carrot, Cauliflower, cheese, Garlic, herbs, marinara sauce, Mushrooms, Onions, patty-pan squash, sun-dried tomatoes, toasted walnuts
This is a perfect and perfectly delicious vegetarian entrée. Of course, you can stuff zucchini, but if you can get your hands on some patty pan squash, grab ’em up. They’re just so much more fun. These reheat well, so they can be prepared when you have time and then you can simply reheat for a nice mid-week meal. Continue reading

Whaaaaat? Clementines, in fried rice? There are all sorts of recipes in Asian cooking that use orange/Mandarin/tangerine. Orange chicken? Tangerine Beef (or chicken)? So why not fried rice? Oh, you noticed the bacon, too, did you? Continue reading

The Goddess has never been all that enamored with chicken burgers per se. Having said that, these beauties are different. Chicken burgers tend toward the dry, but not these babies. They are jam-packed with flavor, and the Thai chili sauce and cucumbers add that sweet and extra crunch that is just ooooh! so lovely. Continue reading

The weather outside is frightful! Chili is just this thing to take a bite out of the cold. I know we’ve explored Chili with all the Good Stuff! in the past. Though similar, this version is much closer to the chili my mother made, out there on the Prairie. I make us sound like the Wilder’s from “Little House on the Prairie”, don’t I? However, I don’t recall that they made chili! Continue reading

As I mentioned in the post for the Broccoli-Apple Slaw with Cranberries, I’ve discovered broccoli slaw, that mixture of shredded broccoli that lives in the produce department of your supermarket. We really liked that slaw, but it’s not exactly a “classic” slaw. So why not make a more classic version of coleslaw, but using the broccoli instead? Seriously. Why not? We’re flexible, aren’t we and this is just as delicious. Maybe even better. Continue reading

Corn cakes are a nice change of pace and a really wonderful option to use up leftover corn-on-the-cob. Zucchini and tomato just seemed like a natural fit. And I think it was. Continue reading

First, let’s get something straight. The Goddess loves chicken salad. She’s never met one she didn’t like, except for that one with chocolate chips in it. It turns out that chocolate doesn’t make everything taste better! Continue reading

Ramen noodles, the old stand-by late night snack of college students, but in a salad. Some iteration of this salad has been around for a number of years. This version runs smack-dab into peanut noodles. Who knew Ramen could be so good? Continue reading

Nutmeg is an interesting spice. The holiday season wouldn’t be complete without it. Apple and pumpkin pies and who doesn’t love egg nog? Nutmeg works on both sweet and savory levels, though most of us think of it as a sweet spice, but today let me introduce you to its savory side. Continue reading
