Sunday at the Masters is a big day at our house
HH and HHjr are avid golfers and inherited the cherished tickets from HH’s father
they love to go for the first few days of the tournament,
but always come back before the last day
We gather around the TV to watch as the final round unfolds and the winner is given the coveted “Green Jacket”
The Masters Golf Tournament is one of the South’s grand traditions and if you are lucky enough to go, you will see this humble menu featuring simple Southern favorites
Not only does the menu never change, the prices don’t either!
I have done several posts about the Masters, highlighting Southern favorites, like Pimiento Cheese, but this year I am sharing ways to update some of the simple Masters menu selections
Instead of the predictable BBQ sandwich of pulled pork on a bun how about
Instead of a traditional club sandwich, try
or
Update a Chicken Sandwich by topping it with coleslaw
This chicken is coated with potato chips and baked instead of fried
Picnic Sliders with White BBQ Slaw
Instead of the same old boring ham & cheese sandwich,
how about
Ham & Swiss Spirals with Mustard Poppy Seed Butter
Sausage biscuits are good, but you can make them much better!
Try this do ahead casserole and be prepared receive compliments
Instead of an Arnold Palmer, a popular drink made with ice tea and lemonade, have a “Firefly” cocktail…it’s made with Sweet Tea Vodka and lemonade…it’s delicious!
or try this cake or cupcakes, you can use sweet tea instead of sweet tea vodka if you prefer
Sweet Tea Lemon Poke Cake or Sweet Tea Lemonade Cupcakes
The Georgia peach ice cream sandwich with sugar cookies is very popular at the Masters, but it is only one of endless variations that can be made with different ice cream and cookie flavors
I like to use small cookies, and make small sandwiches and roll the edges in chopped nuts or sprinkles.
Try chocolate mint chip ice cream and chocolate wafers
Chocolate chip cookies with butter pecan ice cream
Peanut butter cookies with chocolate fudge swirl ice cream
You can buy the cookies if you don’t want to make them, I like to use Tate’s, they are thin and crispy
Endless Possibilities!
You can make them in advance, wrap, and keep them in the freezer until right before serving
Enjoy the flavors of the Masters any time you want!

Tate’s cookies are available on line at Amazon here, Thrive Market here, Tate’s Bake Shop here . They are also available at many grocery stores, Publix, The Fresh Market, Target, World Market, so check your local stores
