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…
Every time I’m really into a show and the season ends I feel like I’m going to DIE before the next one starts. It’s always so fucking long between seasons and seasons are just far too short. I know that’s not necessarily fair. Especially when it comes to Game of Thrones. Each episode is like…
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…
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…
I don’t think it’s any secret that I’m partial to Great Lakes Brewing Company. Not just because it’s in Cleveland (though that doesn’t hurt) but because it’s awesome. I’m big into porters and stouts and I can’t say enough about the Edmund Fitzgerald Porter and the Blackout Stout. So this week on DrinkingCraft.com, I whip…
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…
