Twice in the last week, I've had the opportunity to grab food and drink at Decca Restaurant in downtown Louisville. I'll be honest- for some reason, Decca was never a place I took the initiative to visit on my own. Instead, I've only ever visited at the invitation of someone else. ...
Pecan and Molasses Bundt Cake
I love the flavor of molasses. That dark, smokey almost-honey harkens memories of sitting at my grandparents’ breakfast table on Sunday mornings. My grandpa would mix his Sorghum- he pronounced it SARgum- with butter to spread on his breakfast biscuits, and it seemed like the smell would fill ...
On the Cheese Plate
It's 5pm, you're headed home from the office, and know that tonight, you're either eating leftover meatloaf or ordering pizza. All is well with both options, until a girlfriend reaches out and wants to grab a glass of wine, or you remember you're hosting book club, or your boyfriend calls and ...
Benedictine
Benedictine…. Mention it to most people outside the Louisville area and chances are they’ll have no clue what you’re talking about. Here, though? We’re familiar with the rich, somewhat salty, somewhat sweet spread that makes even something as simple as a water cracker or a ...
My Mint Julep
As I type, it's 1am, and I'm propped up in bed in my NYC hotel, stuffed full of greasy, New York-style pizza and cheesecake. Not my typical Oaks night!! Still, I can't help but think that tomorrow (or today, if you're an early-Derby-eve-party-pooper-outer) is the Kentucky Derby! My ...
Dinner at Gemini Chicago
If you've been following along on my Instagram or Facebook, you'll know that while the man and I were in Chicago last week, we managed to eat our way silly! From brunch at Hashbrowns and Siena Tavern, afternoon tea at The Allis at Soho House, to family dinner Friday night at Carmine's, we're ...
Chicago Eats
Each Chicago trip, we make a point to branch out a bit, try a few places we've never been before. We test fun cocktails, visit the buzzed-about new hot spot. We do, however, have our standard, go-to resturants and bars that just lend the feeling of being at home. We hit the road ...
Chocolate and Pistachio Tart
Easter seems to be one of those holidays where there's a bit of pressure put on the host. Its the first big gathering day of Spring, the first reminder of the tulips we planted last year, and the first opportunity to host a sweet dinner, to be thankful for your friends, to swoop out of the ...
Butternut Squash Pie
As soon as the weather begins to cool, my food cravings change. During summer months, it's completely normal for me- and everyone else, I'm sure- to want watermelon for dessert, canteloupe and proscuitto salads, shrimp cocktail and BBQ... For most folks, it seems they look forward to the ...
