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…

Sculpin Carnitas
Sculpin Tacos Getting a little tired of that holiday ham and pumpkin pie? Let’s spike our insulin with something different as we move away from the holiday and look towards the new year. Victory at Sea Peppermint Cupcakes were the first eats from Ballast Point and, considering my love for the brewery and the lack of…
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…
Electrostatic Mac and Cheese
More Cheese I loved the idea of a hoppy beer contrasting with the savory flavors of mac and cheese and I have accomplished said juxtaposition when I made Red Rocket Mac and Cheese. It is time again to return to the cheesy noodles sans powdered cheese. This time around, rather than focussing on contrasting hoppy…
Milk Stout Coffee Cake
Bisquick Baking is fun, but it sometimes can be daunting waiting for yeast to rise. My impatience leads me to make more quick breads and Bisquick recipes. One Bisquick recipe that I keep on hand is a Bisquick coffee cake recipe. This recipe is great for breakfast meals where you don’t mind spiking your insulin…

This bread will be somewhat plain as it is intended to be dried out and used for stuffing. However, I’m sure you can find some interesting uses for the bread outside of stuffing. Conclusion…
Krušovice Trdelník
Bidding Farewell to Bohemia It was a good month of Czech style bottom-fermented lagers. But now we are back in the States and ready to begin baking again. But before returning to a typical beer bread recipe, I decided to romanticize once more about the Czech Republic. If you ever find yourself tired of wondering…
Maui Chocolate Coconut Beer Bread
Aloha Beer Bread After experiencing the best of what eastern Europe has to offer, it is no surprise that an enormous leap must be made in ingredients. A man can only handle bottom-fermented lagers for so long before he craves the dark, thick and creamy (grow up). When the parental units decided to make a…
Kozel Světlý Braised Pork Knuckle
Experience from the Source Upon my return from the Czech Republic, the one thing I would bring back is a good beer-induced recipe that would make your American panties wet. I believe I have found a recipe that embodies the flavors of the Czech Republic with the beer-braised Pork Knuckle. My first experience came from…
