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…
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…
I’m from Ohio. When I moved to Philly seven years ago, the words “What the hell is scrapple!?” fell out of my mouth, quickly followed by an “ew, are you kidding me!?” I fancy myself pretty open-minded about food, but a pork leftover mash-up loaf just didn’t sound appealing to me. Over the years, I…
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…
I have a knack for taking awesome healthy ingredients and making them taste good. Don’t be confused, they are no longer healthy when I am done with them. This dish is freaking amazing. It makes a lot and I didn’t get sick of eating it all week. I took a nice, healthy spaghetti squash and…
In my attempt to seem as outdated as possible, I’ve dedicated my HoboTrashcan Halloween column this year to a movie that is ten years older than myself… Young Frankenstein. I can’t help it, it doesn’t age. I’m also hoping that Gene Wilder will follow suit and doesn’t age. That’d be great. I know it’s not…
One year ago today, I posted my first recipe on Bacon and Legs. It was tasty, but not very pretty and the photography was definitely uninspired. I think I’ve come a long way throughout the past year. I’ve settled into my niche, I’ve found my voice and my recipes have improved as has my photography….
Come with me, I’ll take you where the taste of life is cheese. And everyday holds barriers to be lean. Come with me, leave your diet behind. And take a giant bite out of four kinds. I was born, July 15th, 1984. I’ll be 29 on Monday. But some say I was born in the wrong era….
To most of you, it is Memorial Day Weekend. That’s cool, I’m on board. I get an extra day off. And this recipe is good for that. It’s stupidly-easy, amazingly delicious and a great accompaniment to burgers and brats. You can throw it together, drink beer, hang with your friends, come back to it later…
I grew up on hearty, delicious, simple comfort food. To this day, my favorite foods revolve around the recipes my mom made for me when I was a kid. One of my ultimate favorites and what I always want when I’m sick is not chicken noodle soup, (cause I’m a fat kid at heart) but…
