Julep Week continues here on Southern Fatty with a tribute to Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de Derby, y’all! Jalapeño-infused simple syrup replaces the traditional bar spoon of sugar for this spicy and sweet twist. I’m not usually big on spicy, but this has the perfect bite that’s balanced with the sweet tartness of the…
Julep Week: Classic Southern Mint Julep
Annnnnd they’re off! — Spring in the air, bourbon in the glasses, tulips and red roses around the winning horses. It’s Derby time down here in the South, y’all. This is when all of the stops come out. Pastels for days, hats to the clouds. You know what I’m talking about. It’s the most exciting 2…
Chicken Pot Pie for One
Do y’all ever have those moments when you have to make dinner, but can’t don’t want to get up from binge watching Chopped/Grey’s Anatomy/Top Chef/House of Cards/OITNB? Story. of. my. life. I’ve got y’all covered on this one. I’m sharing my favorite dinner-for-one recipe– Chicken Pot Pie for One. I’m sure none of you know…
Blackberry Lavender Cream Paletas
Summer time, and the livin’ is eaaaasyyyy. If there is anything that says “Hey, Summer! Let’s do this!“, it’s a popsicle. I’ve come a long way with my pop-making repertoire since pulling those long plastic sticks from the freezer (or drinking them before they were frozen, if we’re honest with each other) as a kid….
Limoncello Candied Lemon Zest
I’m a total citrus addict. I was (and still am) that kid that would pound Starburst like it was my job. I’d pick citrus sweets over chocolate any day (sorry ’bout it, choc-o-holics).Not much has changed since the days of obsessively eating Skittles and Fruit Stripe gum. Moving forward a few years, I found myself sitting…

Nothing says warmer weather is coming more than Key Lime. Tart, intense flavor to send you straight onto an imaginary island beach when you are really just seated on your outdoor patio area with friend’s, complaining about having to return to work because tomorrow is Monday. It’s exactly what you need to kick the weekend off with…
Rotisserie Chicken BBQ Flatbread
Spring has arrived. Y’all know what that means… It’s grillin’ time! I am totally one of those people that try to fire up the grill all year long. At some point, because Nashville has some crazy up and down weather stuff going on, I just have to give in and pull out the grill pan instead inside…

A quick and easy recipe that will give you the crispiest baked wedges that you’ve ever had. The secret is quite literally in…
Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches
I’m pretty sure that in another life, I was a Mexican street food stand. Tacos, tortas, churros. Any of the road-side favs, really. I recently found an area of Nashville that has the absolute best tiny truck tacos in town. Also, they are like a dollar a piece. A DOLLAR, Y’ALL. Forget the fancy-pants hipster joints…
Chicken Tinga Tacos with Mango
Taco Tuesday… Taco Wednesday… Taco Thursday. Tacos errrrryday! My go-to simple meal when I am too tired (lazy) to put much effort into dinner is to pull out the tortillas. It’s ridiculous how quickly you can whip together some delicious tacos and be back on the couch ready to pass out in just minutes. Recently,…
