I don’t think it’s any secret that I’m a fan of beer. So I don’t think it should come to a big surprise to any of you that I’m going to be doing a lot more cooking with beer. What IS a fun surprise is that I’m going to be writing recipes for DrinkingCraft.com! It’s…
I type this as I look out the window on snow covered trees and big beautiful flakes falling to the ground. Faintly, outside, I hear my neighbor spinning his tires trying to get out of the driveway. It’s beautiful. No, seriously. I fucking love winter. Here it is, February and people are complaining that the…
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is baking lots and drinking beer. Or at least that’s how I do it, because believe-you-me, you do not want to hear me sing Christmas carols. One of my favorite holiday movies is Elf. Instant classic. Yeah, I went there. It’s heartwarming and adorable with funny moments and…
One thing that was always a huge hit in my home growing up was “puppy chow”… also known as Muddy Buddies. Basically, Chex cereal covered in peanut butter, chocolate and powdered sugar. A super simple recipe that’s always a hit. In order to advance it a little, I decided it needed a little salty flavor,…
Editor’s Note: Below is the column as it appeared on HoboTrashcan.com. I don’t know why this movie is so god damned polarizing. But I guess that’s because I’m completely on one side of the argument. I love A Christmas Story. It puts me in the mood for the holidays every year. Not that it takes much for…

I really love pumpkin bread and pumpkin muffins. They are pretty decent, yeah? But do you know what makes them orgasmic? Adding chocolate chips. Seriously, try it. Don’t even get fancy about it. Go to Trader Joe’s, buy a box of the pumpkin bread mix and when you make it, dump in half a bag…
As many of you know, and some of you may not, I’ve been writing a weekly column for a fabulous pop culture site, HoboTrashcan.com. I’ve only been working with them since May of this year, but together, we’ve made some beautiful pop culture themed wonders. But I’m like a baby to this site, because Joel…
I grew up on hearty, delicious, simple comfort food. To this day, my favorite foods revolve around the recipes my mom made for me when I was a kid. One of my ultimate favorites and what I always want when I’m sick is not chicken noodle soup, (cause I’m a fat kid at heart) but…
That’s it. I’m officially screwed. I’ll never lose weight again. You guys should actually NOT make this recipe. It’s a time bomb. You’ll just want to make it over and over and over again until you die. (I’m really good at promoting myself.) Pulled Pork and Muenster Grilled Cheese Sandwich 2 slices Texas toast 1/3 cup…
