all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, black pepper, buttermilk, cheddar cheese, fresh herbs, olive oil, parmesan cheese
Okay, so this should really be called “Cheese-Herb” Quick Bread, because there’s way more cheese than herb. But, I think the herbs are much more of a forward flavor, than the cheese…whatever you call it, doesn’t matter. Just make it… Continue reading

This version of Korma is not traditional. I’ve added eggplant and lemon zest. Feel free to omit both, but hand-to-heart, it won’t be as tasty…and at the Goddess’s abode, we’re all about tasty! This Korma has particularly good Karma. Continue reading

allspice, Anjou pears, bay leaf, broth, butter, dried cranberries, dry white wine, flour, gouda cheese, half and half, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, port wine, Shallots, smoked paprika, toasted walnuts
This was one of those recipes that you read and think, “Oh, my God…I need to make this right now”…except it’s two o’clock in the morning and you’re reading cookbooks because…who knows why? Except you aren’t asleep. But, the next morning…okay, later in the morning, I was in the kitchen peeling pears! Continue reading

I had paid a visit to the local Penzey’s, where I encountered the lovely, well-informed and very interesting, Kristen. She recommended their Turkish Seasoning, and I’m so very glad she did…that was the impetus for these lovelies. Continue reading

I have no idea if you would ever find this on a dinner table in Turkey. But, it has those flavors and I think, any Turkish cook might approve. For me, this is a stand-over-the-sink-and-eat-with-a-spoon-type of condiment. Continue reading

The Goddess loves rhubarb. It’s tart, yet sweet. It’s a vegetable, but we treat it more like a fruit. It’s old-fashioned and delicious. And it makes a fabulous pie, crisp or this lovely little concoction. Continue reading

This bread came by way of a local supermarket, in the small town, I grew up in. They had a good bakery and this bread was a winner. It’s loaded with protein, different flours and it’s wonderful…really wonderful, toasted. Continue reading

A friend extraordinaire, wants to improve her beef roasting skills and who doesn’t need to hone those, anyway? You know, a “Sunday” roast, rather than a hulking mass of prime rib. Oh, don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing quite like a perfectly cooked medium-rare prime rib, but it’s nice to know how to roast a more reasonable (both price and size) type of roast. You know…a good Sunday-dinner-with-the-family-type of roast. That’s what we’re doing here. Continue reading

I don’t know about you, but The Latin Lover and The Goddess seem to like to begin their weekend with pizza. Sure, we can get take-out. It’s good. Sometimes it’s even great pizza, but you can make your own and it isn’t that difficult. Really. It isn’t. Continue reading

broth, cannellini beans, Eggplant, Garlic, lacinato kale, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, onion, parsley, pesto, tomato paste
This is hearty and soul-warming…perfect for winter and those somewhat chilly early spring days. It’s loaded with flavor and you probably have most of the ingredients on hand. “Cooking the pantry”, so to speak, makes for a perfect, and perfectly delicious mid-week meal. And the bonus, I do think this is even better reheated. Continue reading
