Who doesn’t love a good cheeseburger? And nice, crispy fries? So, The Goddess was thinking this might just work in a casserole. You know how she’s into these one-dish or skillet dinners. Many time when she thinks something will work, it doesn’t work as well as it does in her mind’s-eye. But, this turned out to be incredibly, almost indecently, tasty. Continue reading
Do you have some leftover Corned Beef from St. Patrick’s Day? Leftover potatoes, cabbage, too? This is leftover heaven, all rolled into a cabbage leaf. Not only that, it’s a skillet dinner…only one pan to clean…life just keeps getting better. 
This is a dish my sister Joan used to make. She’s no longer with us, but her memory lives on with me in so many ways. This dish is one of the things she made for her large family and her busy life. It was fast, tasty and economical. What more could you ask for? 
This concoction of leftover Thanksgiving dinner has been in my life since, well forever. We usually had duck and/or goose for Thanksgiving, sometimes a pork roast, but rarely a turkey. But, we always had stuffing (or dressing) and lots of it! 
Picadillo is a favorite of The Latin Lover and the Progeny. We like it a bit on the soupier side, because we serve it with or over rice and usually black beans and fried ripe plantains (maduros). So The Goddess decided to throw caution to the wind and combine these flavors. I mean, why not?

Coffee is essential to the life-blood of The Goddess. If she doesn’t have a cup in her hand, she’s thinking about getting one. Coffee adds a wonderful richness to foods. And well, it just tastes so damn good. 
It’s moving day! Finally, our things are arriving in Miami, so The Latin Lover will have a real life and wife, soon! The Goddess was bone-tired, dead on her feet, but we wanted to eat in. What’s easier than Stuffed Peppers? This, right here, is why she loves, loves, loves leftovers. 
Corn cakes are a nice change of pace and a really wonderful option to use up leftover corn-on-the-cob. Zucchini and tomato just seemed like a natural fit. And I think it was. 
I do love to read The New York Times (NYT). And don’t get me started on their Sunday crossword. The Eldest Progeny and I tend to share that joy whenever he’s around, but every other Sunday, it’s mine. All mine.
