Cheesy Beef and Shrimp SandwichI had lunch at Havana Harry’s (4612 S Le Jeune Rd, Coral Gables, FL 33146), with some wonderful friends who are not so near, but very dear to The Goddess and The Latin Lover.  Food is always better shared with good friends, don’t you think?  This is The Goddess’s version of their sandwich.

Creamed Spinach with Summer Squash and Corn CasseroleThe Goddess loves creamed spinach, but for some reason, she doesn’t make it too frequently.  It’s particularly nice with steak, don’t you think?  Well, she was serving steak with Bleu Cheese Butter and Mocha-Merlot Sauce with Shallots.  So, creamed spinach seemed like a good idea…but then… Continue reading →

cream cheese, dill pickles, fresh herbs, Greek-style yogurt, seasonings, Shallots

Burger with Dill Pickle SchmearI’m calling this a schmear.  But, you can call it whatever your little heart desires…a dip, a spread, a condiment…you get the picture.  If you enjoy dill pickles, you’re going to love this.  It is THE perfect “special sauce” to schmear on a burger!  Think about it….

Creamy Herb, Garlic and Lemon SpreadI love Boursin™ cheese, and I make a pretty decent facsimile, Almost Boursin Cheese Spread (Almost!) in a previous post.  So anyway, I was sitting, sipping and musing.  Goddesses do that sometimes.  You should try it.  The things one thinks up…and this was one of those things.  Continue reading →

Cuban Ham Dip-Updated!

ball park mustard, bread & butter pickles, cream cheese, garlic granules, Ham, parsley flakes, red onion, roasted red peppers, sherry vinegar, Worcestershire sauce

Cuban Ham Dip-UpdatedThe original Cuban Ham Dip is delicious.  It is.  But, it’s evolved.  The Latin Lover likes the evolution.  He thinks it’s even better than the original.  It still has a smoky, sweet-sharp flavor, and it’s still creamy and robust.  But, it’s more complex.  It makes a great sandwich.  Or maybe a Super Bowl slider?  Continue reading →

Paprika-Caraway Cheese SpreadI won’t even pretend this is a Liptauer-like cheese spread.  Because, it isn’t that.  I think we can assume its roots live there, but it matters not.  It’s truly delightful schmeared on a bagel.  Continue reading →

Jalapeño Popper-Stuffed Chicken ThighsBoneless chicken thighs are a natural for stuffing.   The cheese-stuffed jalapeño is a perfect way to keep the cheese from oozing out of the thigh and giving the whole thing a nice little Zing!!  A pan sauce, a Cuban tamale and dinner is served.  Continue reading →

Cuban Ham Dip

cream cheese, Dijon mustard, Ham, onion, roasted red bell pepper, sweet pickle relish

039Ham Dip, well that’s what we call it, but it’s really more of a spread than a dip.  It has a lovely, smoky, sweet-sharp creamy flavor, rather complex and robust.  It’s great on a cracker, but makes a great sandwich, keeps well in the fridge and is best made at least 24 hours ahead, making it perfect for entertaining.  Continue reading →

021Boursin Cheese is wonderful.  It’s rich, creamy, herbaceous, with a nice hit of garlic and best of all, it’s incredibly simple to make.  In other words, it’s the holiday seasons perfect “little something special”; the little black dress of appetizers.  Oh yes, did I mention that it is a perfect hostess gift?   Continue reading →
