A Thanksgiving turkey sandwich with slices of sweet mango, a good schmear of Sweet Curry Mayo, is hands-down, no contest, the favorite way The Eldest Progeny likes to have his leftover Thanksgiving turkey. And if a couple of slices of bacon happen to jump on the sandwich, he’ll sacrifice himself. It’s the blend of flavors, I guess. But, I always make a good-sized container of Sweet Curry Mayo for him and his sandwiches. Continue reading
Every now and again, we have a vegetarian at our holiday table. There are always plenty of side dishes that will work for them, but I think vegetarians should be able to experience a filling and delicious main course. Just to be clear, non-vegetarians gobble this up, too! Yeah, I went for the Thanksgiving pun…get over it! 
Anyone you knows The Goddess, knows that her refrigerator is always bursting at the seams. The reason? One word…condiments. Condiments and sauces are where it’s at. It’s such a luxury to have jars of sauces, relishes or chutney tucked away, just waiting to be smeared on crackers, or added to a grilled cheese. Or serve alongside your Thanksgiving turkey, which is a nice change from, or in addition to, cranberry relish. 
At our house, rice pudding is a HUGE comfort food. Right up there with tapioca pudding, but that’s another post. And then, there’s pumpkin pie, all spicy and creamy. And around this time of year, pumpkin pops up in everything, so I decided to combine these two comforts. Why not? And just in time for Thanksgiving, too. 
This is a simple, rustic dessert. Comfort food. It has a good apple flavor, held together by a cakey pudding. Sort of a cross between apple pie and cake-like pudding. Pure comfort. 
Every now and again, you happen on a dish that’s just perfect. This is that dish. It’s a positively delicious dish. It’s loaded with rich flavors and vivid colors. Though it’s absolutely best made when the garden is overflowing, it transcends seasons. And perhaps best of all, it goes together quickly and is even better made ahead and eaten at room temperature. 
I love fritters. They’re a great way to use veggies. They’re a great way to use up leftover veggies and they’re fried. And anything fried is just better. Face it. It’s true. You know it’s true. 
The Goddess is in apple pie mode these days. She likes to reduce apple cider to add to the apples to really give an apple-y blast! She’s very explosive, you know! This vinaigrette was born from that reduction. 
Think of this cole slaw as a “monsoon” of tropical flavors…pineapple, mango, orange…need I say more? Okay, maybe I do, but you’re going to want to slap this on some fish tacos or anything seafood-y. Or just have it for breakfast. 
This isn’t exactly a salsa in the Mexican-dip-for-tortilla chips sense, but more of an uncooked, chunky thick sauce…maybe a dressing? But, no matter what you call it, it’s a nice change of pace and it’s delicious. It’s great over a steak, on a burger or even on chicken. This is just perfect for summer, when tomatoes come rolling in.
