Butternut-Ale Soup
This soup was inspired by two dishes that I enjoyed during a trip to St. Louis. The first was a hearty butternut squash at The Farmhaus , and the second was a cheddar-jalapeno soup made with Budweiser at the Anheuser-Busch brewery . I took what I found to be the best aspects of each soup and combined them. Fall is a great time for a butternut squash soup, but I thought that I could bring some beer to the party.

Cheater French Onion Soup
I am a fool for some good French onion soup. Unfortunately, most of the common restaurant fare is thin, salty and vacuous. It seems as though they just dumped some onions in some beef broth, let it reduce a little, then dish it up with a slab of bread and a glob of cheese. You might think that this recipe looks like what I just described.

Chili!
As my first recipe post I have chosen that oh so quintessential American comfort food -- chili. It's winter, and that generally means it's cold and fairly miserable outside. There is something magical about coming in from the cold and smelling that aroma of dinner slowly cooking. It's almost like an airborne appetizer. As an added bonus, you get the peace of knowing dinner is just a bowl and spoon away.
