Editor’s Note: This recipe ran on July 31, 2014 on DrinkingCraft.com. This dish has been designed to be an uncommon flavor experience. Belgian beer, dill pickles and peanut satay sauce aren’t exactly commonly found together. But the combination of the three are out of this world. But… I have a little secret. I was really hoping…
Editor’s Note: Below is the column as it appeared on DrinkingCraft.com. Attention apartment dwellers, busy people and lovers of pork! With warm weather typically comes grilling. But marinating meat and cooking it over a flame, carefully watching and attentively prodding it isn’t always feasible. For those moments, you need a recipe for a nice and easy…
There are a few things that people consider “summer foods” or perfect for picnics and barbecues that my family has completely mastered. They make these foods so well, mind you, that we now also make them for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, President’s Day… whenever we get the excuse. The first recipe is my mom’s baked beans….
Sometimes I get a little touchy about a subject and I let it come through in my writing. This is one of those times. I write a column for DrinkingCraft.com which is much less punchy than what you read here. This week’s may have had a tiny bit of punch to it. I created a…
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…
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…
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…
Wings are wings. They are relatively easy to make and you can get them at any bar or pizza joint. Not these wings. These wings are fall-off-the-bone juicy, jam packed with flavor, then have MORE flavor shoved on top. You think what makes them special is that they are coated in BBQ potato chips, right?…
