I 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. Continue reading

Moqueca is the perfect buffet dish, it’s loaded with flavor, is best made ahead and did I mention, it’s spectacularly delicious…it’s that delicious part you need to focus on. This is a great dish to ring in the new year…Happy New Year, one and all! Continue reading

The Goddess loves those lovely little dishes the Spanish have given us—tapas! An array of tapas is a favorite way that we like to entertain. I’ve shared some with you in the past, but there are more…oh, yes, many more! Continue reading

These green beans are quick and delicious. You may think of green beans almondine, but this isn’t quite them. Way more garlic. They’re superb with fish and chicken, but personally, The Goddess could simply eat bowls and bowls of these, with nothing else. So good. Continue reading

With flu season upon us with a vengeance, I thought this was a good time of year to make a brothy, vegetable soup. There are a few beans tossed in, but they were more of an afterthought. This soup is all about vegetables, is slightly salty and will warm you to your bones. Continue reading

This is a slightly fruity version of cornbread dressing, but with savory flavors dancing around in the back. Cornbread and apple compliment each other, then throw in the bacon and cheese that temper the sweetness and add a lovely savory aspect. Continue reading

I was reading The Wok of Life blog yesterday. Those gals (I think they’re women) have some unbelievable taste buds. They made this, but of course, The Goddess changed a few things around. Okay, she changed a lot. Either way, you’re gonna’ love this. Continue reading

We ate a lot of Three Bean Salad when I was a kid. During the summer, my mother made it frequently. I think it was because we all liked it, it made a huge batch and it kept well. All that, and we had almost everything growing in the garden. I started with her recipe, then took a flying leap! 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. Either way, it’s delicious. Continue reading

Who the hell is Dom Pedro you’re asking? And what does he have to do with pot roast? The Portuguese-born Dom Pedro I was the first ruler of the Empire of Brazil back in the 19th century. He has nothing to do with pot roast per se, but here we join together some of the best of both Portuguese and Brazilian flavors, for a winning combination. Continue reading
