The original Cuban Ham Dip is delicious. It is. But, it’s evolved. The Latin Lover likes the evolution. He thinks it’s even better than the original. It still has a smoky, sweet-sharp flavor, and it’s still creamy and robust. But, it’s more complex. It makes a great sandwich. Or maybe a Super Bowl slider? Continue reading
This came together in no time at all. I was hungry for pizza. Really, more the flavor of pizza. Does that happen to you? Do you get hungry for certain flavors, too? Anyway, that what this was born of…the hunger for a flavor! 
Does anyone really need a recipe for fruit salad? Probably not, but I’m giving you one anyone, just in case! This is a particularly nice combination of flavors, and it’s pretty. The lime juice and chile flakes go so very nicely with the fruit. Does that surprise you? 
Flan is one of those desserts that almost everyone loves. From a hostess’s standpoint, flan is a terrific dessert, as it really needs to be done in advance. It’s also a terrific dessert, because it’s simply delicious and deliciously simple. 
I like lentils. Actually, as far as legumes go, I think lentils may be my favorite. The Latin Lover is, shall we say, less fond of them. A bad childhood memory. But I’m trying to convert him. It’s always good to eradicate a bad childhood food memory and create a new, all-gown-up food memory! I think this soup may have done it! 
The Goddess was thinking about pizza for dinner or maybe a burger, but it was raining most convincingly. We’re talking monsoon, get-out-the-hip-waders! This was ark-building-type of downpour!…and this is the dry season in Florida…thank Goddess there’s no global warming…or the weather might be totally crazy! But, I digress. 
When the weather cools…okay becomes damn cold, there’s nothing quite like a bowl of soup or chowder. This is a simple combination of leeks, salmon, fennel and three kinds of potatoes. Chowder, without heaps of freshly ground black pepper, just doesn’t cut it on The Goddess’s table…. 
Moment of truth? This is really a garnish. In actuality, it’s a garnish that’s a relish, but “Condimento Picado” just sounds so much better than “Minced Relish”, doesn’t it? This is a perfect, tailor-made quick garnish/relish to add a punch of flavor to almost any plain, or simply prepared, protein. 
Risotto is so good. It’s a one-pot meal, The Spicy Honey likes it and well, it seemed like just the thing for dinner tonight. At the store, the shrimp looked great, so the plan came together. Don’t you just love when that happens?
