Louisville, Kentucky

Louisville is known for baseball bats, beautiful magnolia trees, the Kentucky Derby, and for being the hometown of Muhammad Ali. Its name pays homage to French King Louis XVI, who assisted the colonists during the American Revolution. Louisville is also the birthplace of several original dishes. Henry Bain sauce, named after its inventor, the head waiter at Louisville's Pendennis Club, is a sweet, tangy, spicy concoction best served with wild game or beef tenderloin. The Hot Brown sandwich was created by the chef of Louisville’s Brown Hotel. It’s an open-faced sandwich topped with turkey, tomato, bacon, and cheese sauce, and then broiled until the cheese sauce turns golden brown. Besides fast horses, the Kentucky Derby is also renowned for popularizing the refreshing mint julep cocktail (made with Kentucky bourbon and fresh mint leaves).

About me:
 I am a 28 year old mother of two who is a passionate cook. I buy into Emeril's motto (not "Pork fat rules"!) that "It's a food of love thing", because I put love into everything I cook, and judging by the responses I receive from anyone who partakes of my food, it shows! I am also a grass-roots caterer, just getting my foot in the door, but I know that when my catering business, Shekinah Glory Catering Co., takes off, it will TAKE OFF.......

Holiday Chicken Salad

Reviewed on jul. 2, 2009 by ilovetosparkle 
I used red seedless grapes cut in half in place of the dried cranberries - my fiancé says this is award-winning chicken salad!

Baked Green Tomatoes

Reviewed on jul. 2, 2009 by LouisvilleHugger 
After baking them for 20 min I broiled them for 7 min on each side. Still came out flimsy but the flavor was really good. I sprinkled dill weed, pepper, and onion powder on each side of the tomato and then coated them with a thin layer of cornmeal mixed with the same three spices. TASTY! Next time I will let them sit longer under the broiler. It's a really nice change from fried tomatoes and to be honest, I don't think I will ever fry them again. We have started to grow our own tomatoes and I would hate to have them doused in oil.

Jimmbo's Garlic Knots

Reviewed on jun. 26, 2009 by MARYJC21 
This recipe is awesome! The only thing wrong with the recipe is that it calls for way too much fresh garlic. I shook off the excess garlic from knots and they were really good. I used dried parm in the can it seemed to work better than fresh parm would. The next time I make these, I will reduce the fresh garlic to only 1-2 teaspoons. I will add garlic powder. I used fresh parsley to this and it is a really pretty presentation. Definitely try these!
