This was supper today. This is pure comfort. It’s been a long day, I was tired and I had leftover garlic rice, a nice, plump ripe avocado, eggs and onion and these flavors are crazy good together. This is a great breakfast and dish, too. MMMmmmm…. Continue reading

Black beans, cilantro, Garlic, heavy cream, onion, pineapple, Shrimp, spies, Tangerine, white wine
I know this sounds a tad odd, but you’re going to have to trust me. It is delicious. First, I adore shrimp with pineapple, a citrus and some cilantro…it’s just a good combination. And there was this half can of black beans leftover from a salad, so I thought, “why not?” Continue reading

We had leftover Pork with Salsa Verde, “Almost”. You may remember Plan B? That’s right, it’s leftovers, again! It turns out The Latin Lover loved this more than the original, so The Goddess will go directly to leftovers. Hmmmm, leftovers from scratch. Now there’s a concept! Continue reading

When The Progeny return from their far-flung places, The Goddess likes to try to prepare the foods they feel are special. The Eldest One arrives tomorrow, and I must say, tapioca pudding is high on his list of favorites… Continue reading

I just ran across a recipe for Chicken Mole Casserole on the Food & Wine website. And I do mean I “just” found it. It sounded great; I liked the idea of it. It just seemed like the perfect thing for dinner, so I made it, or rather my version of it. And it was on the table in 20 minutes! What a great weeknight or Friday-night-after-work-instead-of-pizza dinner! Continue reading

These are the best biscuits you’ll ever taste. I’m not kidding…when you make your first batch you’ll be bowled over by your cleverness and how truly easy biscuits are to make. Continue reading

This is one of those totally self-indulgent dishes…well, self-indulgent for me. I love fried rice. White rice you can keep, except to act as a nice fluffy, feather bed to be blanketed with a great sauce. This is a version of an after-work meal that I dream of. It’s the sole reason The Goddess makes extra rice. Continue reading

Posted in Pizza, Quickies (It's not what you think!), Vegetarian
A cast iron skillet, pizza dough, toppings, a jug of wine and thou! I made this for lunch in under 10 minutes…I had to prepare the toppings, you know. Pizza done this way is so simple, and you get a nice crispy crust without heating up the whole house or BBQ-ing in 100ºF heat. Continue reading

Okay, these aren’t necessarily “baked” beans. They can be, if that’s what you want to do and you have the time. Otherwise, make this “quick and dirty” version in about 20 minutes. They have tons of flavor and if you toss some cut-up hot dogs into the mix, cook some rice, add a tossed salad or green veggie, you can have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. Continue reading

Today, when I got the first real vine-ripened tomatoes, I knew EXACTLY what to make. Tomaquet is to Spain, in particular, to the Catalan, what bruschetta is to the Italians. Ask any Spaniard about tomato bread and they will get a faraway look in their eyes and wax on about tomaquet for, at the very least, 15 minutes. Continue reading
