I’ve had Banh Mi on my mind recently. At this point, venturing out for a Banh Mi, is foolishly indulgent, no matter how good it is. And these are good! Solution? Make some for the The Latin Lover and me. To that end, a meatloaf seemed like the place to start. This is that meatloaf. Continue reading

This is a quick-fix dinner for Cinco de Mayo. If you have leftover chicken from Sunday dinner, like the Brazilian Bakery Sunday Chicken, then you’re set. If not, purchase one of those broasted chickens from the supermarket. This is a perfect patio dinner on a hot summer day. Continue reading

Spring is here…at least it’s here in The Goddess’s realm of being. And of course, it is all about The Goddess! If spring hasn’t arrived, there are, as they say, the “harbingers of spring”…daffodils, new green growth peeking through the soil, and lovely, sunny, cool days. Continue reading

The Spicy Honey loves, loves, loves Bolognese sauce. And admittedly, I’ve never been particularly happy with my previous attempts. They were just ho-hum. This one…I’m very happy with, and I think you might be, too! Continue reading

Don’t purchase pre-made poultry season. Homemade is less expensive, it’s head-and-shoulders above the purchased stuff and it’s easy-peasy to do. I thought I would pass along my current version of poultry seasoning. I use this for fried chicken, all chicken really, as well as turkey. It has evolved over the years and will probably continue to evolve. That’s how I cook. Our tastes change and so should our recipes. Continue reading
