This is a summer salad. Yes, it can be made anytime of the year, but when the cucumbers and tomatoes are in season, it’s spectacular. It’s a nice picnic or BBQ side, too. And as always, it’s very flexible. But, no matter what options you choose, it’s delicious. Continue reading

This is summer…or in this case, late spring, on a plate. It’s perfect for lunch or dinner, and can go main course by adding some shrimp or tuna. Use whatever beans you have in your cupboard, but garbanzo or kidney are my favorite for this salad. Continue reading

Though The Goddess tends toward being heavy-handed with garnishes on curry, this chicken curry has a very subtle curry flavor. The flavors intermingle and literally “bounce” around your palate, but the “curry flavor” is a back flavor. And, this curry is fast enough for a mid-week family meal and tasty enough for company.

I love Three Bean Salad. It always seems to be on the summer dinner tables, but it is truly good all year long. Anyway, I was hungry for it, but I decided to make a slightly different version than the one my mother made, which I have always loved. I added corn and potatoes. It works. It works well.
