Salted Chocolate Brownie Cookies with Porter

05.11.15

Do you say brownies? Or chocolate brownies? Is the latter redundant? I’ve always said brownies, but in this recipe, I think it’s worth emphasizing the chocolate.

The concept for this recipe came to be on a Friday, shortly after 5 o’clock. It happened in the Tasting Room around the second post-work shift pint with co-workers.

Bourbon Sweet Potato Casserole with Black Pepper Marshmallows, Bacon, and Pecans

11.24.14

Growing up, my absolute favorite Thanksgiving dish was sweet potato casserole. I loved the cut sweet potatoes from a Princella can mixed with brown sugar and crushed pineapple and topped with a golden brown and gooey blanket of melted marshmallows. It was a sugar bomb and I couldn’t get enough. These days, sweet potato casserole […]
