Is this really Sicilian? Perhaps, if The Goddess lived in a Sicilian village she would be making this dish, with many of the flavors—tomato, capers, olives, garlic, orange (there it is again!) and some fennel—that are so prevalent in Sicilian cooking. This turned out to be delicious, so she will be making this frequently. Continue reading

Roasted vegetables are a thing of beauty, with their intense flavor and wonderful textural qualities, with just a hint of smokiness from the grill. With good bread, then make a wonderful Muffuletta that would make New Orleans proud! Continue reading

As you can see, there isn’t too much that’s green about this sauce, except the cilantro in the “red onion salsa”. There was a plan, but then I browned the meat, and it left behind a great fond, so what’s a Goddess to do? She goes to plan B, of course. And this is Plan B…Pork with Sweet Potatoes and Green Chiles!

Ramen noodles are good. I don’t care what anyone says, they are a quick and easy lunch, snack or as here, dinner. The folks over at epicurious.com recently published something on Korean ramen, that messes with the cooking procedure. They could be on to something…. Continue reading

Last year I shared my recipe for one of The Spicy Honey’s favorite dish, Boliche, the Cuban version of pot roast, with cubes of good things stuffed in the middle of it. This isn’t that. Boliche is wonderfully tasty; it is using the eye of the round. But, I have a chuck roast. So why, The Goddess asked herself, not make pot roast, using the same ingredients, just not stuffed into the hunk of meat? Continue reading

KayJay, the love of The Eldest One’s life, is a treasure. And on top of that, she makes some of the best salads you will ever care to eat. They are works of art, I tell ‘ya, and this one is no different. The salad is excellent, but the Dijon-Tarragon Vinaigrette is spectacularly good. Continue reading

I just ran across a recipe for Chicken Mole Casserole on the Food & Wine website. And I do mean I “just” found it. It sounded great; I liked the idea of it. It just seemed like the perfect thing for dinner, so I made it, or rather my version of it. And it was on the table in 20 minutes! What a great weeknight or Friday-night-after-work-instead-of-pizza dinner! Continue reading

These Holiday Mashed Potatoes are the bomb! They are the perfect foil for a beautiful prime rib or any roast, for that matter. You can follow the recipe for Mashed Potato Perfection, and just make a couple of minor adjustments and additions. Would The Goddess steer you wrong in the holiday season? I think not!

Almost every Sunday, when we lived in São Paulo, we would walk over to the bakery just down the hill from our apartment, and buy 2 chickens. Even today, I can almost smell the aroma wafting up from the bakery, more than 15 years later. They were a memory that was worth trying to recreate. Continue reading
