These little oozy, gooey squares of rich, chewy chocolate goodness are perfect for…well pretty much anytime. I’ve been making a non-chocolate based version of these for years. Yeah, alright…I should have thought about this sooner, but I didn’t. Better late than never. Continue reading

This is more or less the dressing of my childhood. I love, love, love stuffing or dressing. You can keep the turkey, but keep the dressing coming. This is herby and oniony and just plain wonderful…it wreaks of the holidays. Continue reading

This is a more substantial cornbread than the Sour Cream Cornbread I posted a while back. That version is my favorite for serving as a side, slathered with butter and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. But this version holds up better for stuffing (or dressing). Continue reading

This is a really nice addition to your Sunday brunch or for this season, Thanksgiving day breakfast. We had a slice with some salad for a nice, light supper, and as a side with a bowl of Creamy Mushroom-Pumpkin Soup with Sherry. I think if might be good with gravy, as in biscuits and gravy…just a thought! Continue reading

Caramel sauce is spectacularly good. It’s rich. It’s easy. And it’s always good to have some in the fridge, waiting for just the right moment. You know, like when the sun rises in the east. So grab a spoon. Continue reading

I know, I know. Everyone knows how to microwave sweet corn. That’s nothing new. But, this method was new to me—cooking the corn with the husks and silk intact! It works like a charm, it’s unbelievably simple and most importantly, it is absolutely delicious. Continue reading

I had fresh garlic scapes, so I thought before I froze some, I’d make garlic butter. You know it’s just good to have some scapes in freezer, you know. So you can make this all year long. Anyway, I was feeling the need for garlic bread. Turns out, adding scapes to regular garlic butter, was a good choice. Great on bread and on a steak…heaven! Continue reading

The Goddess loves onions (and all of the lily family, including the flowers!). She uses them with complete abandon. A hamburger is not to be eaten without onion. Several thin slices of raw red or Vidalia onion, is hamburger heaven for her and The Spicy Honey. Continue reading

This is The Goddess’s first posting from rainy South Florida, and what better meal than red snapper and shrimp with a great sauce? (Did I mention, it’s all about the sauce? I did…oh, okay!) I had forgotten how often it rains here, but that did not dampen our dinner, the first one together in our little furnished apartment…it’s like we’re newlyweds again! Continue reading
