The Derby is almost here! Are you ready?
Check out the LiveRideLearn podcast this week for two episodes to help you prepare. In a Derby Week Deep Dive I gave, in very general terms, how these horses qualify and what it’s like to be there – whether it’s the cheap seats or the best seats in the house. In Derby Fever!!! What to eat, drink, and how to pick a winner, you’ll learn what I consider to be the two must have Derby foods, as well as how to make a mint julep and of course, pick a winner.
Chocolate, pecan & bourbon pie
Ok this is what is normally called Derby pie, but someone owns that name. I tried to find the link and the web site no longer exists, so I’m going to type it up. This is not my recipe. Some amazing other person created this and I so appreciate her.
