Gooey Peach Cobbler
The Spanish brought peaches to Texas in the sixteenth century, when they planted trees at their missions. Texas is one of the leading peach producers in the country. The Strawberry-Rhubarb Filling can replace the peach filling. It, too, is delicious.

Alabama White Barbecue Sauce
This is a finishing sauce which should be applied at the last moments of cooking or it will break down. It’s great for dipping wings also! It’s usually just called Alabama White Sauce. Alabama White Barbecue Sauce was invented in 1925 by Robert ‘Big Bob’ Gibson at Big Bob Gibson’s Bar-B-Q restaurant, in Decatur, Alabama. Don’t let this mixture’s appearance stop you from trying what is a delicious marinade, basting sauce and serving sauce.

It may have originated in the South, but this tea is beloved by all Americans. It’s our favorite summertime drink…well, perhaps in addition to lemonade.

Kentucky Hot Brown
The Kentucky Hot Brown, an open-face sandwich, originated at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, early in the 1900s. There are as many versions of the dish as there are cooks who make it. This is my favorite as it uses both turkey and ham. Use more bacon if you would like more than one slice on each sandwich. You can skip the 1/4 cup cheese over the tomatoes, if desired. We think it adds a nice extra touch. If you skip this step, just remove from the oven after 10 minutes and lay the tomato slices and bacon on top of the sandwich.
