Here's a nice simple salad dressing that you can use on a cobb salad, or a potato salad, using one of my favorite beers from Muskoka Cottage Brewery.


1 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 lb bacon cooked and crumbled 
1/2 raw red onion
1/2 cup Muskoka Cream Ale
2 tablespoons mayo
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
pinch salt
ground white pepper to taste
2 teaspoons (kozliks) dijon mustard
splash of hot sauce

Cook and crumble the bacon, slice the onion and set aside/ ,
in a seperate bowl combine the liquid and powdered ingredients, and whisk until the beers flattens out.

Crumble cheese, bacon and onion mixture over your favorite potato salad or cobb salad and drizzle the beer dressing over top of the entire thing.

this dressing should not be made to far in advance it's truly rocking when served super fresh!

Ketchup-Catsup-Recipe.jpgIf your panties are always in a bunch about how much salt and corn syrup is in your everyday food, why don't you cowboy up and make your own ketchup? It's really not that hard, and if you have an excess of tomatoes this season, making your own ketchup would be a nice conversation piece next winter when you are eating mac and cheese.

camerons_logo.jpgHere's a quick a dirty recipe for brine similar to my Turkey Brine recipe using Cameron's Auburn Ale. This is the brine I used to make BBQ chicken wings at the Royal Ontario Fair. Recipe after the Jump.



ourBeerAll_04.jpgIn honor of my invitation to cook for the Cameron's Let's drink the cask night this coming Thursday May 29th, I've formulated a BBQ sauce using the Cameron's Dark 266 Beer. This beer has lots of character and I was able to pretty much throw the kitchen sink at it in and still be able to pick it out in a rich bbq sauce. After a few failed experiments I think I've got a winner here, note to self.. habaneros are HOT! and not to to handled without rubber gloves.This recipe is based on a Mexican Mole sauce so it's got chocolate and lots of kick. Recipe after the jump.

Now that the spring season is upon us, I'm consuming more green things, as they are local, fresh and plentiful. A few of my favorite greens to eat are fiddle heads, grilled asparagus and brussel sprouts. We all know how great green veggies can be with a little butter, garlic and pepper, so why not kick things up a notch and make a sauce for them to swim in?  Use that side burner on your Q if you have it! Oh.. and in case you were wondering, the "Dragon" part of this recipe come from  the Tarragon, which is sometimes called Dragon-wort.  Recipe after the Jump
