Category Archives: Recipes 2013 is flying by. I am not sure how it is almost the end of May! Before you know it spring will have flown by and it will be summer! In honor of spring being at its peak, Sally came up with this Primavera Pasta Salad. Influenced by the traditional Pasta Primavera, this pasta salad…
 A hot meatball sandwich is one of those comfort foods that is hard to turn down. They are a great weeknight dinner entrée or weekend entertaining appetizer. Sally and I think that they were made for tailgating! The beauty of the meatball sandwich is that it can serve any size appetite! You can cut your…
 This vibrant yellow and green fruity salsa can be consumed in a variety of ways. You can eat it by itself with a spoon or chips, or it can be the topping to a grilled chicken or fish sandwich. Spooned onto the top of a cheese quesadilla and served with a cold beer makes it…
 Do you like BLT’s ? There is just something about thick salty bacon, juicy tomato slices and crisp green lettuce that works. The best BLT that I have ever had was in Chapel Hill, NC. This salad is a great side dish for a Spring Picnic, Summer BBQ, or Fall Tailgate. Pack the tomatoes in…
 A great mother is something that you can never take for granted. I am very fortunate that I get to work with my mom, Sally James, on a daily basis. The time that we have spent working on Taylor Takes A Taste, on assignments for commercial clients, and The Southern Tailgating Cookbook is something that…
 Welcome to May the 6th, also known as the day after Cinco de Mayo. If you hosted a party yesterday, I am sure that you have a surplus of Tecate, Corona or Dos Equis sitting around your house. What to do with this extra beer? Drink them is the obvious answer, but why go with…
 Hooray for Friday! The most natural use for an infused spirit is in a cocktail. Sally has taken one of her favorite cocktails and given it an apricot twist. The sweetness of the apricot, sour of the lemon, and boldness of the bourbon make it a great cocktail to unwind with and enjoy the beautiful…
 Remember the Apricot Bourbon from a few weeks ago? By now your bourbon and apricots have had plenty of time to infuse together. You are left with two products: a bourbon that has a pleasant, sweet and subtle taste of apricots and dried apricots that are filled with bourbon. Don’t throw away this infused fruit….
 Infused liquors have a wide variety of uses that I will share with you next week while I am on vacation ( more about that on Friday). The infusion takes a few days to mature, so begin your infusion this week. Infusing is not magic. A cheap bourbon that you don’t enjoy drinking will not…
 The Madness of March has come and gone. This weekend is the Final Four! Either Louisville, Wichita State, Syracuse, or Michigan will walk away Monday night with a national title. I picked Louisville to win it all in my bracket, but being a Big 10 alumnus, I find myself looking for a win from the…
 If your bracket is now busted, the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 rounds of the tournament are an excuse to hang out with your friends. The second weekend of the tournament is made for eating, drinking, and watching as those remaining contenders in your bracket pool cheer with joy or curse their now busted…
 It’s that time of year again. Welcome to March Madness! Other than college football in the fall, this is my favorite time of year to be a sports fan. Today and tomorrow the field of 64 teams will be narrowed down to 32. After the weekend, there will only be 16 teams left. A week…
