A representative for Negra Modelo Beer contacted me and asked if I would like a free blogger kit that I could use to throw a party for my friends that featured Negra Modelo food pairings.

Classic Buttermilk Cornbread Recipe
Cornbread is easily one of my favorite accompaniments to barbecue or Southern cooking. It's hearty, comforting, and adds a touch of savory-sweetness to any dish. It's often one of the touchstones by which I judge any self-respecting barbecue restaurant. Unfortunately, it's shocking how many restaurants don't know how to make a good cornbread. Often, it...

Well, I was sick of my pumpkin addiction burning a hole in... Continue Reading →
