May was filled with so many yummy recipes; Fennel & Tomato Italian Vinaigrette Salad, Peanut Butter Cookies with Crushed Oreos, Bread & Butter Pickle Buttermilk Biscuits, Southern Cheese Spread Tea Party Biscuits, Warm Roasted Carrot & Pea Chipotle Salad, Chocolate Chip Ice Cream with Crushed Oreos, Grilled Steak with Guajillo Pepper Chimichurri, and Sweet Strawberry Biscuit-Topped Pie. Didn’t I tell you there were some good recipes?
Surprisingly though, none of them was my favorite recipe. Instead, I chose these Deviled Eggs with Bacon & Bourbon Glaze. It should really come as no surprise, after all, y’all know just how much I adore a trashed-up deviled egg. Especially one that not only includes bacon but also bourbon. It’s simply impossible for a southern girl like me to resist this particular winning combination, so why should I even bother trying? I hope you’ll enjoy these deviled eggs just as much as I did.
