Guinness Slow-cooked Barbecued Brisket
Anything Guinness is an obvious choice. Allow me to introduce you to the most delicious slow-cooked beef ever made. Brisket (or pot roast, if you’d rather use that cut) becomes fall-apart tender, and is completely saturated in a savory, robust broth seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic, brown sugar, and tomato. 
Cheddar Onion Beer Bread
Bits of sautéed onion dot this moist, savory bread. Truly delectable and not at all intimidating to make.
Irish Potato Leek Soup
Truly the simplest of soups.
Kale Chips
As green as the day is long. Lightly crispy and delicate, seasoned only with salt and pepper.
Rosemary Thyme Roasted Potatoes
A wee bit fancier than everyday potatoes. Aromatic and delicious.
Slow-Cooked Beef Stew
The ultimate in comfort. Beef, potatoes, and carrots and a rich gravy.
Creamy Potato and Chicken Soup
An easy, one-pot soup great for a weeknight.
Chicken Burgers with Smoky Beer Cheese Sauce
Regular ol’ burgers will never satisfy again, after you’ve eaten a burger smothered in this smoky beer cheese sauce!
Spinach Walnut Pesto
Nothing says I’M GREEN better than pesto. This spinach-walnut version is packed with nutrients, flavor, and color. Triple threat!
Oven-Roasted Potato Chips
Slice, oil, roast, and eat. Couldn’t be simpler. Or more delicious.
May your heart be light and happy, may your smile be big and wide, and may your pockets always have a coin or two inside!
