Bake or No Bake I have been experimenting with no bake chocolate bars for some time now. However, a few weeks ago was the first time a shared a no bake recipe with Green Flash Cosmic Ristretto chocolate bites. The reasoning behind this is that I wasn’t sure if adding few drops of craft beer…
American Ales
Tart Of Darkness Jam
Sour Jam As summer comes to an end I reflect back on how there was a lack of cool refreshing lagers and ales. Rather, this has been the summer of sours. As a person who enjoys slicing a lime and eating plain, I enjoy the mouth-puckering effect that comes sours bring to the face. Although…
w00tstout Beer Bread 2016
High End When creating my first w00tstout beer bread, my one qualm with the beer was its price. A $13 beer in 2014 seemed outrageous to me. Now in 2016, it is common place. The Bruery’s Tart of Darkness, which happens to be my current favorite sour beer, sells for $18 on average. But it…
Cosmic Ristretto Chocolate Bites
Nostalgia and Acid You can taste the acid in Green Flash’s Cosmic Ristretto. The Baltic porter reminds me of coffee. I thrive for that acidic flavor, even at the sake of having some intense acid reflux. Bad behaviors aside, it got me wanting to make more coffee flavored dishes. Stone Mocha IPA cupcakes is just…
Mocha IPA Cupcakes
Whenever developing websites, like this one for example, you tend to work where can. I tend to work where there is an abundance of internet.

Double Stout S’more Cupcakes
Have you ever felt like you might have diabetes simply from staring at food? That is how I feel everytime I visit Lindsay’s website, the creator of Life Love and Sugar. Not only are her recipes beautiful, but they are sledgehammer made of sugar to the face. And not the this-is-so-sugary-my-mouth-hurts kind of a way….
Enjoy By Independence Day Carnitas
Freedom Comes in the Form of a Taco I have a problem living in the moment. My life exists in the form of fear of the future and shame of the past. The present moment seems to not matter. The only time the present matters is when I’m either staring at fatty animal protein nestled…
Big Bear Black Cupcakes
The Bear Returns Cupcakes are good. I like cupcakes. But I have been using butter as my main source of fat in the latest cupcakes recipes. This recipe, I want to move back to oil. Sweet delicious oil. The beer for the this recipe is a stout from Bear Republic Brewing Co. We will be…
Wolf Among Weeds Cheesy Beer Bread
Cheesy Hops I was recently up at Griffith park last weekend and I regret not making a stop at Golden Road Brewery. To make it up to myself, I decided to make a beer bread with Golden Road’s Wolf Among Weeds IPA. Now, in the past I have tried IPA and hoppy beers as ingredients…
Witch’s Hair Butter Rolls
New Year, New Recipes A new year is upon us. It is time for all our energy to be put into new years resolutions only to be more stressed than ever (the key is to make small goals). 2015 is the year of beer bread. As the first recipe of year, we must go back…
