I’m ho ho home for the holidays and basically surviving on everything peppermint for the rest of the year. Growing up, we would go to my grandmother’s house for Christmas every year. One thing was on my mind during those trips (other than presents, obv). Peppermint ice cream. Do you remember the type? Litte bits…

Bananas Foster Bourbon Bundt Cakes
Say that three times fast…. after eating some of this glaze icing. How often do you all find yourself sitting around the house in your adult-fit onesie, watching YouTube recordings of early seasons of The Great British Bake Off, an Old Fashioned in hand, thinking of new blog recipe ideas? That’s a regular Saturday morning…
Southern Summer Slammer Cocktail
Can we just all sit down on the front porch and chat for a moment? It is HAWT out, y’all.Nothing beats the heat better than the coldest of cocktails. Even with the heat, you can’t have a great summer without some patio time with friends. I’m whipping up a twist on a sweet southern favorite,…
Bourbon Stuffed French Toast
Ya, ya. I know, y’all. It’s bourbon overload over here on the blog. I thought about holding onto this one for a bit, since I just recently posted Bourbon Glazed Burgers (SO good for summer BBQ season) and have a million and one other bourbon recipes already up on the blog. But then the little…
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….
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…
Sparkling Sweet Bourbon Cocktail
This post brought to you by Sparkling Ice Essence Of. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Southern FATTY. 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…
Whiskey Cream Caramel Popcorn
I’ve grown up in Kentucky, and lived in Tennessee for 6 years now. During that time, as you could imagine, I’ve been surrounded by the world’s best whiskey and bourbon. No complaints here. It’s a pretty great thing to have around. When you end up with tons of something, you start to try and create new,…
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…
Julep Week: Rose Julep
It’s the run for the roses over here at the Kentucky Derby today! While I will certainly be drinking my fair share of juleps for you all at Churchill Downs, you can make a run for your very own kitchen with our tribute julep for todays Julep Week cocktail. A bit of rose water infused…
