Floating Islands?  Seriously…what has happened to The Goddess?  Has she been into the Rosé to excess?  Or was she out in the sun too long?  Everyone knows that “floating islands” is a dessert.  Yes.  That’s true.  Normally, it is.  But, as you know there’s nothing normal about The Goddess!  Continue reading →

bacon, bell peppers, dry white wine, Eggplant, Garlic, herbs, olive oil, parmesan cheese, Shrimp, Spices

You know I adore eggplant.  I don’t think I’ve ever met an eggplant dish I didn’t love.  I’ve been thinking about stuffed eggplant, so I decided that today was the day.  I was heading down the vegetarian path, adding lentils to give us that meaty texture.  Then, I took another path….

Skillet Pizza-in-a-MeatloafI had some mini-pepperoni that just seemed like they would be a nice addition to some lean ground beef…I was thinking maybe a taco-like thing, but The Latin Lover said, “We haven’t had meatloaf in a while.  I love meatloaf”…well, what more could a Goddess want to hear?  Continue reading →

bacon, egg, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, toast

Breakfast Reuben SandwichThis was a revelation for The Goddess.  Who would have thought this would be such a winning combination?  I’ve been reveling in leftover Oma’s Sauerkraut with Apple, Onion and Bacon and have I been enjoying it.  In that posting, I think I mentioned sautéed sauerkraut with fried eggs over the top for breakfast.  This is just a waltz one step further down that road!  Continue reading →

Oma's Sauerkraut with Apple, Onion and BaconDid you have a nice Thanksgiving?  We were blessed with a visit from our good Canadian friends, The Austrian Sweet Tooth and The Organizer, Now Retired (she’s my political conscience!).  They were visiting to “experience” the “Southern” Thanksgiving, as they have never been with us for Thanksgiving, American-style, and a “Southern” Thanksgiving, as well.  We didn’t do the traditional turkey, but feasted on Pork Tenderloin with Mushrooms, Herbs and Apples, Bread Stuffing with Herbs, Scalloped Corn and sauerkraut.  Sauerkraut is just so delicious with pork, so why not?  And this…this is some gooood sauerkraut!  Continue reading →

bacon, broth, butter, corn kernels, fire-roasted tomatoes, Garlic, honey, olive oil, Onions, rice flour, tomato paste, whole milk

Tomato SoupThis is a simple, full-flavored version of tomato soup.  I’ve already posted Simply Tomato Soup (with Options) and this is more or less that.  But, I’ve tweaked and changed a few things and frankly, simplified the recipe.  This is in keeping with our recent discussions of “basic” soups.  And really, who doesn’t like a good, simple tomato soup?   Continue reading →

Shrimp-Avocado Cocktail

bacon, fresh herbs, Haas avocados, horseradish, jalapeño peppers, ketchup, lime juice, onion, Shrimp, Worcestershire sauce

Shrimp-Avocado CocktailThis is a nice alternative to the typical shrimp cocktail.  Also, it has dill.  Dill is an underused herb and it’s a great foil for shrimp.  Ketchup adds a little touch of sweetness and the lemon juice adds a nice little acidic bite…balance.  It’s all about balance, Baby!  Continue reading →
