Coffee-Rubbed Smoked Beef Brisket
Forgive me if I geek out during this Coffee-Rubbed Smoked Brisket post. Not only is this succulent brisket straightforward and ambitious, but the coffee rub is also made with ingredients you already have in your pantry. That’s exciting, no? MY excitement comes from the fact that I love discussing anything that deals with butchery. It is probably the course…

This version of curd is sure to become a favorite of your entire family. This curd is a favorite treat of my…
King Cake with Cinnamon and Cream Cheese Fillings
Mardi Gras season is in full swing, and, as a result, people are clamoring for all things labeled “King Cake.” As always, I’m here to serve.

Classic Hot Toddy with Whiskey
A friend of mine DM’d me on Instagram and asked me if I had a good recipe for a Classic Hot Toddy. I didn’t have one on the blog- yet- but figured I should. Of course, every recipe has to be tested and re-tested to ensure maximum satisfaction, so I had to do some research before…
