Nutmeg is an interesting spice. The holiday season wouldn’t be complete without it. Apple and pumpkin pies and who doesn’t love egg nog? Nutmeg works on both sweet and savory levels, though most of us think of it as a sweet spice, but today let me introduce you to its savory side. Continue reading

I mentioned a couple of things in yesterday’s Classically Good Potato Salad post—boiled dressing and Hard-boiled Eggs. Neither of those things sound very sexy, do they? But, these are both things you should know how to prepare well….first, boiled dressing…. Continue reading

The second thing you need to know how to prepare—perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs. This is part of basic cooking knowledge. You want beautiful, bright yellow yolks with no dark, green rings around them. This is a perfectly cooked egg yolk. This is how you do it. Continue reading

My father loved potato salad. More importantly, he loved my mother’s potato salad. This is the way she made potato salad and she made it well. This is the way she taught me to make potato salad. There’s not much better with a hot dog, and yes, Virginia, that’s ketchup on the hot dog…get over it! Continue reading

For some reason, The Goddess has been thinking about potato salad. Maybe it’s working in the garden or the too early summer weather we had last week…who knows what brings these thoughts to the surface? But this week, The Goddess will share a few potato salad offerings… Continue reading

I’m certain you’re tired of hearing about hummus. There are tons of recipes out there to make it and admittedly you can purchase some decent hummus, but I thought I would share this seasonal-flavored version. Besides, look at the color! Isn’t it just too pretty not to taste good? Continue reading

Chimichurri is to Argentina what pesto is to southern Italy. I mean it is really about the same thing. Chimichurri, (and isn’t that just fun to say?) is usually chopped herbs, languishing in a lovely pool of good olive oil, rather than the more emulsified pesto. This is a drizzle sauce….

Rhubarb is spring and early summer. How something so sour, when mixed with a bit of sugar and/or strawberries can taste so good, is beyond the scope of The Goddess’s comprehension…but delicious it is. I’m partial to rhubarb crisp, rather than pie. I love the buttery, crunching topping and when I make a pie, I prefer to use this topping. Continue reading

Summer rolls are an absolute favorite of The Goddess and her peeps. They are the perfect summer dinner on a scorching hot day, but really I can eat these any day, any time, any season. The most difficult part is rolling them, and after about 2 or 3, you get the hang of it pretty quickly. They are fast to prepare, can be made ahead, and are delicious. The kind of thing you can whip up (or roll up) after work, in a flash. Continue reading

This sauce is summer! Mango, pineapple, mint and a few other lovelies tossed in for good measure. This is the perfect balance for a grilled chicken breast or piece of salmon. It is truly perfection with crab cakes. Continue reading
