12 Saturday Dec 2020

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Bread, Breakfast, Herbs, Lunch, Make Ahead, Parmesan, Spices, Vegetarian Option

≈ 3 Comments

Not a very sexy title, is that?  I was going to call it “The Tale of Two Coils” but, I decided a straight-forward, actual description was the way to go.  So here we are.  And it’s a pretty delicious place to be.  This is my basic, go to roll dough recipe, but with options!  Continue reading →

Shrimp-Avocado Cocktail

20 Thursday Sep 2018

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Appetizers, Fruit, Gluten Free, Lunch, Make Ahead, Shrimp, Vegetarian

≈ 1 Comment

Tags

bacon, fresh herbs, Haas avocados, horseradish, jalapeño peppers, ketchup, lime juice, onion, Shrimp, Worcestershire sauce

Shrimp-Avocado CocktailThis is a nice alternative to the typical shrimp cocktail.  Also, it has dill.  Dill is an underused herb and it’s a great foil for shrimp.  Ketchup adds a little touch of sweetness and the lemon juice adds a nice little acidic bite…balance.  It’s all about balance, Baby!  Continue reading →

Seafood Salad with Peaches, Tomatoes and Fresh HerbsWe had a wonderful weekend with The Middle Progeny, The Unbound Reader, who were kind enough to interrupt their busy lives and bring our brilliant granddaughter to the Carolinas.  After they left, the house seemed quiet…too quiet, so I rummaged around in the fridge and ran across some of the leftover Peach-o de Gallo.   Continue reading →

Croque-Monsieur with Mornay SauceFor years I’ve seen Croque-Monsieur on menus and thought, “hmmm, a grilled cheese made into French toast…”  Thanks, but I think I’ll pass.  Then, I had this version…with béchamel…mmmm.  Continue reading →

Fattoush or Panzanella-Why Choose?

13 Tuesday Jun 2017

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Gluten Free Option, Lunch, Main Course, Make Ahead, Salads

≈ 1 Comment

Tags

balsamic vinegar, black olives, Bread, cucumbers, Dijon mustard, fresh herbs, garlic granules, honey, olive oil, pickled peppers, pita bread, radishes, Scallions, Tomatoes, wine vinegar

Fattoush-Panzanella SaladPanzanella or Fattoush?  That is the question.  In reality, they are pretty much the same salad…and yet, not.   That makes no sense, does it?  At their roots, they are both bread salads, with good veggies tossed in.  But it is all about the bread or the pita, and with this version, you don’t have to choose between the two…Fattoush-azella!

Tuna-Avocado CevicheYesterday 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 →

CrêpesCrêpes are wonderfully flexible, but not eaten nearly enough.  They seem to have become passé.  They’re no longer as exotic or sexy, as they once were.  And, it’s a damn shame, I tell you.  So let’s bring them back.  Continue reading →
