Danish Red Cabbage Salad with Apples & MandarinsI’ve decided to inundate you with slaws…I’m loving them, so I feel the need to force feed them to you!  This one is beautiful, very holiday-looking, and is particularly nice in winter.  It drowns out the grey, days of dreariness with its vivid colors and it just tastes great!  Continue reading →

Seafood Coconut Curry with MangoI’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 →

apples, bacon fat, broth, Dijon mustard, dry white wine, Garlic, Mushrooms, Onions, Spices

Onions, Apple and Mushroom Compote (for Pork)The mixture of onions, apples and mushrooms is a winning combination.  I love this combination with pork or roasted chicken.  This is particularly nice, because you can make it ahead and reheat it.  I think it’s even better reheated, making it perfect for company.  And, this compote positively screams autumn!  Continue reading →

Celery, cilantro, citrus juice, cooked chicken, Dried Fruit, honey, mayonnaise, onion, Spices, toasted nuts, yogurt

Hint-of-Curry Chicken Salad with Cilantro and Toasted PecansI love chicken salad.  And I imagine you are pretty sick and tired of hearing about what The Goddess loves, as it seems to be everything, doesn’t it?  What can I say?  She’s an open-minded eater and a culinary adventurer.  Damn, that sounds much better than reality, because she’s pretty much willing to try anything at least once.  But, chicken salad is a never-to-be-passed-up dish, and this is a fantastic combination.   Just as an aside, leftover Thanksgiving turkey is delicious here, too….

Coconut Crunch

Tags

brown sugar, butter, coconut milk, cornstarch, egg yolks, flour, heavy cream, sugar, sweetened coconut, vanilla, vanilla extract, white chocolate, whole milk

Coconut CrunchThe Spicy Honey has an office BBQ and thought it would be a good idea for The Goddess to “whip up” dessert.  He’s thoughtful that way.  But, The Goddess doesn’t mind, because dessert is good, and this is particularly good.  It’s rich, creamy and just delicious, so isn’t that just the perfect thing to have at a BBQ?  Continue reading →

Spiced Pumpkin Bread with Cranberries and DatesThe Goddess loves this time of year, when the frost is on the pumpkin, the leaves are a riot of color and there’s just a slight chill in the air.  It’s soup weather.  It’s stew and chili weather.  And it’s time to make pumpkin bread!  Continue reading →

Pork with Mushrooms, Herbs and ApplesWhen I made this there was a hurricane brewing out there in the Atlantic.  And it hit North Carolina.  It hit hard near the coast.  Sadly, there are far too many people who suffered terrible loss at the hands of Mother Nature and will continue to deal with the devastation left in the wake of Flo.  We were very fortunate that Flo changed her mind and lost some steam by the time she arrived inland.  But, life goes on and you have to keep up your strength to brave the elements and repair the damage done.  Continue reading →

bacon, fresh herbs, Haas avocados, horseradish, jalapeño peppers, ketchup, lime juice, onion, Shrimp, Worcestershire sauce

Shrimp-Avocado CocktailThis is a nice alternative to the typical shrimp cocktail.  Also, it has dill.  Dill is an underused herb and it’s a great foil for shrimp.  Ketchup adds a little touch of sweetness and the lemon juice adds a nice little acidic bite…balance.  It’s all about balance, Baby!  Continue reading →
