This is a nice alternative to tartar sauce. It’s wonderful served on the side of a grilled salmon filet….mmmmm! I usually serve this with Calamari Frita or Fried Calamari Rings. It is also excellent as a marinade for chicken. Continue reading

This is a nice little sauce to have on hand. It’s positively delicious with fish of any kind, but it’s decent with chicken fingers, Fried Calamari or drizzled over pork. You can vary the fruit, but I love this combination. Continue reading

I was going to call this Autumn Hummus, but really, what does that tell you? Nada! The pumpkin and roasted peppers are there, but they are subtle. Not front flavors at all. And it’s very festive-looking. Continue reading

I won’t even pretend this is a Liptauer-like cheese spread. Because, it isn’t that. I think we can assume its roots live there, but it matters not. It’s truly delightful schmeared on a bagel. Continue reading

Pears and bleu cheese have a natural affinity for each other. They are a perfect pair (pun intended!), so to speak. But, you might be rather surprised to learn that they’re also up for a threesome, with that sexy minx, cauliflower. Continue reading

‘Tis the time of year, and as you know, The Goddess loves her cranberry sauce. She loves homemade cranberry sauce. She loves the stuff in the cans, too. She’s been pining for cranberry sauce for months, so she began by making a double batch. Hey, cranberries are only around for a short time, but cranberry sauce can be forever! Well, almost….

Sweet potatoes or yams, I honestly don’t really know the difference. I know there is a difference. But, if you mash ’em up with some bourbon, top ’em with bacon and pecans and a good drizzle of maple syrup…well then, I don’t think it matters one bit. Continue reading

I always like to have a few jars of Hot Pepper Jelly on hand, particularly during the holiday season. Hot Pepper Jelly is always an appreciated hostess gift. It’s so versatile. I love to have a bit on a cheese tray, perfect with a leg of lamb, or on a grilled cheese sandwich. It’s a really nice glaze for chicken or pork, too. Are you getting the impression this is a versatile sauce to have in your pantry? You would be right…. Continue reading

I love fennel. I love it raw, but when it’s roasted or sautéed…mmm…it’s just superb. So many times I’ve heard people say they don’t know what to do with fresh fennel. This is a perfect marriage…fennel and apple. There’s no fighting here! Continue reading

At our home, mushroom soup is king. It’s pure comfort. I can’t believe I haven’t posted this before. I always have dried mushrooms in the cupboard, as well as porcini powder, so you can make mushroom soup whenever the mood comes over me. Continue reading
