Hubby and I are trying a dry January, I think I might substitute cookies for all the calories I'm saving on beer! I used one bottle of hard cider to braise ribs and a bottle of lager in a loaf of beer bread today. Anybody have ideas to use the rest of what we have in the fridge to remove temptation for the rest of the month? I am on maintenance so I can eat a decent amount of calories...

    Haha. The lager was crap but it was good cider! I like to eat more than drink though so I'm ok with it!

    Good idea! I love onion rings, not sure about fried pickles but it would be worth trying!

    Place lean pork roast in crockpot. Pour juice off jar of sauerkraut and dump into pot. Pour bottle of beer on top and cook until pork is tender. You can make dumplings to go on top after roast is done. This is our good luck Pennsylvania Dutch receipe for New Years. Really tasty!
