We love watching the Kentucky Derby every May. Below are many of my favorite recipes for the Kentucky Derby weekend, so pull out your hats and pimento cheese and enjoy your little gathering!
I’m so excited to share many of my favorite Kentucky Derby recipes in preparation for next weekend’s race.


We love watching the Kentucky Derby. If you’ve been reading for a while, you know that Eddie is a huge fan. Maybe it’s his favorite day of the year.
I love being able to make some fun snacks at home and enjoy them for a minute or so until the race starts. Ha! No, but really, it’s a fun little micro-holiday (that’s what I call it) that we get weirdly excited about and enjoy.
and! If you own The Pretty Dish, you know that the entire Derby Day menu is on there. There are lots of sweets and it’s a lot of fun. I have a lot of recipes on this blog, so I thought I’d share them with you for those who will be joining us for the May 4th celebration next Saturday.
