Hi, I’m Chrissie! (I’m on the left if you had issues figuring that out). I introduced myself to you two years ago when I wrote my first post on Off the Eaten Path. At the time, I was new to the Queen City, had lived in Plaza Midwood for less than six months, and needed …
Do you know the key to juicy, delicious brats? Start them in a beer bath before finishing them on the grill! My dad, a Wisconsin native and brat expert and aficionado, shares the recipe for the best beer boiled brats. Three day weekends are my jam. Memorial Day weekend is especially exciting because it’s the …
(See what I did there. Changed the recipe series name from “supper” to “sipper.” Aren’t I clever?”) Who’s got the hooch, baby? Does anyone else remember Everything’s 1998 hit? I was 11 and in the 5th grade (or maybe 6th grade) and rocked out to that song on the daily. There’s a connection between this …
We’ve slammed the pedal to the metal in Charlotte and are speeding right into Spring (fingers crossed with no looking back).

Does anyone else miss football too? Yes, yes, yes I know baseball is coming. With the end of football means spring. I like baseball. I like spring. But I think the most wonderful time of the year is crisp fall mornings spent around a grill with a beer in my hand. The electric, contagious energy of a football …

Happy Game Day! You betcha I’ll be cheering for the Packers today in the NFC Championship. Finger crossed Aaron Rodgers’ calf holds out for 60 minutes this afternoon and our defense shows up to play today to shut down Russell Wilson and the Seahawks (confession: I also love Russell Wilson because he’s a badger). While we …
