Pears and bleu cheese have a natural affinity for each other.  They are a perfect pair (pun intended!), so to speak.  But, you might be rather surprised to learn that they’re also up for a threesome, with that sexy minx, cauliflower.  Continue reading →

Asparagus with Bleu CheeseIt’s getting to be that time of year, when things are coming up fresh and verdant.  The asparagus spears will soon be sprouting up in the garden, or in my supermarket “garden”.  The nice fat spears are calling my name, they’re on sale and baby, The Goddess is buying!   Continue reading →

Pasta with Butternut-Bacon Cream Sauce with SageIt’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?  Continue reading →

Salad of Belgian & Blue with Strawberries and Dijon-Tarragon VinaigretteThis is another KayJay invention.  This is a nice winter salad.  It’s more substantial than its leafier counterparts, can be made ahead and doesn’t go all limp and mushy.  Belgian endive have a slight, but pleasant bitterness that just works with KayJay’s Dijon-Tarragon Vinaigrette.   Continue reading →

Roasted Caulflower with Bleu Cheese and Buffalo SauceBuffalo-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 →

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 →

Caramelized Onion and Dried Fruit “Jam”

bleu cheese, Dried Fruit, onion, port, vinegar

Caramelized Onion and Dried Fruit "Jam"Caramelized onions are for more than French onion soup, which is good…in fact very good, but add dried fruit, in this case mission figs, cranberries, some ruby port and other nice things, to those onions and you’ve created The Little Condiment that Could make dirt taste good!  Since The Goddess has been on a bleu cheese kick recently (we’ll save dirt for another time, okay?), she decided this “jam” was just what she needed for a grilled bleu cheese sandwich.  Life is STILL good.  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 →

Midwestern Cauliflower-Cheddar Soup…with a Twist!

21 Wednesday Jan 2015

apple cider, Beer, bleu cheese, broth, Cauliflower, Celery, cheddar cheese, heavy cream, Onions, roasted garlic

There are as many versions of cheese soups as there are brands of beer…well maybe not quite THAT many versions.  This version uses a lager/apple cider reduction, potato and cauliflower as part of the ingredients.  It’s yummy and creamy, like it should be, but there isn’t as much added heavy cream (or no cream at all, if you so choose), therefore we cut some calories, still have the creaminess we adore and add lovely flavors, too.  Continue reading →
