Chip + Dip Pairings
I was so confused when I first saw chocolate tortilla chips! I have been familiar with Food Should Taste Good for about a year now and love many of their chip varieties, but I just couldn't wrap my head around the idea of chocolate tortilla chips. Would they taste super sweet like a dessert? Would they have a more crackery texture as opposed to the crisp corn chip texture we’re used to. Well, thankfully the answer is no to both those questi...

Peruvian Stir Fry
Let me get something out of the way here: I. LOVE. STEAK. For someone on a mostly vegetarian diet, I eat steak, like, once a year tops. So you’d better believe that when I do eat it, I make sure it’s dang delicious. My latest annual consumption of steak was in the form of this here Lomo Saltado, a.k.a. Peruvian stir fry, a.k.a. steak and veggies on top of fries on top of rice all culminating in what can only otherwise be described as the... Read More

Mini Stout Pies
In the culinary world of culinarying, there is one culinary trick that culls the nary above the rest. Cooking. With. Booze. Did your nary just flip its cull? I cook with wine at least 3 times a day, I MEAN WEEK. But I have to say, it's not that often that I crack open a beer to fulfill the liquid department in my culinary shenanigans. Dees mus chaaaange. A short while back I spotted super cute mini stout pies over on Adam and Joanne's g... Read More

Buffalo Wing Beer Bread
I will be the first to admit I am an enigma when it comes to recipes. For some, I love nothing better than to use shortcuts or prepackaged items, especially if they taste just as or nearly as good as homemade. But there are some instances where I just can’t bring myself to buy premade ingredients. Quick bread is often one of those instances. I live near the Amana Colonies, a.k.a., the land of delicious German food, cured meats, fruit... Read More

Beer Pizza Crust
I’m a pretty big fan of beer. I’m a really big fan of wine, but I’ve already put that into a pizza crust. I’ve put beer into bread before, too, but I wanted to use it in a pizza crust. Thus, this delicious (and unique) Beer Pizza Crust came to be. I’ve made quite a few versions of pizza crust before: thick, thin, square, round, buttery, olive oily, wheat, white, etc. But what makes this particular pizza crust stand out — w... Read More

Beer Tiramisu
I love beer. Though I prefer wine over beer in most cases, sometimes an ice-cold hefeweizen or oatmeal stout really hits the spot. And with summer fast approaching, beer almost always wins my heart over any other beverage on a hot, sunny day. My husband (also an avid beer drinker) and I like to buy specialty beers when we can just to see what we like. I’m not a huge fan of IPAs, but give me a coffee stout any day and I’m a happy girl. Som... Read More

Cooking with Beer
Some might call it blasphemy, but beer is fabulous in cooking. There is something about the delicious body of a good lager or stout that goes so well in everything from soup to bread. Really, absolutely, delicious. Ready to grab a bottle and try a recipe? Let's go. One of my very favorite things to do with beer is to make Beer Steamed Clams. When I was a little girl, my family used to buy clams and grill them on the charcoal gr... Read More
