Creamy Shrimp and Grits

  There’s an ongoing joke that I’m a non-southern Southerner. My family is from the South and cooking wise, I tend to identify with those roots. While I’ve lived all over the U.S., I’ve only ever visited the South. So I guess I’m Southern-by-association. What’s the point of this? I love Southern cooking and Southern dishes. I…

Whiskey Bacon Popcorn Cake

As a kid, I loved having school parties. Not because the parties were overly fun, but because my mother would always make a popcorn cake. It was a gooey, sugary treat that only came out for special occasions, ie- when I wasn’t going to be at home having a sugar rush! To us, it was…

Stovetop Whiskey Bacon Cheese Sauce Recipe

I wish I could say no to this sauce. I want to say no. Because something this tasty and good is just torture. Velvety, smokey, sweet, with the perfect cheesy consistency, it clings to anything you pour it on, spirals, gnocchi, or pasta. It is important, in my book, to have a sauce that sticks….

Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Baked Bacon Recipe

There was a time, when people got together and drank a lot of whiskey at once together. That amazing time was called Beer, Bacon & Bourbon. We’ve yet to recreate such an event. (Though we have bigger and badder things on the menu.) In case you don’t remember, the first post on our party hosted at…

Maple Iced Bacon Corn Bread Cake Recipe

Do you love bacon? How about maple syrup? If you’re like me, you love anything that just reminds you of breakfast. It’s no coincidence that this bacon cake is a tad on a sweet side to balance the salty bacon bits. I’ve made this into a three mini layer cake in my smallest cast iron…

Banana Peanut Butter Muffin with Bacon Bourbon Caramel Glaze

AKA…the ‘Elvis’ or the ‘King’ Muffin. The ‘King’ would probably be reborn, just to die all over again from eating too many of these crazy delicious muffins. In thinking of how to take our Bourbon Banana Blueberry Muffin to the next level, I realized that people were putting peanut butter in muffins. Peanut butter…in a…

WhiskeyBacon Chili Recipe

While I love the summer and sunshine, the fall brings times for hoodies, tailgates, and chili. Whether curled up on a couch, throwing a few back during pregame or just because, a tasty bowl of chili is the perfect fall treat. This recipe provides a hearty heaping bowl of loveliness that will take the chill…
