cannellini beans, cheese tortellini, diced tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh fennel, Garlic, heavy cream, herbs, olive oil, onion, Spinach

This is a “meal” soup.  I fixed this for a special someone who had just driven for about nine hours.  After that grueling ordeal, you don’t want something too heavy.  You want comfort food.  You don’t want to be stuffed, but you’re hungry.  This soup is the perfect solution for that dilemma.

Salmon-Leek-Meyer Lemon SauceSalmon, leeks and lemon are a lovely combination.  I was going to make a cream-based sauce, but that just seemed too rich.  I thought it would “muddy” the clean flavor of the salmon.  This was light, very flavorful and rich enough.  What more could a Goddess want?  Continue reading →

Pasta with Butternut-Bacon Cream Sauce with SageIt’s autumn in New England.  Okay, so it’s autumn everywhere, but New England autumns are a Currier & Ives-type of beautiful.  This is The Goddess’s time of year.  There’s that little nip in the air, but no frost on the shrinking, post-Halloween pumpkins just yet.  The flavors of fall are big, bold flavors.  This sauce is a perfect mid-week sauce, but why wait?  Continue reading →
