Milk Stout Chocolate Chip Cookies

Milk Stout Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was reading a beer magazine recently and read that milk stout goes nicely with chocolate chips cookies; kind of like the adult version of milk and cookies. It gave me an idea… what if I put the milk stout right into the cookie batter to make milk stout chocolate chip cookies?! I started looking around online for some ideas and to see how it has been done since I am by no means a baker! I can create cooking recipes…

Lemon Poppyseed Dessert Loaf

Lemon Poppyseed Dessert Loaf

Here I go, baking again! I don’t bake much, but my neighbour recently gave me a large Ziploc bag full of poppyseeds. We are talking about the large, freezer size bag. I basically have like two pounds of poppyseeds. What is one to do with that many poppy seeds? I clearly can’t eat them all in one sitting without testing positive for opiates, so I have given some away and have been hunting down poppyseed recipes like crazy. I ended…
