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….
Banana Pudding Whiskey Cupcakes
Here in the South, banana puddin’ (or pudding, if you’re fancy) is the nectar of the gods. If you go to any legit meat and three, it is expected that this will one of your 3 veggies. It totally counts, and you’d be a fool to not follow the tradition. Since I sometime don’t feel…
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,…
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…
Boozy Root Beer Whiskey Cream Floats
I’m starting to have those twitches in anticipation of Spring. I’ve had absolutely enough of this cold, snowy mess. What I haven’t had enough of is cold, messy drinks. Any excuse to pour whiskey and root beer and more whiskey over ice cream is a good excuse to me. In anticipation for the upcoming Super Bowl…
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…
Vanilla Bourbon Sipper
Cherry here, cherry there, cherries errrrrywhere! Tis’ the season here in Tennessee. Every single market around town is packed full of rosy, bold, bubbly picks that are just screaming to be transformed into something delicious. I can’t walk by a table without grabbing a bunch. It’s almost like they are just whispering my name like some…
