Eggs and bacon go together like…well, bacon and eggs! These are really the basic recipe for deviled eggs. The garnish is up to you, but we like bacon, a sprinkle of fresh snipped chives and tonight, a thin slice of a cherry tomato. The Latin Lover will be happy, as he loves deviled eggs. Continue reading

Anyone you knows The Goddess, knows that her refrigerator is always bursting at the seams. The reason? One word…condiments. Condiments and sauces are where it’s at. It’s such a luxury to have jars of sauces, relishes or chutney tucked away, just waiting to be smeared on crackers, or added to a grilled cheese. Or serve alongside your Thanksgiving turkey, which is a nice change from, or in addition to, cranberry relish. Continue reading

Fruit relishes are a wonderful way to preserve have the summer flavors on the autumn and winter table. I love these with Thanksgiving turkey and don’t get me started on how good this relish is on a turkey sandwich. Not only that, fruit relishes are relatively easy. 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

I picked up a bag of broccoli slaw, when the store was out of regular slaw. I’m so glad I did. I love the stuff, but The Goddess has never met a piece of broccoli she didn’t love. There must be a little Italian blood in her veins, rather than the rumored ice water. Continue reading

That’s right…those Cubans even have their own version of a burger…the Frita. This is a burger made with pork or a combination of beef and pork, seasoned, fried, placed on a bun, drizzled with a creamy sauce and shoestring potato sticks all over the top. I’ll just let you think about that for a moment…. Continue reading

KayJay, the love of The Eldest One’s life, is a treasure. And on top of that, she makes some of the best salads you will ever care to eat. They are works of art, I tell ‘ya, and this one is no different. The salad is excellent, but the Dijon-Tarragon Vinaigrette is spectacularly good. Continue reading

‘Tis the time of year! This is a great gift from the kitchen, though admittedly The Goddess has been know to plan to give this away, and it never quite makes it out of the kitchen. So she’s sharing the recipe with you, just in case you don’t receive a jar, now you can make it yourself. Continue reading
