Celebrate the Kentucky Derby in Style with eMeals & Woodford Reserve

Meal inspiration leader eMeals and Woodford Reserve, the official bourbon of the 146th Kentucky Derby, have made it easy to entertain this year with a simple-to-prepare “Derby Day Celebration” menu for eight that brings a touch of the Bluegrass State to you and your guests as you watch the Run for the Roses from the comfort of your couch – wherever you are.

Riders up!: Starting with a mint julep made with Woodford Reserve (of course!), the Derby Day Celebration menu features signature Kentucky dishes like Pecan Cheese Biscuits with Country Ham and Blackberry Mustard, Mini Hot Browns inspired by those served at The Brown Hotel in Louisville and Old-Fashioned Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie. The lineup also includes Pickled Shrimp and Mixed Berries with Orange Bourbon Whipped Cream, creating a spread fit for the winner’s circle. Each item can be prepared in a snap and – a bonus! – two of the dishes are infused with the bourbon you know and love.

Self-shop or online grocery: Simply select the dishes you want to make and Woodford Reserve from the eMeals mobile app, and eMeals will create a shopping list that you can use in-store at your local grocery (just look it up on your phone) or tap for pickup or delivery from Walmart, AmazonFresh, Kroger, Albertsons, Safeway, H.E.B. or the retailers served by Instacart and Shipt. It’s the fastest and easiest way to shop for everything you need for the big race.

Ready, set, go: If you’re not already an eMeals subscriber and want to do your Kentucky Derby entertaining in style, sign up for a free 14-day trial. Choose from 15 dinner plans for different eating styles (Quick and Healthy, Keto, Low Carb, 30 Minute Meals, Kid Friendly, Low Calorie, Vegetarian and more) and download eMeals’ free mobile app to access recipes, step-by-step instructions and shopping list functionality. You’ll find the Derby Day Celebration menu in the app’s Occasions Plan.

Subscriptions cost as little as $5/month and enable users to mix and match recipes from any meal plan every week. Subscribers save an average of $2,000 on their annual grocery spend because of the efficient use of ingredients in each week’s plan. The service’s ability to simplify meal planning, provide recipe variety, and save time by reducing trips to the grocery store also doubles the number of meals eaten at home, helping subscribers reap the benefits of family mealtime.
