The Lovell Table

If you’ve followed me for a bit then you are most likely aware that I have a husband who loves bourbon. In fact, his love for bourbon has worn off on me. I even drink it neat now. Type bourbon into the search bar and you’ll find a few yummy recipes that involve bourbon. This one is simple and the perfect dessert to serve up this fall. Your guests will be impressed but it involves minimal effort on your part.
