Do you ever go out to a restaurant or event and try a dish or drink that you just have to recreate at home? I find myself in that situation pretty often. It’s a great excuse to have an extra nightcap. You kn0w… for research sake. After tasting a unique margarita while browsing around Nashville in…

Julep Week: Meyer Lemon Julep
After having a little bit of a spicy sip for Cinco de Derby yesterday with our Mango Jalapeño Julep, I thought it would be good to take thing a bit over to the tart side of life. We’re taking beautifully sweet and citrus Meyer lemons, and squeezing them into a delightfully fresh julep for Kentucky Oaks…
World’s Best Brussels Sprouts
It may surprise all of you that I was never the kid that just begged for more greens on my plate. I would qualify a couple (literally) green beans as having my share of vegetables that I was required. Logically, I still think I was in the right. I still prefer a plate of monotoned…
Brown Sugar Cinnamon Whiskey Cream Eclairs
Chocolate and eclairs go together like…. well… whiskey and Nashville. Luckily, you aren’t going to have to choose one or the other for this treat. You can have your eclair and drink a little bit, too! *happy dance* We’re teaming up with a Southern favorite of mine, Jackson Morgan Southern Cream, to infuse a little…

Monster Peep Cookies
So, Easter is now over and you (may) have piles of candy left. Let’s be honest… you probably don’t. But, imagine that you do. Maybe a few extra Homemade Peeps that you made last week after our post? If, like me, you have zero candy left (and only an upset stomach left to show),…
Leprechaun Patties
Arrrrr! Wait… Tee Hee! I’m not quite sure what noise a leprechaun makes, but whatever it is will be exactly the sound that you will be making after trying these delicious cookie sandwiches. A bit of Baileys will perfectly accent the dark, sweetened chocolate sablé cookies with a smooth, creamy mint filling between. I’ll…
Christmas Tree Snack Cakes
Happy Holidays! —– Tiny green sprinkles falling… Fluffy sweet fillings flowing… Peppermint-colored drizzles bouncing. It’s Christmas time! What could that possibly mean more than boxes and boxes and boxes of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes®?! These have been around since the 1960s, made still by a family-owned business right here in Tennessee! I wait all year for these…
