From Hot Browns to Hat Boxes: A Stylish Derby Day at Hillside Farm

Grab your fanciest hat and a tall glass of iced tea—Homeworthy is heading back to Hillside Farm! In this special episode, host Ruth McKeaney invites us to her home for a festive and elegant Kentucky Derby-themed celebration.

It’s Ruth’s first time throwing a party like this, so she’s enlisted the help of three dear friends to bring the traditions and charm of Derby Day to life. We start with Leslie, a master gardener, who shows us how she created a show-stopping table centerpiece inspired by the iconic "Run for the Roses." Then, we step into the kitchen with Heather, where she and Ruth whip up Southern favorites like banana cream pudding, classic hot brown sandwiches, pimento cheese dip, and refreshing iced tea.

The fun continues as Ruth’s friend Amy arrives, bringing with her a fabulous collection of hats perfect for any Derby celebration. A costume design aficionado, Amy shares styling tips and helps the ladies find the perfect toppers for the occasion.
