Party Panache, Kentucky Derby Ideas

Do you watch the Kentucky Derby, usually on the first Saturday in May?

Last year it was moved from May to Labor Day

and we had a lot of Derby Day fun at our Delayed Derby Party

This year it’s May 1, a mere 2 weeks away

I’m not sure if we are going to have a gathering

due to the boys’ hectic baseball and soccer schedule…

but, here are potential food ideas~

Whether you’re having a gathering or it’s just one or two,

Make it fun!

Wear a fancy hat and much on Southern favorites

Pimiento cheese, pecans, ham, chicken, biscuits…

and instead of a sit down meal

I like to serve appetizers so everyone can mix, mingle and graze

Ham & Cheese Biscuit Volcanoes

Maple Bourbon Bacon Jam & Pimiento Cheese Crostini with Praline Pecans

Hissy Fit Dip

Loaded Bourbon Bleu Cheese Stuffed Potato Skins

Brown Sugar Bacon Chicken Bundles

Strawberry, Pecan and Pimiento Cheese Ring

Dixie Mac & Cheese Poppers

Zucchini Parmesan Ribbons

BBQ Pork Cupcakes with Coleslaw Icing and Crispy Onions

Sweet Home Alabama Pecan Cake

Pecan Pie Danish

Kentucky Derby Pecan Delights

Mint Cookies & Cream Dessert in a Jar

Here are the horses names for 2021~

which one catches your eye?

I always pick the winner, not by the odds, but by the name

This year there are so many that I like…

Highly Motivated, Soup and Sandwich ~

and watch out for the one rated last

Keepmeinmind!
