Kentucky Chocolate Chip Pie

Kentucky Derby-Style Bourbon Chocolate Walnut Pie Recipe
I lost my original recipe for this so I found this one online. You can make it with walnuts or pecans and you can leave out the bourbon or substitute with Brandy... You really don't want to leave it out!

Kentucky bourbon chocolate walnut pie is traditionally served at the annual Kentucky Derby Horse race. This pie recipe is similar to the Melrose Inn's famous version which has been served at the race for over 50 years.

Comfort Food Collard Greens

Dad had fresh collard greens in his garden so I tried my hand at cooking them for the first time. Lizzie said Jason had told her the secret was to cook them with Coca Cola, so I tried that.

Ingredientss:
Collards, cleaned and cut up, including the tender part of the stems
1 12 oz Coke
Salt and pepper to taste
2 thick pieces of bacon

Sauté the bacon , add collards to the pan along with half or more of the coke; cover and cook on medium heat. As the greens cook add more cola. I used the whole can.
Cook until tender. About 45 minutes.
