Years ago, when The Goddess was a mere imp, she found a recipe for pears with bleu cheese, all dressed up with a vinaigrette. It was heavenly. This plays off that delicious memory. Continue reading

Eggs, flour, milk and cheese, cheese, cheese! What’s not to love? It goes together in a flash, into the oven and wait…it’s the longest 30 minutes you may ever spend! Continue reading

I don’t know about you, but The Latin Lover and The Goddess seem to like to begin their weekend with pizza. Sure, we can get take-out. It’s good. Sometimes it’s even great pizza, but you can make your own and it isn’t that difficult. Really. It isn’t. Continue reading

With flu season upon us with a vengeance, I thought this was a good time of year to make a brothy, vegetable soup. There are a few beans tossed in, but they were more of an afterthought. This soup is all about vegetables, is slightly salty and will warm you to your bones. Continue reading

You know I adore eggplant. I don’t think I’ve ever met an eggplant dish I didn’t love. I’ve been thinking about stuffed eggplant, so I decided that today was the day. I was heading down the vegetarian path, adding lentils to give us that meaty texture. Then, I took another path…. Continue reading

I’ve always liked the idea of tuna melts. I really do, but you know, sometimes when you heat canned tuna, it develops an unpleasant fishy taste. The Goddess hates fishy. The Latin Lover hates fishy. But, I’m happy to tell you, this works well. It’s quick to fix and doesn’t heat up the kitchen, when the temperature outside soars…and it’s delicious. Continue reading

This rice is along the line of the everyday rice many Mexican cooks prepare. And it’s good. It’s really delicious. But, it’s so much more, because once you capture the basic, there are so many, many different flavor roads to travel down. Think of this as just the beginning of your culinary journey.

Caramelized onions….mmmmm…a little sweet, a little sour, and just plain yummy. The apple butter, with its hint of cinnamon, the saltiness of the feta and the crispness of the bacon juxtaposed against the creaminess of the caramelized onions, makes for a perfect “storm” of flavor! Continue reading

So, I posted Simple Tomato Soup the other day, and I realized I’ve never really posted a grilled cheese recipe. Now, really…who needs a recipe for grilled cheese? I suspect no one does, but I’m giving you one anyway. Okay, it’s not really a recipe but more of a process, because everyone should be able to make The Perfect Grilled Cheese! Continue reading

Eggs are a part of our culinary life-blood. They are the perfect food. Eggs were the first food of The Progeny and they continue to be a favorite. The Spicy Honey loves a fried egg sandwich and he loves this one. It has a crispy cheese collar. What’s not to love? Continue reading
