‘Tis the time of year! This is a great gift from the kitchen, though admittedly The Goddess has been know to plan to give this away, and it never quite makes it out of the kitchen. So she’s sharing the recipe with you, just in case you don’t receive a jar, now you can make it yourself. Continue reading

The Eldest Son loves bread pudding. Since he was going to be around, and I had some day old bread around, I thought, why not? I also had some very ripe bananas around, and I thought…hmmm, why wouldn’t these two flavors work well together? And they did! Continue reading

Fruit Fools are a great dessert to have in your repertoire. They can be quickly prepared, use the fruits in season, can be very last minute or made ahead of time and are therefore, pretty easy. All you really need is to have some fresh and heavy cream…you always have heavy cream in the fridge, don’t you? Continue reading

I’m guessing that you’re thinking The Goddess has plunged deeply off the edge of the earth, which most rational, sane people can make a case for on any given day anyway. But you really do have to try this. It is surprising and surprisingly delicious. With local berries in season, it’s the perfect time of year for this sauce, which is as good drizzled over grilled chicken as it is over good vanilla ice cream. Continue reading

Rhubarb is spring and early summer. How something so sour, when mixed with a bit of sugar and/or strawberries can taste so good, is beyond the scope of The Goddess’s comprehension…but delicious it is. I’m partial to rhubarb crisp, rather than pie. I love the buttery, crunching topping and when I make a pie, I prefer to use this topping. Continue reading

This sauce is summer! Mango, pineapple, mint and a few other lovelies tossed in for good measure. This is the perfect balance for a grilled chicken breast or piece of salmon. It is truly perfection with crab cakes. Continue reading

It’s almost Mother’s Day and Mom deserves a bit of exotic, don’t you think? This is a perfect breakfast-in-bed recipe and is really good fruit salad. I’m talking homemade, not the nonsense in the in the produce department of your local supermarket. But, once again, if the fruit isn’t ripe and juicy, then the fruit salad will fall flat…but maybe not too flat…there are tricks! Continue reading

Granola seems to be a flash back to the 60’s. It shouldn’t be. This is THE recipe for granola. Seriously. Superlatives aside. This is so good you won’t stop eating it until your jaws get tired. Then you’ll rest and go right back in for more! Truly, it is without a doubt, the best granola you will ever toss over your teeth! It’s good stirred into yogurt, it’s great sprinkled gingerly over a scoop of ice cream and fantastic eaten just as it is. Continue reading

Since it snowed today, the first day of Spring, I decided it was still winter enough to post this. Anyway, tabbouleh sort of transcends seasons, though I think many of us think of tabbouleh as a summer salad. Its make-ahead qualities, no mayonnaise, and no real cooking involved, really do scream summer. But, why limit ourselves to this deliciousness only in the summer? This is the perfect autumnal and winter salad, too. Continue reading
