The Goddess has been thinking a bit about Thanksgiving. She has a lot to be thankful for, but packing up the house isn’t high on the list. She’s doing it way too slowly, but it’s going. But, I digress…what else is new? Continue reading

I was going to call this fish pie, but that seemed misleading; there’s no crust. And when most people hear “pie” they expect crust. But most everyone knows that shepherd’s pie is a mixture of meat (in this case, fish) and vegetables topped with mashed potatoes. And most everyone knows that Neptune was the Roman God of the Sea…hence, Neptune’s Shepherd’s Pie seemed more accurate. Continue reading

Do you ever forget about a recipe, then run across it, or find something that reminds you of it and you think, “I love that and had forgotten about it. I must make it NOW!” Well, that’s what happened to The Goddess last night. Continue reading

This is a great marinade. It is rather naturally Latin by ingredients and works great with chicken breasts. It marries frozen orange juice concentrate, lime juice, with some garlic, herbs and spices. But, there’s a secret ingredient…. Continue reading

I love salsa. I think most people do. I love it on good tortilla chips. Good salsa pure, simple, with just the right balance of flavors. The thing is I’m picky about my salsa. I don’t like the watery version you get from using fresh tomatoes. Nor the thick, gloppy version that takes over the whole chip. Both of these seem to be de rigueur in many jarred, and so-called “fresh” salsas in supermarkets and many restaurants, Mexican or otherwise. So I decided to do something about it. Continue reading

Buffalo-Flavored Cauliflower with Bleu Cheese…why didn’t I think of this before? As you know, The Goddes is trying to divest her fridge of its belongings, and there was this bottle of Frank’s® Hot Sauce that’s been lurking, hiding behind the jars of capers, olives and pickles, right there on the door. And sitting right there on the shelf was a piece of bleu cheese…you see where she’s going here, right? Continue reading

This is it! The chicken you won’t be able to stop eating. You may abandon supermarket-roasted chickens forever! The flavors are very similar to Lechon Asado from a much earlier post, but it’s the Honey-Lime Drizzle that will make you weak in knees. Continue reading

The Goddess just realized she has never done a dedicated post to gravy. What was she thinking? She’s teased you with snippets, little bits and pieces of “how-to”, but never really spelled it out…G-R-A-V-Y! If you’re not happy with your gravy, hopefully this post will help you make it perfectly! Continue reading

The Goddess has never met an onion she doesn’t like. She LOVES onions. It’s that simple. She loves them caramelized; onions add sweetness to dishes, when caramelized. She love them raw; raw onions add crunch and freshness. Is there anything better than raw onions on a burger? Sauté onions just a bit, but leave them with some texture; they are lovely in onion soup or piled on top of steak or eaten right out of the skillet! She seems to lean toward Walla Walla, Vidalia, but leeks, scallions, shallots are all high on her list, too. And of course, the beautiful and tasty red onions we’re using here. Continue reading
