I saw this on a Facebook page I follow. It looked so delicious and we haven’t had chicken. My version is based on a Jamie Oliver recipe, but I roamed pretty freely from his version. You know, The Goddess is a born culinary wanderer. Continue reading

So we had Vietnamese-Flavored Meatloaf on Friday, and it’s hot today, so perfect day to satisfy my Banh Mi craving. But, I decided to lighten it up a bit and make a wrap, instead of a sandwich…and I didn’t have the bread, but I did have flour tortillas. Continue reading

Fish curries don’t seem to be as popular as chicken, lamb or vegetable curries. It’s too bad, because fish curries are really good. This curry uses both fish and shrimp, which work very well together…friendly creatures of the sea, swimming together in a nice tomato-based curry sauce. Continue reading

Lentils make a nice “bed” for some lovely roasted chicken. Or a piece of grilled fish or pork chop. Think lentils, instead of rice, pasta or potatoes. And lentils offer some terrific vitamins and minerals, too. Oh yes, did I mention they are also delicious? Continue reading

I was reading The Wok of Life blog yesterday. Those gals (I think they’re women) have some unbelievable taste buds. They made this, but of course, The Goddess changed a few things around. Okay, she changed a lot. Either way, you’re gonna’ love this. Continue reading

This salad is good at any time of the year. It is a great summer salad, as no mayo, but it also is lovely in the autumn, when the leaves turn about the same color as the salad. Make it the day ahead and chill it overnight. But, it’s best eaten at room temperature. Add some red chile flakes for a little heat, when the thermometer dips. Continue reading

I adore ensalada rusa, or Russian Potato Salad. When we were in Spain, I ate every version I could find and no two were exactly the same. Isn’t that what makes cooking and dining interesting? This version, which contains beets, if both beautiful and refreshing. Continue reading
