You know how The Goddess is always going on about leftovers, right? Well, she decided that it might be helpful, if she posted some of the things she does with her leftovers. This Chicken Salad uses leftover Cumin-Garlic-Lime Chicken with Honey. Continue reading

Small meatballs are a great tapa. This is a really nice blend to form into patties for breakfast sausages, either with or without the mustard-cream sauce…though, you know…it’s all about the sauce! Or it should be. Continue reading

It’s spring. Finally! I did think it might not arrive. And with spring comes fiddleheads, ramps, asparagus, and strawberries. I was in the local supermarket and they had a sample of a goat cheese salad with roasted strawberries. It was good, but the strawberries were, shall we say, lacking…it’s a texture thing. But I liked the idea of roasted strawberries, so I decided to make a vinaigrette with them. Continue reading

This is one of those lovely concoctions that’s so refreshing you want to eat the whole bowl yourself (don’t think I haven’t done that once or twice!). It is as beautiful as it is delicious, and nutritious, too. What’s not to love? Continue reading

This is one of those little sweethearts-of-a-recipe. It’s fast, easy and just supremely delicious. It’s good warm or at room temperature. I plop them on top of salads, serve them on the side of a grilled pork, chicken or salmon, or smear them on some nice toast with a bit of brie. Continue reading

Apple butter is autumn in a jar. I love it spread on toast, or along side slices of pork. It’s comforting and just plain, delicious. But, it can be quite a bit of work, and you know The Goddess is one lazy…uh, well, Goddess. So, she came up with this version and she’s happy to report, it’s delicious. Continue reading

I’ve been thinking about Indian food recently. Obsessing really. This is what usually sends me off on a recipe search. Picture The Goddess, crawling in camo through her jungle of cookbooks and the Inter”Webs”, in search of ideas. That’s an image, isn’t it? In this case, there wasn’t really a search. It just sort of came together, and I had leftover shrimp and lobster…see how that works? Continue reading
