Victory at Sea Peppermint Cupcakes
Peppermint Phase I have a sweet tooth and it is looking to bite down on some peppermint patties. It’s a weird phase which I have never experienced before. A box of Jr. Mints last less than one minute around me. It’s confusing and scary and unhealthy and… I’m going to continue feeding this addiction. Very convenient…

Red Rocket Beer Mac and Cheese
The Hoppy Bear Comes into Play Finally I made some mac and cheese a couple of months ago and loved it. The only regret I had was that I didn’t add beer to the mix. I grew up with a great disdain for mac and cheese, mainly because of Easy Mac. I have too much…

Punkin Around: French Toast With Punkin Ale White Bread
Punkin Around with Old Bread It is that time of the week where old bread is starting to get stale. So naturally, I cooked with. I am a firm believer in using everything if possible. Last week, I made some Punkin Ale White Bread. Subtle in pumpkin flavor, I think this bread would make great…
Punkin Around: Punkin Bread
The Time Has Come October is here. It is that time of year where the weather is still in the nineties, your air conditioner doesn’t have to be on until 3pm, and the pool is still an option. Clearly autumn in Southern California is an anomaly compared to most of the world during this time….
