That’s right, y’all! It’s that time of year again. DERBY TIME! — You can’t be from Kentucky without completely shutting down for the entire week of the Derby. Spending all of your time with juleps and friends is mandatory. Last year, I shared 4 different takes on the Classic Mint Julep with varieties including Rose, Mango, and…

Raspberry Habanero Margarita
You may have noticed that I’ve been on this sweet and spicy kick lately. I used to be one of those anti-spicy people, but have slowly started enjoying it in the right situations. Pretty sure I have Nashville hot chicken to blame for that. When I was asked to toss in a margarita recipe for…
Weekend of Bites & Brews in Louisville
I’m a homebody, y’all. Most weekends (or days, really), I’d rather keep my flannel pajamas on at home than deal with going anywhere. Maybe that’s why I bake so much. I can just sit in my little kitchen, with my cats, and make cookies and go to bed. That is a successful day to me….
Champagne Onion Rings
SPRING is here, y’all! I know I’ve been whiny and complaining about the nasty cold weather, rainy whatever, so I’m here to celebrate the 80 degree days that we have been having in Nashville by popping a few bottles into my glass as well as the fryer. Why not, right? Around here, you can fry just…
Bourbon Glazed Burger
Beef and bourbon. Two southern staples that are held completely sacred around here. Put them together you say? Why, I think I just might! — A solid burger is probably my choice for my last meal (with killer fries, of course). I’ve been on a kick of grinding cuts of meat myself at home for…
Mexican Hot Chocolate + Tequila Whipped Cream
If hot chocolate is a great way to warm up during the colder months, hot chocolate with tequila-infused whipped cream is an even better mug to cuddle up to. I’m taking a simple homemade hot chocolate recipe and adding some simple spices to make the perfect sipping Mexican-inspired cocoa. Who knew you could toss your favorite spirits…

While all of y’all are on these diets and whatnot, I’m sitting over here drinkin’ my juice. Turns out that when I am stuck at home (because all of my friends are eating kale and spinach…
Cranberry Lemon Drop Martini
Christmas time is heeeeere. Bringing lots of boozy cheer. — All I need now is a spotlight, a piano, and a nice holiday cocktail to start the show. Taking a cranberry twist to the lemon favorite, this Cranberry Lemon Drop Martini is the perfect holiday companion for the season. There really isn’t much to the perfect…
Fig Bourbon Caramel Gelato
This little figgy went to the market…. this little figgy ended up in gelato! You’ve probably noticed that I have a new found love for all things fig. I recently posted a recipe for Fig Mille-Feuille, and now I’m mixing it up in some homemade gelato. Yes. It is fall/pre-winter. Yes. I am still eating…
Frozen El Diablo Cocktail
This post brought to you by Altos Tequila. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Southern FATTY. I’ve been on this mission lately at home in the Fatty test kitchen. I decided that I should try and venture out into the more unknown for some new recipes. Y’all that have been following along…
