Crêpes–Let’s Bring Them Back!

10 Monday Apr 2017

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Brunch, Desserts, Fillings, Lunch, Main Course, Make Ahead

Tags

all-purpose flour, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, melted butter, whole milk

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 →

cilantro, Garlic, olive oil, orange zest, parsley, salt

Parsley-Cilantro-Orange ChimichurriChimichurri is a great sauce for both steak and seafood.  Actually, this version, would make a chunk of wood palatable!  It’s pretty decent on almost anything, like potatoes (either sweet or regular), roasted parsnips, carrots or cauliflower…like I said, almost anything.  Continue reading →

Meatloaf RomanaI forget about meatloaf and I don’t know why.  We love it.  It’s goes together quickly.  It practically bakes itself and damn, it’s just so delicious.  And best of all, it makes great sandwiches.  I’ve already given you Roadhouse Meatloaf, but you should have this one, too.  Continue reading →

Cheeseburger & “Fries” Casserole

Cheeseburger & "Fries" CasseroleWho 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 →

Parsnip PancakesParsnips are one of the things I always look forward to when autumn rolls around.  Beef Barley Soup just isn’t as good without a parsnip.  Neither is a good beef stew.  I know it’s spring and it’s the end of the parsnip season, but think of these little discs of goodness as the last parsnip hurrah!  Continue reading →

Spiced Pear-Plum ApplesauceApplesauce is delicious.  This is better.  My sister is the creator of this.  Years ago, she made this for The Progeny.  They loved it.  They still do.  I used to make huge amounts of this and can it in quart jars.  The Eldest One used to eat it by the quart, quite literally.  Continue reading →

Not-Quite-Classic Creamy Coleslaw

Not-Quite-Classic Creamy ColeslawAs I mentioned in the post for the Broccoli-Apple Slaw with Cranberries, I’ve discovered broccoli slaw, that mixture of shredded broccoli that lives in the produce department of your supermarket.  We really liked that slaw, but it’s not exactly a “classic” slaw.  So why not make a more classic version of coleslaw, but using the broccoli instead?  Seriously.  Why not?  We’re flexible, aren’t we and this is just as delicious.  Maybe even better.  Continue reading →

Creamy Horseradish-Mustard SauceI thought I’d posted this already, but I guess I overlooked it…and that’s bad.  Really bad.  Because this is spectacularly good with Corned Beef with Beer Gravy and it’s that time of year.  When The Progeny are around the table, I have to make huge quantities, because it truly is…all…about…this…sauce!  Continue reading →

Brazilian-Style Shrimp Bisque (Sopa de Camarão)This is, at its heart, the shrimp bisque you’re familiar with.  But I was feeling the Carnaval vibe, given the time of year, and the shrimp looked so tasty, so I decided to jazz up the regular old bisque with some Brazilian flavors.  It worked.  And The Spicy Honey loved it.  Lent won’t be all about sacrifice, after all!  Continue reading →
