Unless your roots lie in Italy, polenta may be pretty unfamiliar. It certainly was for The Goddess. But, she’s a convert. This is a great starting place, if you’ve never made polenta. You can do this and polenta with corn and cheese is just so delicious. Continue reading

The Spicy Honey loves his mushroom soup. Usually, he’s happy with the canned stuff, but this is so simple to make; it is really soooooo delicious. I thought I probably should share the recipe. Because, you need to make this. Continue reading

This is a savory option for our crêpes. It’s pretty much a chicken enchilada, but with crêpes, duh. The sauce is lovely and loaded with flavor. Even though it has heavy cream, using broth lightens the sauce. Continue reading

It IS all about the sauce. And this is the perfect sauce for pork chops or tenderloin. It’s one of those make-in-the-pan-you-cooked-the-pork-in-sauces. It’s quick and easy to prepare and the pan drippings make a perfect base. Continue reading

September is National Papaya Month. I just found this out, but you all probably knew that. Who decides this sort of thing, I wonder? Well, if we’re going to honor the papaya, then let’s see what we can do with this lovely, velvety, rich fruit other than eat it for breakfast. Savory. That’s what I was looking for. And this sauce is savory, rich, subtly sweet and has a wonderful texture. Continue reading
