These probably aren’t what you think of when you think of enchiladas. And that’s okay. Though these aren’t very traditional, they are truly delicious. They are also a great way to use up your leftover Thanksgiving turkey…timely, huh? Continue reading

It’s autumn in New England. Okay, so it’s autumn everywhere, but New England autumns are a Currier & Ives-type of beautiful. This is The Goddess’s time of year. There’s that little nip in the air, but no frost on the shrinking, post-Halloween pumpkins just yet. The flavors of fall are big, bold flavors. This sauce is a perfect mid-week sauce, but why wait?

When The Middle Son and The Unbound Reader joined forces, their wedding brunch was catered by The Red Blazer in Concord, NH. They make a Breakfast Lasagna, that had all of us tripping over each other to get another piece. We had all moved on from the real reason we were there. We were all there for the Breakfast Lasagna!

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

Okay…it was late and I hadn’t really planned dinner. The Latin Lover loves mac and cheese; he loves chili dogs…hmmm…what to make? What to make? And then it hit me like a pasta pot upside the head…why not combine the two? Continue reading

I have a confession. I’ve never been that big a fan of buffalo chicken wings. I don’t know why, but I was always more interested in the celery and bleu cheese dressing. I love bleu cheese; I’m weird that way. With Super Bowl looming on the not-too-distant horizon, I got to thinking about other possibilities and this is what I came up with…Buffalo Chicken Sauce on Pasta. Continue reading

Scallops are divine, don’t you think? Sea scallops are these perfect orbs, rich and tasty, velvety on the tongue and Oh! so easy. I’m seriously not kidding when I tell you they cook in under 5 minutes. A searing hot skillet, a small smackerel of butter and in 5 minutes you can be sitting down to a terrific dinner. Continue reading

I love leftovers. I guess there are those that don’t and that’s okay, but I think they are missing out on the possibility of change. I love change. With leftovers, you can change the turkey that didn’t make into the mouths of hungry holiday diners, into something else, Continue reading
