I have an Instant Pot. I love it. I have a slow-cooker. And I love that, too. And either is a great way to make fruit butter…but, today, we’re making Apple-Pear Butter…mmm…autumn in a jar! Continue reading

This is a great little salad. It’s pretty, it holds up well and it’s delicious. Mandarins have just come into the market and they are wonderful. I find, you can eat the entire being, peel and all. And they’re gorgeous and just scream autumn. Continue reading

It’s that time of year…the beginning of soup season. Or autumn to normal people. And as it happens, it’s also apple season. See the connection I made there? Nothing gets by The Goddess. This seemed like a marriage made in heaven. And it is! Continue reading

As you know, The Goddess loves fruit with savory things. The spices are the “warm” spices—allspice, coriander, smoked paprika. And nectarines. There isn’t much that’s better than a juicy, ripe nectarine, eaten out of hand, with the juices running down your chin. God, I need a cigarette, just thinking about it. This dish combines the sweetness of nectarines, sweet potatoes and juicy chicken thighs seasoned with those “warm” spices, all in one pan. Continue reading

“The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye”, so the song goes. It’s the perfect time to make a little corn relish. The zucchini are still bearing, the peppers are starting to bear and the corn…oh God, the corn! It’s so delicious fresh, but it’s nice to have a few jars of corn relish tucked away for later.

This post is going to be short and sweet. Or rather short and salty! This should probably be called “Summer Salt”, but I came up with this tasty, rather simple combination of flavors, specifically for tomatoes. But, it’s so much more. Continue reading

This isn’t exactly a chutney. It’s really a cross between a chutney and a relish. It’s sweet and sour. It’s fruity, but with a hit of savory because of the Worcestershire and vinegar. You know, it really doesn’t matter what we call it. What matters is that it’s delicious! Continue reading

Okay. Right off I want you to know that The Goddess is misleading you. Yup. She’s leading you down the culinary garden path. She broiled the corn; she has no grill. And creamy? There is no cream, either. But, I’m here to tell you. This is truly delicious! Continue reading

This is one of those salads that just goes together by itself. Okay, so you do have to cut things up, and stir things up, but otherwise, it’s stupid simple. This is good any time of the year, but when your garden patch is bursting with goodness, this is positively stellar. Continue reading

This is a nice little change of pace from Not-Quite-Classic Creamy Coleslaw. But, I think you’ll find this to be a surprisingly delicious change of pace. A change of pace is good…. Continue reading
