What do you do when a boy leaves cheap beer in your fridge? You make beer bread! (kind of a lemons, lemonade situation?) I used a super simple and quick recipe that I found online and tweaked it a bit, threw it in a bread pan and baked it for 40 min! So easy and gets rid of that beer I'm never going to drink. But it also made me wonder if using a fruit-based beer (like blueberry beer) would … [Read more...]

Cupcakes, and bread, and cheesecake, oh my! It's been a busy week without internet in my house...and what am I supposed to do without internet? Yep, bake. So I made the chocolate cake batter from Rose's Heavenly Cakes (the German Chocolate Cake recipe) and the egg yolk-based buttercream frosting.
