Slow cooker Beer and maple ham

So… I have this killer recipe where I change the taste by changing which type of beer I use. I think it’s a perfect recipe when it’s getting cold outside and you like tender meat. Another thing I like about this is that you have to use a cheap ham to do it and it yield food for an army, well unless our friend Skeet’s coming over.

Beer and maple ham

Ingredients
- 1 ham with the bone in. (Sometime, they’re so discounted its ridiculous!)
- ½ cup of maple syrup (If you cannot find maple syrup, I think molasses, honey or corn syrup would do)
- 1 beer (that is where the fun is, I usually use Guinness, but we were out of it so I used a Trois-Pistole from Unibroue)
- 1 tea spoon of dried mustard
- 1 onion chopped into chunks
- Salt and pepper

Throw everything in the slow cooker and cook on low for 10 hours. Enjoy.



I am so sorry the pictures do not show how yummy this is.

Steamed chicken on cheese and garlic pasta.

I love an easy dinner; this one was so simple you can almost make it with your eyes closed.

Steam some chicken breast, or grill or boil or fry, whatever you like.

It’s the pasta that makes it nice! Grate some strong cheese, about half a cup – I used Parmesan and cantal. 2-3 garlic cloves. A little bit of olive oil, a dash of cream, salt and pepper.

Cook the pasta, throw in the oil, the cheese, the cream, the garlic and season.

Guest Blogger - Guinness and Garlic Roast

I don’t know the ingredient for the following recipe. I came home one night and my husband had made dinner. It smelled quite good. I know there was garlic and Guinness beer involved but more than that, I couldn’t tell.

He couldn’t give me a specific recipe since he throws stuff in the pot and shoveled it in the oven. I’ll call it the Guinness and Garlic roast. It was delicious.
