This tapenade is salty, slightly bitter, slightly sweet and completely delicious. It works with meat, poultry, and fish. It can be stirred into sauces. Or smeared on a grilled cheese. Yes, it’s a flexible little minx, this one. Continue reading

I just made this for dinner tonight. The Spicy Honey loves tomato soup, but he usually prefers the kind in the can. However, he does enjoy this one. This is an incredibly simple and delicious soup. With summer on the horizon, this seems to work, even when the heat creeps into our bones. Continue reading

When you put out a bowl of good olives, they always seems to disappear quickly, don’t they? When I put these little orbs of tastiness out to nibble, with drinks, before dinner, they fly out of the bowl! If you’re lucky enough to have some left, they are mighty delicious strewn over a salad.

The Spicy Honey loves his mushroom soup. Usually, he’s happy with the canned stuff, but this is so simple to make; it is really soooooo delicious. I thought I probably should share the recipe. Because, you need to make this. Continue reading

You’ve heard about Texas Caviar, Cowboy Caviar, Bean Dip or whatever, right? You probably make it or at the very least, have eaten it. This isn’t exactly that…it’s really a riff on my mother’s Three Bean Salad and we could consider it “friends” with my Three Bean Salad with Potatoes and Corn. What makes this salad different? It has those lovely Tex-Mex flavors. I’m not a big fan of beans and rice, but give me a bean salad and I’m there to the very end…of the bowl! Chips are good, too. Continue reading

Move over chimichurri! This will be your go-to sauce for the summer. I found this over at the Tasting Table. Those folks come up with some amazing dishes, it’s not surprising to find this gem on their website. And this most certainly is a gem. Continue reading

Yesterday The Goddess very pointedly told you not to use oily fish for ceviche. Clearly, she’s not to be trusted. Because today, here she is, using tuna in ceviche. So, it turns out that tuna (and I have used salmon—horrors!) is really quite lovely in ceviche. Continue reading

With the heat of summer around the corner, and sort of already here in South Florida, (though it is raining today) I decided it was time to make ceviche. Ceviche is probably the quintessential summer (read “hot weather”) dish. But, the thing is, it is barely springtime, so I thought some spring fruit might be a nice addition. Maybe even some diced sugar snap peas or asparagus…. Continue reading
