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!

Risoles (risole is the singular) are one of our best food memories from out time in Brazil. That’s saying something, because there was no shortage of spectacularly good food. Risoles are a form of croquette. They are deep-fried, crispy little bites of heaven. Or about 2-3 bites, usually with a creamy filling; shrimp, hearts of palm, cheese, etc. But they are the stuff of dreams. 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

It’s that time of year. The lazy, hazy days of summer. The hammock and a tall, cold drink. And then there’s the zucchini. Don’t you love that first zucchini? You sauté it and relish its fresh, clean flavor, thinking, “I could eat these forever”. Continue reading

It’s all about the sauce. And this is a fantastic version, the Russian Sable of Fudge Sauces. This is THE Fudge Sauce. Okay, so you get that it’s really good, right? The Flying Librarian makes a hot fudge that may, may be even better than this, but she refuses to give me the recipe…some nonsense about swearing on her son’s life, so she won’t give out the recipe. Sometimes you just have to take the risk. It’s fudge sauce. Is she kidding? Continue reading

This most enjoyable combination of flavors is not only delicious, and that it is, but it can be served as either a salad or as a warm side dish. The Goddess loves the duality of this delightfully, deliriously delicious dish. Continue reading

These potatoes are my go-to potato dish in winter or summer. These morsels are the epitome of flexible and the leftovers…funny, there never seems to be any leftovers! These potatoes are a perfect side dish for entertaining. So put on the potatoes, pour yourself a glass of iced tea…yeah, you thought I was going to say “wine”, didn’t you? The Goddess is not that predictable! Continue reading

Rhubarb is spring and early summer. How something so sour, when mixed with a bit of sugar and/or strawberries can taste so good, is beyond the scope of The Goddess’s comprehension…but delicious it is. I’m partial to rhubarb crisp, rather than pie. I love the buttery, crunching topping and when I make a pie, I prefer to use this topping. Continue reading

Granola seems to be a flash back to the 60’s. It shouldn’t be. This is THE recipe for granola. Seriously. Superlatives aside. This is so good you won’t stop eating it until your jaws get tired. Then you’ll rest and go right back in for more! Truly, it is without a doubt, the best granola you will ever toss over your teeth! It’s good stirred into yogurt, it’s great sprinkled gingerly over a scoop of ice cream and fantastic eaten just as it is. Continue reading
