Revolver Brewing

Last weekend I went to Revolver Brewing in Granbury, TX for a friend of mine’s birthday. She was turning 28 and wanted to celebrate with good beer! Sounded good to me..

The brewery was so much fun. We were able to enjoy wonderful beers that we haven’t had before, as well as the ones we have had. But that was fine with us since Revolver's Blood and Honey is so gooooood!

You pay only $10 for four decent sized samples of the brews on tap, you get to keep the sweet little pint glass with the Revolver logo on the front, listen to good music and get a guided tour of the brewery.

I have to say that the hour’s drive out there was well worth it but I was slightly disappointed that there were no food trucks. Although, there was a small setup of chili dogs, fajitas and Frito chili pies to hold over the hungry group for $5 a plate.

It was our first time out there so we didn’t know that you could bring your own food and chairs. Next time we’ll know!

The crowd was loud, fun and growing as the time went by. The more the people were drinking, the more fun they were having with the games of corn hole.

This place isn’t only for adults. There were children running around and playing games of hide and go seek. The open field sat next to an area with horses, so there were many visits to pet them.

People brought their dogs and kept them on a leash. It was just a nice little spot to go with friends and family. A place out of the city and into the country.

After I left the brewery, I stopped at the grocery store to buy a six pack of Revolver’s Blood and Honey. I made chicken enchiladas with guacamole and chips. The beer went so well with the flavors. It was sweet and spicy with hints of citrus.

Seems like I can’t get away from the brewery scene around here. I’m okay with that.

Here is a little video I made for my experience at Revolver. I really had a wonderful time here and the people that work/volunteer couldn’t have been any nicer.

Have you been to any breweries? Which one is your favorite?

Tuesday Night Chicken

Family dinners are important around here. 

We celebrate every holiday together which gives us great excuses to use the new recipes we have been wanting to try!

But, having dinner with the family doesn't require a calendar to be marked for a special occasion. Sometimes, we get together just to enjoy the company and catch up. Telling stories of work, school, goals, etc.

This past Tuesday, I offered to make dinner for my Mema and Uncle Red. He meets my Mema every Tuesday and they get to eat dinner together; whether it be at Mema's house or a local restaurant. This is their time to spend together as mother and son.

Well, Mema doesn't enjoy cooking so much lately because she gets tired and worn out. Cooking is exhausting for her, which means more often than not, the two eat out.

Now, I know my family....  We like to eat home-cooked meals. So, I offered to make them a home- cooked meal in exchange for a seat at the dinner table. It was a deal!

I made them the baked rosemary-garlic chicken with lemon that I made for my dinner party. I also made a side of pasta and marinara with mushrooms.

Y'all, this chicken is such an easy and simple meal. The chicken comes out juicy and tender with a great crispy coating. The rosemary and garlic brings a depth of flavor that remind you of Fall and the lemon freshens the whole dish up and makes you think of Spring, (which will hopefully come soon!)

Pair this chicken with a side of pasta and/or veggies. It doesn't get any easier than this.

I would like to express the importance of seasoning your food as you go. In other words, when you have your line up of flour, beaten egg and Panko bread crumbs, season each of these components with salt and pepper. This will ensure that the chicken is well-seasoned and not lacking in flavor.

It was so nice to eat with my family this past Tuesday. It is important to make time for your family even if it's just for a couple hours. These are the moments you will remember later in life. :)

What kind of stories does you family tell around the dinner table?
