Kentucky Derby

The 141st Kentucky Derby will be held Saturday, May 2, and any good Southerner knows that Derby Day means one thing: PARTY TIME. I'm here to help take your celebration to the next level with my favorite Derby treats. Check it out, y'all!

Celebrate the Kentucky Derby with your family! The Children's Hands On Museum of Tuscaloosa has a day of activities planned tomorrow that will be fun for the entire family!

Derby Day is tomorrow, and you can't celebrate without a good Mint Julep. Over 120,000 of these bad boys will be served up at Churchill Downs this weekend, most of them in awesome Derby collectible glasses. I can't make it to Louisville this year to get an official Mint Julep, but nothing is stopping me from making them at home!

We're celebrating Derby Week; so far we've covered Country Ham Biscuits and Derby Pie. Today is all about the Kentucky Hot Brown.

It ain't Derby week until I make and eat Derby Pie. What is Derby Pie? Why am I addicted to it? Why is it a legal obligation for any and all Derby parties? Details after the jump...

Derby week is upon us. I lived in the Bluegrass State for 10 years, and I still celebrate. You should, too. I mean, who DOESN'T need a license to party all week long? I'll share some recipes leading up to the Run for the Roses to make sure your Derby Party is boss. We'll start with Country Ham Biscuits.

The Kentucky Derby is Saturday. and the week leading up to the Run for the Roses is one big party in the Bluegrass State. Let's kick off this week's festivities with Dolly and her pony. Obviously it's not a real pony: I can't afford one, and horses kind of freak me out...
