Not a very sexy title, is that? I was going to call it “The Tale of Two Coils” but, I decided a straight-forward, actual description was the way to go. So here we are. And it’s a pretty delicious place to be. This is my basic, go to roll dough recipe, but with options! Continue reading

When autumn arrives, so do apples and pears. In abundance. Today, The Goddess is focusing on apples. The varieties of older and new apples has positively exploded. And that’s a delicious thing. This salad is very close to a Waldorf Salad. But, of course, The Goddess made a couple of changes. This graces our Thanksgiving table almost every year. Continue reading

I think I’ve mentioned a couple of times (or twenty), that The Goddess has a fondness for eggplant. The season is in full swing now, so you might imagine that eggplant is finding it’s way into, onto, around, under, etc. her table. She’s been hasselbacking things recently, and why should eggplant escape her vision? Continue reading

I love the idea of eggplant parmesan. But, the problem for me has always been the breading. It’s just too much. It overpowers the flavor of the eggplant and I like that flavor. So when I saw Grilled Eggplant Parmesan on the Food & Wine website, my light bulb lit right up! Continue reading

Okay, so this should really be called “Cheese-Herb” Quick Bread, because there’s way more cheese than herb. But, I think the herbs are much more of a forward flavor, than the cheese…whatever you call it, doesn’t matter. Just make it… Continue reading

This was breakfast today! What can I say? The Goddess tends toward leftovers for breakfast and rarely does she do breakfast-type food. This was a surprisingly fabulous combination. Continue reading

You know, The Goddess has mentioned now and then how much she enjoys condiments…Okay, she tends to go on bit about them. And with good reason. Compound or flavored butters are condiments, too. And this is one of the best. Continue reading

I’m calling this a schmear. But, you can call it whatever your little heart desires…a dip, a spread, a condiment…you get the picture. If you enjoy dill pickles, you’re going to love this. It is THE perfect “special sauce” to schmear on a burger! Think about it…. Continue reading

Sweet potatoes are a nice change of pace and they shouldn’t be relegated to being served as just a Thanksgiving side dish. And savory is the way to go, as sweet potatoes are sweet enough…you know, like The Goddess! Continue reading

I love Boursin™ cheese, and I make a pretty decent facsimile, Almost Boursin Cheese Spread (Almost!) in a previous post. So anyway, I was sitting, sipping and musing. Goddesses do that sometimes. You should try it. The things one thinks up…and this was one of those things. Continue reading
