Off To The Races! {Derby Themed Menu}

April 28, 2009 by 9 Comments

I have always wanted to throw a Derby party! Alas, the timing is just never right. But I know there are some of you out there who can pull this off! Here are some classic recipes from Southern Living to get you started. By the way, don’t you just LOVE the bar set up in the picture above?!!

You must serve the classic Mint Julep!
Those Baby Hot Browns look delicious! Anything with bacon and cheese, and I’m IN!
Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie!…..you had me at Chocolate.
Bourbon Balls…..YUM. For when you just can’t commit to a full slice of pie.

 

For more inspiration, follow me on Google+, Pinterest, and Twitter. Cheers!
