Since The Goddess knows she can’t get anything by you, she’s not even going to try. You’re thinking, didn’t The Goddess post a loaf? Well, yes she did…The Roasted Butternut, Brie and Caramelized Onions en Croute. Okay, so she screwed up and reversed the order of the posts, but she not going to trash this, because it really is a delicious option. And the cooler weather seems like the perfect time for this oozy, delicious grilled cheese. Continue reading

I was reading a blog the other day, and I ran across something called Pašticada. So, what’s this about? Not being Croatian, this was new to me, but from what I was reading, this dish is a pretty big deal. For the non-Croatian palate, this may seem like an odd combination of flavors to use with beef—lemons, nutmeg, cloves, prunes and other dried fruit—all braised slowly in red wine and plum brandy.

basamic vinegar, black pepper, Dijon mustard, fresh herbs, kosher salt, lemon juice, olive oil, shallots, sriracha, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce
This isn’t exactly a salsa in the Mexican-dip-for-tortilla chips sense, but more of an uncooked, chunky thick sauce…maybe a dressing? But, no matter what you call it, it’s a nice change of pace and it’s delicious. It’s great over a steak, on a burger or even on chicken. This is just perfect for summer, when tomatoes come rolling in. Continue reading

This was the answer to The Latin Lover’s inquiry, “What are you planning for dinner?” This sort of just popped into my head. It went together quickly and had great flavor. Continue reading

For years I’ve seen Croque-Monsieur on menus and thought, “hmmm, a grilled cheese made into French toast…” Thanks, but I think I’ll pass. Then, I had this version…with béchamel…mmmm. Continue reading

I had falafel for lunch last week and I was reminded how much I love that flavor profile. I also noticed how nice and crispy the exterior was, so The Goddess, having a mind like a steel trap, thought, ‘hmmm…I wonder how a falafel mix would work for coating fish?” Continue reading

The Goddess absolutely adores condiments. At any given time, her fridge is bursting at the seams with such wonders. Relishes, chutneys, preserves, and pickles add something truly wonderful to sandwiches, a charcuterie platter, toast, meats or simply eat it with a spoon. Continue reading

Fruit relishes are a wonderful way to preserve have the summer flavors on the autumn and winter table. I love these with Thanksgiving turkey and don’t get me started on how good this relish is on a turkey sandwich. Not only that, fruit relishes are relatively easy. Continue reading

The summer always brings out my “canning and preserving” gene. I got this gene from both sides of my family and I’m so glad I did. The summer bounty offers up countless pickling opportunities. Pickled Bing Cherries are one of the best. Continue reading
