Breading and Baking I am a big fan of coconut oil and fats. Maybe a little too much. Pan frying is my thing. But when a fourteen fluid ounce jar of oil is half devoured after a week of purchase, it is time to take a break from frying and start baking. Okra and cod has been…

Chateau Jiahu Grapefruit Cupcakes
Cupcakes Made With Ancient Beer A couple weeks back, I discussed Beerology and the history of home brewing. In fact they are still open and are even hosting a Bierfest of their own. In the exhibit, they explained the process of making what is considered the first brewed beer. Over ten thousand years ago in…
Dead Red Ale Bread
Seasonal Beers are Upon Us! It is that time of the year where seasonal beers begin to pop up. For the next couple of months we will have pumpkin spiced everything shoved down our faces, and I myself will enjoy every moment of it. In the next few weeks, I plan on creating various pumpkin breads…

Voodoo Doughnut Pretzel, Raspberry & Chocolate Ale Beer Bread
