This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_4242.jpgMy mother used to make this soup.  I have vivid memories of coming home from school, walking into the kitchen and the heavenly scent of this soup, wafting through the room…really, through the whole house!  It’s such an autumn or winter soup.  It just tastes nourishing.  Continue reading →

Scalloped Potato and Ham Soup

13 Friday Dec 2019

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Gluten Free, Potatoes, Soup, Vegetarian

≈ 2 Comments

Tags

carrot, dry chicken base, Ham, heavy cream, leftover mashed potatoes, Scallions, shredded cheese

Honestly, I really had been thinking about potato soup today.  I had leftover mashed potatoes, with just a bit of parsnip in them.  This is a perfect situation to make a soup.  I had some ham, a couple of slices of jamón Iberico, a few leftover roasted baby potatoes, and I shredded up a carrot.  You can see the “roots” of a soup, can’t you?  Continue reading →

Greek-Style Roasted Potatoes

11 Wednesday Sep 2019

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Gluten Free, Herbs, Potatoes, Side Dishes, Vegetarian

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

chicken broth, Garlic, Greek oregano, olive oil, Potatoes, seasonings

I’ve never met a potato that I didn’t love.  Potato versatility is, without a doubt, endless.  But, what the Greeks do with potatoes, is heavenly. These are the perfect side dish.  And on a busy day, they go together so quickly, you can easily make them for dinner.  They are perfect with a nice lemony, roasted chicken.  Or better yet, buy a supermarket roasted chicken.  Sometimes life just needs to be that easy.  Continue reading →

Sweet Potato-Black Bean Salad with Lime-Smoked Paprika Vinaigrette

03 Wednesday Jul 2019

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Black beans, Gluten Free, Make Ahead, Salads, Sweet Potatoes, Vegetarian

≈ 2 Comments

Tags

avocado, bell peppers, Black beans, cilantro, green olives, lime juice, olive oil, pineapple, roasted garlic, Scallions, Spices, sweet potato, vegetable oil

This salad is good at any time of the year.  It is a great summer salad, as no mayo, but it also is lovely in the autumn, when the leaves turn about the same color as the salad.  Make it the day ahead and chill it overnight.  But, it’s best eaten at room temperature.  Add some red chile flakes for a little heat, when the thermometer dips.  Continue reading →

Roman Potato Salad with Prosciutto, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Garlic and Herbs

23 Sunday Jun 2019

Tags

balsamic vinegar, Celery, Dijon mustard, dry herbs, Garlic, hard-boiled eggs, olive oil, prosciutto, Russet potatoes, Scallions, sun-dried tomatoes, toasted walnuts

The Goddess is experimenting, yet again.  Potato Salad is one of her favorites and one of her favorites to “mess” with.  When the bag of sun-dried tomatoes dropped out of the cupboard and the prosciutto package slid out of the fridge…well, you don’t need to be hit by a Vaporetto to see the signs!  Continue reading →

olive oil, salt & pepper, Spices, Sweet Potatoes

Spicy Roasted Sweet Potato WedgesSweet potatoes are wonderful and should be eaten more frequently than just at Thanksgiving.  Don’t get me wrong, mashed sweet potatoes are wonderful, like the Bourbon Sweet Potatoes with Bacon-Pecan Topping, Savory Layered Sweet Potatoes, or Scalloped Sweet Potatoes with a Kick!, but let’s not limit ourselves.  Roasted sweet potato wedges are a delicious alternative.  Continue reading →

Simply Delicious Potato Soup

bay leaves, broth, butter, Celery, heavy cream, Onions, Potatoes

Basic Potato SoupEvery now and then we need to return to the very “root” (or tuber, in this case) of cooking.  This is one of those “basic” recipes.  And soup is a great place to begin.  Most of us love soup, or at the very least, like it.  Particularly, when the thermometer begins to dip, as it is these days.  But, we shouldn’t leave soup off of our summer menu, as many soups have the wonderful flexibility of being served either hot or cold.  Potato soup is no exception…vichyssoise, anyone?  Continue reading →

Chicken with Peppers and Onions, Portuguese-StyleThis is the way you might find chicken prepared in a Portuguese kitchen.  I found it surprising how much oregano is used in their cooking.  I knew that cilantro and bay leaves were used frequently, but why not?  It makes for some tasty dishes.  Continue reading →

ball park mustard, Carrots, Celery, cider vinegar, dill pickle juice, dill pickles, dillweed, olive oil, onion, Potatoes

Take-Along, Dill Pickle-Mustard Potato Salad (No Mayo!)I was eating a dill pickle the other day, and thinking about potato salad.  Who knows why?  But, that was what I was doing.  And the more this thought wandered aimlessly  around my head, the more ideas came to me…this salad it the result of that wander.  Continue reading →

Goddess of the Sea CakesI really do so enjoy imitation crab meat.  I know it’s not crab meat.  I just like it.  It’s never fishy when it’s heated.  It has a nice consistency, it’s easy to work with and it just tastes so good.  And it was really good in these patties.  Continue reading →
