This is a light, but moist cake, with a nice pure flavor and a great texture. It doesn’t have an over-pronounced banana flavor. It’s subtle. And it’s tropical, with bananas, coconut and rum. Continue reading

This is a fun little breakfast or supper dish. I got this from the folks over at Serious Eats. Those people are geniuses. This is a slightly different way of folding the crêpe than we normally see. But, delicious these are. Continue reading

Crêpes are wonderfully flexible, but not eaten nearly enough. They seem to have become passé. They’re no longer as exotic or sexy, as they once were. And, it’s a damn shame, I tell you. So let’s bring them back. Continue reading

I forget about meatloaf and I don’t know why. We love it. It’s goes together quickly. It practically bakes itself and damn, it’s just so delicious. And best of all, it makes great sandwiches. I’ve already given you Roadhouse Meatloaf, but you should have this one, too. Continue reading

These little oozy, gooey squares of rich, chewy chocolate goodness are perfect for…well pretty much anytime. I’ve been making a non-chocolate based version of these for years. Yeah, alright…I should have thought about this sooner, but I didn’t. Better late than never. Continue reading

This is a more substantial cornbread than the Sour Cream Cornbread I posted a while back. That version is my favorite for serving as a side, slathered with butter and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. But this version holds up better for stuffing (or dressing). Continue reading

This is a really nice addition to your Sunday brunch or for this season, Thanksgiving day breakfast. We had a slice with some salad for a nice, light supper, and as a side with a bowl of Creamy Mushroom-Pumpkin Soup with Sherry. I think if might be good with gravy, as in biscuits and gravy…just a thought! Continue reading

Cassata is a wonderful dessert. It’s perhaps, sponge cake at its very best. Brush on some Lemoncello®, smear on a ricotta-mascarpone filling and serve with a wonderfully fresh, macerated fruit compote and YUM! There’s just one other thing…this has to be made ahead, which makes it the perfect dinner party dessert. Continue reading

We love Eggs Benedict. But, really. Who doesn’t? This is the perfect make ahead, ready-in-the-fridge sort of breakfast, or any meal for that matter. The Goddess knows a homemade hollandaise is always the way to go, but she’s a realist. She knows there are those among us, including herself, that periodically has a lapse and wants to just make things easy, so we use a mix. She forgives these little human foibles. 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
