talk derby to me.

this year, i brought the kentucky derby to indianapolis.
i had a little gathering of my nearest and dearest that live here
and we celebrated this kentucky tradition.

for the big day i cooked like a kentucky girl.
meaning i used 3 sticks of butter.
i kid you not...

first on the list was kentucky hot browns!
recipe found here.
not for the weak at heart.
or those close to heart attacks.
but delicious!

second, i made grits casserole!
i personally love grits but know tons of people don't.
however, this casserole got eaten up!
recipe found here.

and of course, what derby party would be complete without mint juleps.
these were soooo tasty.
and i had too many...
but so delicious!
recipe found here.

go, baby, go!
