Aleppo pepper flakes, broth, Carrots, parmesan cheese, Parsnips, rutabaga, spice, toaste walnuts
This is winter comfort food, but hey, it’s been chilly recently, and these veggies are just such a nice foil for Sunday Rump Roast Beef with Onion Gravy. And Rutabaga is an underutilized veggie and this combination, rutabaga, carrots and parsnips are just better together. Continue reading

This is similar to The Goddess’s Green Goddess, in that it’s creamy and green! The herbs are entirely different, so the flavor is different. But, delicious? Oh, yeah. This is terrific to dress a potato or pasta salad, smear on a chicken sandwich and it is wonderful on a nice green salad with bacon bits. But, The Goddess loves, loves, loves to dip roasted baby potatoes into this fine elixir…heaven! Pure heaven! Continue reading

And in case you missed it the first time…because this is spectacularly good with Corned Beef with Beer Gravy and it’s that time of year. When The Progeny are around the table, I have to make huge quantities, because it truly is…all…about…this…sauce! Continue reading

Are we tired of Ranch Dressing yet? Come on…you know we all love it. Don’t we? I’ve made Ranch for years, many times using the dry packet and embellishing it with more dill. The Goddess loves her dill. So why not make it from scratch? This is where we’ve ended up…for the moment, anyway. It’s terrific drizzled over a nice piece of salmon, on a baked potato, a shingle or on slices of garden tomatoes. Continue reading

If you’ve ever eaten in an Indian restaurant, then you’ve had this. The Goddess has been known to have a bowl of this. You think she’s kidding? She is not. This stuff is addictive, because it’s just, plain delicious. Continue reading

Apple butter is autumn in a jar. I love it spread on toast, or along side slices of pork. It’s comforting and just plain, delicious. But, it can be quite a bit of work, and you know The Goddess is one lazy…uh, well, Goddess. So, she came up with this version and she’s happy to report, it’s delicious. Continue reading

I just recently had a wonderful meal at Ariana, in Philadelphia’s Old Town. It was a frigid cold night, as one can expect in February. I didn’t have their “Aush” or “Mashawa”, which are typical Afghan soups, but I saw bowls or it going by and it smelled heavenly. Turns out, it is. Continue reading

Russian dressing? No. This is really more of a spread or dip. It’s this creamy version that absolutely makes a perfect Reuben sandwich. I love Reuben sandwiches. I think they are my favorite grilled sandwich and largely it’s because of a good, thick schmear of this little bit of heaven. This is pretty decent on a burger and it absolutely makes a roast beef sandwich. Oh, yeah…you can actually dress a salad, with it too! Continue reading

I’ve decided to inundate you with slaws…I’m loving them, so I feel the need to force feed them to you! This one is beautiful, very holiday-looking, and is particularly nice in winter. It drowns out the grey, days of dreariness with its vivid colors and it just tastes great! Continue reading

Slaws are underrated, in The Goddess’s ever so humble opinion. I think perhaps we think they are too ordinary, which is too bad. They don’t have to be. Explore your inner, creative side and slaw away! Continue reading
