I love fennel. I love it raw, but when it’s roasted or sautéed…mmm…it’s just superb. So many times I’ve heard people say they don’t know what to do with fresh fennel. This is a perfect marriage…fennel and apple. There’s no fighting here! Continue reading

Anyone you knows The Goddess, knows that her refrigerator is always bursting at the seams. The reason? One word…condiments. Condiments and sauces are where it’s at. It’s such a luxury to have jars of sauces, relishes or chutney tucked away, just waiting to be smeared on crackers, or added to a grilled cheese. Or serve alongside your Thanksgiving turkey, which is a nice change from, or in addition to, cranberry relish. Continue reading

This is a simple, rustic dessert. Comfort food. It has a good apple flavor, held together by a cakey pudding. Sort of a cross between apple pie and cake-like pudding. Pure comfort. Continue reading

With autumn upon us, and all those lovely apples and apple cider, I decided to slightly rethink my apple pie. The roots are the same as the Spiced Caramel Apple Pie, with all the warm spices, but I decided I wanted to “punch” up the apple taste to help create another little slice of heaven. Continue reading

Since The Goddess knows she can’t get anything by you, she’s not even going to try. You’re thinking, didn’t The Goddess post a loaf? Well, yes she did…The Roasted Butternut, Brie and Caramelized Onions en Croute. Okay, so she screwed up and reversed the order of the posts, but she not going to trash this, because it really is a delicious option. And the cooler weather seems like the perfect time for this oozy, delicious grilled cheese. Continue reading

Applesauce is delicious. This is better. My sister is the creator of this. Years ago, she made this for The Progeny. They loved it. They still do. I used to make huge amounts of this and can it in quart jars. The Eldest One used to eat it by the quart, quite literally. Continue reading

‘Tis the time of year for pies and tarts. Autumn…mmmmm! Such good, rich flavors and pears and apples are always a big part of that. Apple pie is a favorite of the men in The Goddess’s life, but she’s sort of partial to a combination of pears and apples. Continue reading

Apple pie, with all the warm spices, is a slice of heaven for dessert or breakfast. And why not for breakfast? You have apple Danish, don’t you? Think about a nice slice of apple pie for breakfast…it makes Monday worth getting out of bed for! Continue reading

Corncakes are a thing of beauty and surpisingly complex. You get the fluffiness of the cake part, juxtaposed with the crunchiness of the corn and cornmeal; texture is king in these. You can add chopped clams, among other savory things, or simply add sautéed apples or applesauce and maple syrup for breakfast. I love flexible dishes and this is a great one. Continue reading

We love onion soup. This version of onion soup has apple and apple cider added, as well as 2 different broths. It is yummy and warming and slightly sweet, and a bit savory. And best of all, it is great made ahead and reheated. Continue reading
