| We're the Saucy Sisters! |
What do you get when you mix Chablis and Zinfandel? The Saucy Sisters!
Barbara is as blond and provocative as a bottle of Chablis. But please don’t confuse this Chablis with cheap swill and big jugs. She hates being misunderstood.
Beverly has the hot ‘n spicy temperament of a bold, red Zinfandel and sometimes the hair color to match. She shares an aura of mystery with her vinous counterpart.
And we're here to spread the word that, when it comes to wine, food and party-planning, girls just wanna have fun. No pretension. No anxiety. Just a good time. We hope our Saucy Site will help you do just that.
Cheers!
Barbara and Beverly |
| We're Number One! |
We have lots to celebrate...including the fact that our radio show Sauced! became the highest rated Sunday show on WLAC 1510 in Nashville.

Beverly was featured on two billboards as a result of winning the Nashville Opera "Be on a Billboard" Contest. |
| Steve's Alabama Slammer |
Our wine and cocktail expert Steve Prati from Cool Springs Wines & Spirits in Franklin, Tennessee used to bartend at the Cheers bar in Boston. He gave us this old favorite from those days.

| Recipe of the Week: Mac & Cheese |
Catherine Mayhew, author of HandyMom’s Guide to Grilling, brought this incredible Mac & Cheese to our show last Sunday. We LOVE guests who bring edible gifts to the studio! If you had seen us chowing down, you would have recognized us for the gluttons we are. Thank goodness it’s radio.
Catherine is at work on her next cookbook about Meat & Threes. (If you live anywhere near Nashville, you know what these are.) It’ll include this decadent recipe.
Macaroni and Cheese
1 pound elbow macaroni
6 eggs
1 stick of butter, melted
3 cups half and half, divided
¾ cup Velveeta cheese, cut in small cubes
3 cups sharp Cheddar cheese, grated and divided
¾ cup mozzarella cheese, grated
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
½ cup Swiss cheese, grated
½ cup Monterey Jack cheese, grated
½ cup Muenster cheese, grated
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare macaroni according to package directions, cooking until al dente (approximately 10 minutes).
Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Add 1 ½ cup half and half, melted butter and Velveeta. Pour warm macaroni on top and mix well until cheese is melted and completely incorporated. Add the remaining half and half, 2 ½ cups of the sharp Cheddar and all the other ingredients. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13 inch dish and bake for 30 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and continue baking until cheese is melted and turning brown, about 15 minutes. (When a toothpick inserted in the macaroni and cheese comes out clean, it’s done).
Serves 10-12.
