I am not the kind of girl who dreads birthdays, even as I enter my mid late 20s. After all, it is not every day you can frolic around in a birthday crown soaking in the sweet, sweet attention. Which is why I have a normal tiara for the other 364 days of the year. Kidding, sort of. When I celebrated turning 25 for the 4th time this past January 27th, the day was nothing short of fantastic. Good friends, good times, and the icing on the cake? I won a deep fryer. Only in Texas. I know, I can smell your jealously from here. Don’t worry, there will be sufganiyot in your future, but for today I am taking a little break from traditional Jewish cooking to make some treats for the Super Bowl (read: cupcakes and fried pickles).
But not just any cupcakes. No sir. Chocolate Stout Cupcakes from everyone’s favorite resident Food Network Hottie McHot Jewish chef extraordinaire, Dave Lieberman. Meow! If that doesn’t make this recipe blog worthy, I don’t know what does.

Aw Bubbe, Jew are too kind. I am the lucky one!
Those cupcakes are so cute!!!! I wish I would have had time to make some for my brother-he adores Green Bay….Did you like the beer batter?
Thanks, Gloria! I did actually- the beer made the cupcakes super moist and fluffy. And they weren’t too sweet, which was a nice compliment to the sweet cream cheese frosting.

[…] After a few weeks of delving into Asian goodies here and here, I am back with a kosher goodie for Jew! February 8th marks Tu B’Shvat- aka the New Year of the Trees. It’s not the most important Jew holiday out there by any means (hello Rosh Hashannah!) More of a Jew style Arbor Day. But it is all about celebrating the importance of trees, and who doesn’t like tress? It is also when the almond trees begin to blossom in Israel, so what better way to celebrate than with a tasty almond salad? Sold! The perfect way to recover from all your Super Bowl indulgences. […]
