This creamy tomato soup has a delicious twist - the addition of strong, black coffee. This is the perfect summer dish for using freshly picked tomatoes from the garden.

Corn syrup and brown sugar do magical things in this simple pecan pie that bakes up rich, gooey and delicious. The filling is stirred up, poured into an uncooked pie shell, sprinkled with pecans and baked.

Kentucky Bourbon Sweet Potatoes

Submitted by: Mozelle Lanclos 
You'll be tempted to serve sweet potatoes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. These are pretty special. Sliced potatoes are doused with sugar, bourbon, vanilla and butter and then baked until the sauce is absorbed and the sweet potatoes crusty and brown.

If your not frying your green tomatoes in bacon grease then you have lost half of the great flavor! No self respecting southerner fries their green tomatoes in anything but bacon grease! 

Run For The Roses Pie III

Submitted by: Judi 
Under the rich, bourbon-infused filling is a layer of chocolate and chopped nuts that melts while it bakes and adds great texture and flavor. This pie is especially lovely when served with vanilla bean ice cream. As famous in Kentucky as the Kentucky Derby!

Chocolate Chip Pie IV

Submitted by: Glenda 
Just like a chocolate chip cookie in a pie shell, this pie is sweet, chocolaty and gooey. Flour, eggs, sugar, butter, chocolate bits, and pecans make the filling for this delightful pie that bakes in about an hour.

Mint Juleps

Submitted by: Belvedere 
Sit on the front porch in your rocking chair on a sultry afternoon and sip on one or two of these. The proper way to serve a mint julep is in a frozen silver goblet, but you can use glasses instead--just use the most elegant ones you have! You can make the syrup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for whenever the julep mood strikes you.

This recipe originally came from the Brown Hotel in Louisville, KY. I have altered it based on how I have had it served in restaurants in Louisville. This is a good way to use leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and my husband looks forward to it every year.

If you're a southern belle or gentleman at heart you have to try this one! Hot turkey over hot toast and smothered in a buttery sauce. There are two things Kentucky does right--horse racing and the hot brown. This is also great for Thanksgiving leftovers! 

Kentucky Bourbon Cake

Submitted by: Holly 
Fruit cake soaked in whiskey. Should be made a month in advance, if you can wait that long (I can't!). You'll need some cheesecloth for giving this cake its trademark bourbon wrap. 

Old Fashioned Kentucky Nut Cake

Submitted by: Gwen 
Simply walnut! I use half butter and half shortening for better flavor. Frost with a buttercream frosting.
