Cheesy Lemon Chicken Pasta

Description

Pecorino Romano and Parmesan give cheesy flavor to this easy lemon-chicken pasta dish that’s sure to please the whole family!

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta

1 cup frozen peas

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 (8 ounce) package button mushrooms, sliced

1/2 cup diced onion

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks

kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

1/2 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed and softened

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons lemon zest

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese

1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes, adding frozen peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking time. Drain pasta and peas, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. While the pasta is cooking, heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook until mushrooms are brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook in the same skillet over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms back to the skillet. Add cream cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest; stir until cream cheese is melted. Remove from heat. Fold in Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheeses, then parsley. Toss with pasta and peas, adding reserved cooking liquid as necessary to make a sauce.

Rabbit Hole Cavehill KSBW

Description

Louisville, Kentucky, is the home of American Distillation. In the twilight of its history, farmers of French and English descent bubbled mixtures of yeast, water and corn in handmade stills to make a new spirit: American Whiskey. Some of these pioneers took inspiration from French Brandy and aged their distillate in charred oak barrels creating what we know as bourbon today. Developing our super-premium whiskey takes time. We slowly toast our barrels over a wood-fired flame before charring, a process that takes up to 20 minutes per barrel. Toasting coaxes sugars from deep in the wood which mingle with the distillate during the aging process, giving our whiskeys unparalleled complexity and flavor. Cavehill is a testament to modern whiskey making. This bourbon gives you an array of flavors due to our signature four-grain mash of corn, malted barley, honey malted barley and malted wheat. It’s a love letter to our forefathers, showing not only how far American Whiskey has come but how it continues to grow.

Mashbill: 70% corn, 10% malted wheat, 10% malted barley, 10% honey malted barley

Proof: 95 (47.5% ABV)

Air Fryer Panko Crusted Pork Chops

Description

Time to drag out your air fryer (or invest in one if you don’t have one yet!) and prepare yourself to enjoy these juicy pork chops!

Ingredients

4 cups water, divided

2 tablespoons kosher salt

2 tablespoons white sugar

1 sprig fresh rosemary

1 large bay leaf

4 (6 ounce) pork chops, about 1/2-inch thick

1 large egg

1 cup panko bread crumbs

2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

extra-virgin olive oil cooking spray

1 sprig of fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

1 sprig of rosemary for garnish (optional)

Directions

Pour 1 cup water in a 4-cup microwave-safe measuring cup. Microwave until boiling, about 4 minutes. Stir in kosher salt and sugar, until dissolved. Add remaining 3 cups water to make a brine. Place rosemary sprig and bay leaf in a 1-gallon zip-top bag. Carefully pour in brine and add pork chops. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and refrigerate about 2 hours. Remove chops from the brine and discard the brine. Pat chops dry with paper towels. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Break egg into a shallow bowl and beat lightly. Combine panko, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning blend, and black pepper, and place on a plate or cutting board. Dip each pork chop in the egg, then coat all sides with the panko mixture. Spray both sides of the coated chops with extra-virgin olive oil. Place chops in the air fryer in a single layer, with chops not touching, and air-fry for 7 to 8 minutes per side, for a total of 14 to 16 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chops should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Serve warm, garnished with parsley and additional rosemary sprigs, if desired.

Old Forester Rye Whiskey

Description

In 1870, our founder George Garvin Brown revolutionized the industry by sealing Bourbon in a glass bottle for the first time. Five generations and nearly 150 years later, we are proud to introduce the first Kentucky Straight Rye Whisky from The First Bottled Bourbon. A historic recipe, acquired in 1940 by Owsley Brown I, Old Forester Rye benefits from a fully natural fermentation process, forgoing the need for artificial enzymes commonly found in high rye mash bills. Additionally, a generous percentage of malt yields a unique floral character, balancing the sharp, brisk spice of the rye grain. Continuing our legacy of quality and consistency, Old Forester uses its own proprietary yeast strain, produces every barrel and distills every drop. At 100 proof, Old Forester Rye plays beautifully in a cocktail but also stands up boldly on its own.

Details

Mashbill: 65% rye, 20% malted barley, 15% corn

Proof: 100 (50% ABV)

Region: Louisville, Kentucky

Color: Chestnut brown

Nose: Brown sugar, banana, floral, sassafras, candied lemon

Taste: Black pepper, general spiciness, cinnamon, dill, baked apples, mixed nuts

Finish: Allspice, peppercorns, pine, anise, lemon

Price: $25 (750ml)

Rating: 90

Orange Dreamsicle Lush

Description

Summer calls for cool and refreshing desserts… and this is one of them.

Ingredients (Cookie Base)

1 pouch (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix

Butter and egg called for on cookie mix pouch for drop cookies

1/3 cup butter, melted

Ingredients (Filling)

2 boxes (3 oz each) Jell-O® orange-flavored gelatin

1/3 cup boiling water

2 boxes (3.4 oz each) Jell-O® vanilla-flavor instant pudding & pie filling mix

2 1/2 cups cold milk

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 container (12 oz) Cool Whip frozen whipped topping, thawed

Ingredients (Decoration)

1/2 cup canned mandarin orange segments, drained

Directions

Heat oven to 375°F. Make and bake drop cookies as directed on pouch. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. In food processor, process half of the cookies to coarse crumbs. Remove to medium bowl. Continue to process remaining cookies to coarse crumbs; add to bowl. Stir in melted butter until well blended. In ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, press cookie crumb mixture firmly in bottom. Set aside. In small bowl, place gelatin, and add boiling water; beat with whisk until blended. Stir occasionally about 2 minutes or until mostly dissolved. In medium bowl, beat dry pudding mixes and milk with whisk about 2 minutes or until thick. Stir in dissolved gelatin. Let stand 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. In large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, scraping down side of bowl frequently. Beat in 2 cups of the whipped topping. Spread over cookie crust. Pour pudding mixture over cream cheese layer; spread evenly over top. Drop remaining whipped topping by spoonfuls over pudding layer; carefully spread until even. Refrigerate 5 hours. When ready to serve, sprinkle orange segments on top. Cut into 6 rows by 3 rows. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pieces.

Tequila Sunrise

Ingredients

2 ounces (4 tablespoons) tequila

4 ounces (1/2 cup) orange juice

3/4 ounce (1-1/2 tablespoons) grenadine syrup (purchased or homemade)

Ice (try our clear ice!)

For the garnish: Cocktail cherry, orange slice

Directions (Cocktail)

Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour in the tequila and orange juice and stir. Pour the grenadine into center of the drink and it will sink to the bottom. Stir gently for sunrise gradient effect. Garnish with an orange slice and cocktail cherry. This drink is sweetly straightforward. If you are a fan of sour cocktails, add a squeeze of lime to add more of a tart flavor. A dash of orange liqueur like Cointreau can give it a little more complexity. You can also make a Tequila Sunset by substituting blackberry brandy for the grenadine. Make the drink with vodka for a Vodka Sunset, or try a Malibu Sunset using Malibu Coconut Rum. Here’s the key to how to make a good tequila sunrise: buy a good tequila! A cocktail is only as good as the alcohol you use. Look for a mid-price range tequila, since the price is typically an indicator of quality. You can use either tequila blanco (“new or not aged) or tequila reposado (aged) in this cocktail recipe. Since it’s a pretty straightforward beachy drink, we went with tequila blanco here. But, it would be even more interesting with tequila reposado: it adds subtle notes of vanilla and oak.
