I mentioned yesterday that The Youngest One brought some Hunter’s Sausage from Vermont. I made Grilled Potato Salad, and grilled cauliflower, but he loves cole slaw. He is particularly fond of the Sweet Mustard Summer Slaw, I’ve been making over the…wait for it…SUMMER! Continue reading

The Youngest One brought some homemade sausage from Vermont and that just says, “Grill, baby, grill”! Potato salad seemed like a good idea and since the grill was going anyway, why not grill the potatoes? And the onions, too? Turns out, that was my one good idea for the day! Continue reading

Preserved Lemons are a luxurious item to have in the fridge. They are used in Indian and North African cuisine; no tagine would be complete without them. But, they can be used in all sorts of savory concoctions from vinaigrettes, to stews, to soups and salads. Continue reading

In The Goddess’s little world, there aren’t too many things better than Chocolate Chip Cookies. Particularly fresh out of the oven, all gooey and creamy soft in the center, with just a hint of crispness around the edges. Excuse me, but I need a moment to savor this thought. Continue reading

The Eldest Son loves bread pudding. Since he was going to be around, and I had some day old bread around, I thought, why not? I also had some very ripe bananas around, and I thought…hmmm, why wouldn’t these two flavors work well together? And they did! Continue reading

The recipe title is quite a mouth-full, isn’t it? We enjoyed this wonderful dish, at a dinner party in Puerto Rico, over 25 years ago. From the first bite, I was completely smitten with the flavor and the texture. It was creamy, salty, all gooey with cheese and truly delicious. It was about the best fish I had ever eaten. The hostess told me she would gladly give me the recipe. I don’t think she wanted to share the recipe, but I was bulldog-tenacious and wouldn’t give up. I begged and begged her for months, until we were down to pretty much the day before we were leaving the island, when she finally relented. Sometimes Goddess’s have to be persistent. Continue reading

A cast iron skillet, pizza dough, toppings, a jug of wine and thou! I made this for lunch in under 10 minutes…I had to prepare the toppings, you know. Pizza done this way is so simple, and you get a nice crispy crust without heating up the whole house or BBQ-ing in 100ºF heat. Continue reading

The key to really good tuna, is to purchase the freshest tuna you can and then, not over-cooking them. They should be red in the very center and pink at the very least, with no more than 1/4-inch edge of doneness, less if possible. The truly wonderful part of all this is, tuna steaks can be cooked and on the table in less than 10 minutes! Continue reading

You may have heard that The Goddess loves sauces. We’re talking any type of sauce, but she does have a special little spot in her heart for mayonnaise or creamy-type sauces. This sauce is one of THOSE sauces! It’s wonderful with Tuxedo Tuna, on a Bahn Mi or Grilled Thai Pork Burgers. Continue reading

I think it’s fair to say that most of us don’t think, “zucchini and chocolate…MMMMM. Now there’s a combination made in heaven!” I know I didn’t. But guess what? You should absolutely think good and happy thoughts about that combination, because this is an absolutely delicious cake. Continue reading
