Rosemary and Vanilla Bourbon Spiked Nuts

These rosemary and vanilla spiked nuts are a great snack and would make a nice homemade edible gift for the holidays.

I think I’ll try making my next batch with some chipotle powder to spice things up a bit!…

Bourbon Baked Chicken Thighs

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Thighs > Boobs. Chicken thighs, come on you guys! Okay, okay… I love some crispy chicken skin and these bourbon baked chicken thighs are delish!

Boozy Maple Bourbon Marshmallows

I love me a good Old Fashioned drink, and so these boozy, adulty marshmallows were born. Bourbon is kinda my jam right now. And by kinda, I mean I’m literally bourboning ALL the things lately… I made bourbon baked chicken thighs, rosemary and vanilla bourbon spiked nuts, and these boozy maple bourbon marshmallows.

Next, I added the bourbon to the mixing bowl while the marshmallows were whipping. Big mistake. The taste was there, but they totally fell flat and wouldn’t whip. Finally, my friend Nichole told me I should bloom the gelatin IN the bourbon. DUH! These came out PERFECT!…
