Slow-roasting salmon, is simple and allows for more margin of error. In other words, it’s much harder to overcook salmon (or any fish, for that matter). But, it really about the texture. The texture of slow-roasted salmon is silky and unctuous. It’s sexy salmon! You’re going to like this. Continue reading

A Thanksgiving turkey sandwich with slices of sweet mango, a good schmear of Sweet Curry Mayo, is hands-down, no contest, the favorite way The Eldest Progeny likes to have his leftover Thanksgiving turkey. And if a couple of slices of bacon happen to jump on the sandwich, he’ll sacrifice himself. It’s the blend of flavors, I guess. But, I always make a good-sized container of Sweet Curry Mayo for him and his sandwiches. Continue reading

Anyone you knows The Goddess, knows that her refrigerator is always bursting at the seams. The reason? One word…condiments. Condiments and sauces are where it’s at. It’s such a luxury to have jars of sauces, relishes or chutney tucked away, just waiting to be smeared on crackers, or added to a grilled cheese. Or serve alongside your Thanksgiving turkey, which is a nice change from, or in addition to, cranberry relish. Continue reading

At our house, rice pudding is a HUGE comfort food. Right up there with tapioca pudding, but that’s another post. And then, there’s pumpkin pie, all spicy and creamy. And around this time of year, pumpkin pops up in everything, so I decided to combine these two comforts. Why not? And just in time for Thanksgiving, too. Continue reading

Boneless chicken thighs are a natural for stuffing. The cheese-stuffed jalapeño is a perfect way to keep the cheese from oozing out of the thigh and giving the whole thing a nice little Zing!! A pan sauce, a Cuban tamale and dinner is served. Continue reading

This is a simple, rustic dessert. Comfort food. It has a good apple flavor, held together by a cakey pudding. Sort of a cross between apple pie and cake-like pudding. Pure comfort. Continue reading

Every now and again, you happen on a dish that’s just perfect. This is that dish. It’s a positively delicious dish. It’s loaded with rich flavors and vivid colors. Though it’s absolutely best made when the garden is overflowing, it transcends seasons. And perhaps best of all, it goes together quickly and is even better made ahead and eaten at room temperature.

I love fritters. They’re a great way to use veggies. They’re a great way to use up leftover veggies and they’re fried. And anything fried is just better. Face it. It’s true. You know it’s true. Continue reading
