Remember back when I posted Strawberry-Lemon Blondie Bars, I mentioned that I thought instead of strawberries, I wanted to use nectarines and blueberries. It was a good thought and it’s a wonderful combination. Continue reading

I’ve had Banh Mi on my mind recently. At this point, venturing out for a Banh Mi, is foolishly indulgent, no matter how good it is. And these are good! Solution? Make some for the The Latin Lover and me. To that end, a meatloaf seemed like the place to start. This is that meatloaf. Continue reading

These just positively fly together…like about 5 minutes. It takes longer to dice up the strawberries than it does to actually make the recipe. Oh, so delicious…and easy, too! Continue reading

This is a nice little loaf to have in your fridge. It makes a nice sandwich, a lovely addition to a charcuterie with some cornichons or for a light lunch or supper with some good mustard. Continue reading

Small meatballs are a great tapa. This is a really nice blend to form into patties for breakfast sausages, either with or without the mustard-cream sauce…though, you know…it’s all about the sauce! Or it should be. Continue reading

This was a revelation for The Goddess. Who would have thought this would be such a winning combination? I’ve been reveling in leftover Oma’s Sauerkraut with Apple, Onion and Bacon and have I been enjoying it. In that posting, I think I mentioned sautéed sauerkraut with fried eggs over the top for breakfast. This is just a waltz one step further down that road! Continue reading

Parsnips are one of the things I always look forward to when autumn rolls around. Beef Barley Soup just isn’t as good without a parsnip. Neither is a good beef stew. I know it’s spring and it’s the end of the parsnip season, but think of these little discs of goodness as the last parsnip hurrah! Continue reading

Think schnitzel, with Asian flavors. Why not? It’s crispy. It’s complex. It’s delicious. Did I mention that it’s best marinated ahead of time, so there’s minimal last minute prep? Now, I have your attention…. Continue reading

Do you have leftover Picadillo Cubano? It makes a great filling for empanadas, and I threw a ripe plantain for good measure. It was (note the past tense!) delicious. The perfect light supper for The Latin Lover, after his return from the airport. Yes, he travels a bit, leaving The Goddess to wander and get into all sorts of trouble. Continue reading

There’s something about pies and men…well women, too. From time to time we have folks over for dinner and when The Goddess decides it will be pie for dessert, she’s always bemused by the reaction people (read “men” here!) have. They get sort of glassy-eyed, perhaps a tear forms and then they get this satisfied grin, “There’s going to be pie for dessert….” Continue reading
