all-purpose flour, bourbon, cane sugar, cider vinegar, eggs, heavy cream, pie crust, raisins, Spices, vanilla etract

My mother came from a long line of damn fine cooks.  Some cooked meat well, others were bakers.  I always think of Aunt Mary as a baker.  Though I suspect she could make a mean pot roast.  She made this pie.  It was her little bit of heaven, and it is a culinary delight to behold.  Continue reading →

Mocha-Bourbon Chewy, Fudgy Brownies

Tags

all-purpose flour, bourbon, brown sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, espresso, unsalted butter, unsweetened chocolate, vanilla extract, white sugar

Mocha-Bourbon Chewy, Fudgy BrowniesI’m a chewy, fudgy brownie-type of woman.  Cake brownies are well, just cake, really.  Brownies should be dense and moist and rich.  These brownies are all that, but they have the added bonus of coffee and bourbon.  We’ll say these are “adult” brownies…I think they’re better the next day, but they’re damn fine, just out of the oven and cooled for maybe 15 minutes, too…damn fine!

Bourbon Sweet Potatoes with Bacon-Pecan ToppingSweet potatoes or yams, I honestly don’t really know the difference.  I know there is a difference.  But, if you mash ’em up with some bourbon, top ’em with bacon and pecans and a good drizzle of maple syrup…well then, I don’t think it matters one bit.  Continue reading →
