Black bean bowls. I literally cook a pound of black beans every week and eat them throughout. I usually add some chicken sausage and veggies. It’s a no-brainer. It’s super quick and easy, it tastes great and it’s nutritious. Then I had the…
My brother started dating this girl. I was 9, he was 16. They worked at Burger King together. I was excited to have a new person around the house… cause I was a kid and I liked to show off. Come to think of it, I was probably pretty damn obnoxious. So this girl brought…
St. Patrick’s Day is upon us, friends. Many of you start drinking and celebrating a month in advance. I don’t get SUPER into the holiday, I’ll admit it. But I do love cooking for it. It’s such a great opportunity to pull out new ingredients and flavors that you don’t usually take the chance to…
Hows about some Philadelphia in your mouth!? Head over to DrinkingCraft.com and check out my latest Ode to Philly. (I know I do it a lot, but I can’t help it, I love this town!) I’ve put together some delicious, pillowy soft pretzels using the light, crisp and too-easily chuggable Victory Lager. Loaded with four…
Fried chicken is good, right? And why is that? It’s because of the crispy, breaded chicken skin. Okay, hear me out. I know this is going to sound a little unconventional but… what if you got rid of the meat? I know that’s a fat girl move. I know that Twitter sensation, @shitfatgirlssay would be…
I’m a winter girl. But if there is one thing that gets me really excited for spring, it’s baseball. I know other people get excited about the weather, spring cleaning, March Madness. But for me, it’s baseball. Even if it’s watching the game from home (what up, MLBtv!?), I’m kicking back with a good beer…
