Caramelized Peach & Bourbon Cobbler

Besides Dolly Parton and Lynyrd Skynyrd, two of the best things to ever come out of the South, have to be peaches and bourbon.  It's no secret I love bourbon, so when I was creating this recipe and wanted to give it a bump in flavor I naturally reached for the bourbon bottle.

I'll also confess, the caramelized peaches was a happy accident; I turned my back a little too long when the peaches were cooking. When I smelled the sugar start to caramelize I knew I had a winner. 

Needless to say I would serve it with a little bourbon on the side, and of course Lynyrd Skynyrd's Gimmie Three Steps should be playing in the background! 

Horchata

 

For those who've had horchata (or-CHA-ta) you know how good this creamy drink is at cooling the spicy heat of peppers. For those who've never tried it, you're in for a treat. 

Grilled Panzanella (Bread Salad)

Tired of the same old side dishes?  If you've never heard of it, let me introduce you to Panzanella. And if you have had it, let me introduce you to a fun new way of making it. 

For those of you who don't know Panzanella, the easiest way to describe it is a stale bread and vegetable salad.  Sounds appetizing doesn't it?  Well, if you make it right it can be one of the best salads you'll ever have. 

I love Panzanella for a number of reasons.  Of course it's a great way to use leftover bread but that's not what makes this dish special.  The beauty of this salad is to use the best ingredients you have available and then not do a whole lot with them. 

Margarita Pork Tenderloin

It's one of the leanest cuts of pork you can get, it can be prepared for both casual and upscale dinners and it's pretty economical (translation, it's often on sale), so what's not to love about grilled pork tenderloin?   Well, if you're not careful there are plenty of reasons it can go wrong. 

How to Make Limoncello

In this day and age where 30-minute recipes rule, will anyone be interested in one that takes 3 months to make? What if I promised you that it would only take about 15 minutes of actual hands-on time?

Rosemary Beef and Tomato Kabobs

Skewering the beef and tomatoes on rosemary sprigs is a great way to add a pop of flavor, plus it makes a great looking skewer.  If you don’t have rosemary simply thread on wood or metal skewers.
