The Hot Brown is an open-faced sandwich of turkey breast or turkey breast and ham and bacon, covered in creamy Mornay sauce and baked or broiled until the bread is crisp and the sauce begins to brown. Covered in Cheddar Cheese sauce. This is my Mom's recipe which includes mushrooms.

Scrambled eggs are the most popular preparation of eggs at least in our family. We think of the eggs as a perfect canvas, a place to discover new flavors and experiment. So why not add Pimento Cheese to eggs, it the perfect match. Serve with Buttermilk Biscuits and Broadbent bacon, you will not be disappointed.

Mr. Henry Bain made this sauce famous. He served as a waiter at the legendary Pendennis Club in Louisville KY for over 40 years and wanted to give his guests the perfect accompaniment to their meal. Henry Bain’s sauce is a the perfect addition to beef tenderloin, delicious served over cream cheese and crackers, or on a hamburger. A tasty Kentucky tradition.

Paloma’s are best served when grapefruit is at it peak in the winter months. My twist on the traditional drink will make you want winter to last just a little longer.

Made with Castle & Key Vodka, Maple Syrup and Grapefruit Bitters for that unexpected twist.

When citrus season is at its peak I make sure and take full advantage of the flavor. The blood orange has the sweetness of an orange that has been infused with tangy red grapefruit with hints of tart cherries and raspberries. Combine that with the elements of a Margarita and you have an especially delicious cocktail no matter what the season.

Making sugar cookies with my girls is one of my favorite activities. As small children and even today the three of us has so much fun baking and decorating the cookies.

The easiest and most perfect bite to make when entertaining friends and family. This simple appetizer will be the hit of your next party.

A perfect bite.

When I start to think about developing an appetizer recipe I go right for what can go on a crostini. The crisp bread is a perfect vehicle to deliver tasty bites of goodness. Crostini’s are easy for guests to manage too. The combinations are endless and I like both savory and sweet. The Fig & Pecan crostini is the perfect combination of both of these flavors. A great fall appetizer to serve at tailgate parties or around the fire with your favorite cocktail.

Infuse your favorite bottle of Pinot Noir wine with bourbon, add fruit for an easy Bourbon Sangria recipe.

Spending time with my Mom in her Kentucky kitchen or having her help me cook when she would visit my family is one of my most fond memories spent together. She loved cooking from the pages of Southern Living Magazine and when I started my own home she gave me a subscription to the magazine that I still enjoy today.

Her potato salad recipe is simple has just a few ingredients, I have added Broadbent Ham bacon to make it extra special, they are a Kentucky company that has the most delicious country ham and bacon. This potato salad is best served with fried chicken or right out of the mixing bowl.

Fruit breads are perfect all year around and blueberry is my favorite. Bursting with flavor, this recipe makes a perfect addition to your brunch buffet. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or grab a slice for a perfect late night snack with a cold glass of milk.

Iced Tea is a Southern staple so why not add my favorite Kentucky spirit for a perfect cocktail when entertaining friends. The limoncello adds the familiar, fresh, lemon flavor but with a twist.

Buttermilk Ranch dressings brings me back to my childhood table in Kentucky. My recipe calls for dried herbs but you can substitute with fresh herbs from your garden as well. Make sure to use buttermilk, a Southern staple for the extra richness that it imparts to the recipe.

Mediterranean flavors are some of my favorites and at the top of the list is the gyro pita. I can find the sliced meat at Trader Joes but I do not want to have to depend on having it in our freezer when I have a craving my favorite flavors.

Out of that craving the gyro meatball was created and has become a family favorite.

Gin & Tonic with a curious twist.

My husband Steve is a big fan of gin and tonics, especially in the summer. My friend Toni loves gin too and has recently introduced me to some unique flavor profiles that are on the market. You know I am a Kentucky bourbon girl but I am always up for a new cocktail. Recently I have been making cocktails with elderflower liqueur, I love the fruit, herb and spice profiles it add to a drink. What I love most of all is experimenting with flavors, the combination of gin, elderberry and grapefruit is perfect for a refreshing cocktail to enjoy during the hot summer nights. Cheers.
