Happy June to everybody!
I can’t even believe we’re on the 6th month of the year already — the 6th month I’ve lived in California!
This week’s cookbook is actually from a blogger I love. Jackie Dodd — aka The Beeroness — has a blog I’m always genuinely excited to see show up in my Bloglovin’ feed. I randomly discovered she had written a cookbook, and since I had an Amazon gift card, burning a hole in my pocket, I bought it immediately.
(Note: I wasn’t paid or anything to say how awesome Jackie is or how much I love her blog, although once, she favorited a tweet I posted about one of these recipes.)
I had no idea how extensive the world of beer is, and I’m still not convinced I used the right kind of beer (except in the case of Wednesday’s recipe, but I’ll get to that). I thought that Trader Joe’s would have any kind of beer I’d ever need for any of these recipes. Spoiler alert: There is more to life and beer than Trader Joe’s.
If you’re not a huge fan of beer, I promise, the taste isn’t overpowering. I imagine, though, that instead of beer, if you’re really opposed to it, you could use beef broth or chicken broth or something. But just trust me on the beer.
