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 adore cooking! It comforts me, hey, even more then eating it. I can cut loose and make a pizza. I can tighten up, fly right and make chicken cordon bleu. I can just be lazy and make fetticini alfredo. I love being free to decide for myself. Probably my greatest influence was my grandmother. As she use to say "never trust a skinny cook". She was instumental in my experimenting with different sauces for main dishes.

Cajun Style Meatloaf

Reviewed on Oct. 11, 2008 by jvfalcon
My boyfriend and I just made this for the first time. We used tabasco and found it a little spicy and next time will try a milder pepper sauce. This is replacing our plain old boring meatloaf. We absolutely love this recipe!

Italian Tomato Pasta Salad

Reviewed on Oct. 8, 2008 by Rachel
I thought the angel pasta was great with the tomatoes, but didn't like the Italian dressing. Next time will just use olive oil instead. Other than that, pretty good.

Vegetable Quesadillas

Reviewed on Oct. 7, 2008 by KY Piano Teacher
This recipe has become a family favorite with a few changes and a couple of chortcuts. I use 1 zucchini, 1 package of frozen peppers and onions blend (I found these at Kroger and use them for everything) and 1 small package of sliced, fresh mushrooms, and some frozen corn. I also use the Mrs Dash garlic and onion blend to season the veggies. I cook the frozen veggies and zucchini first, then add mushrooms and seasoning. The best cheese to use for this is called quesadilla cheese. It's got great flavor and melts well. Even the kids love these.
