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

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

Caponata is incredibly delicious. It is the perfect end-of-the-summer-garden dish to prepare. This version “twisted” or “evolved”, as I was searching through the garden. Only it’s roots are traditional. Then it wanders. And it wanders into pretty, delicious territory. Continue reading

I’ve been culling. I get too many magazines, though I’ve cut back hugely, but now and again, a person has to cull. So I was reading back issues of Fine Cooking, which I must say is the one magazine I find really difficulty to part with. So, so many delicious recipes, not mention good, solid cooking information. And lo and behold, I ran across Turkish Tarator Sauce. Continue reading

You know I adore eggplant. I don’t think I’ve ever met an eggplant dish I didn’t love. I’ve been thinking about stuffed eggplant, so I decided that today was the day. I was heading down the vegetarian path, adding lentils to give us that meaty texture. Then, I took another path…. Continue reading

What? Has The Goddess been smoking herbs again? You might think that, but this came to be because she forgot to make pizza dough. And anyway, this is pretty much pizza, cooked in an oven-to-table pan, finished in the oven and served with good Italian bread to scoop up all that yumminess. So, it’s pizza, without a crust.

You know how The Goddess is always going on about leftovers, right? Well, she decided that it might be helpful, if she posted some of the things she does with her leftovers. This Chicken Salad uses leftover Cumin-Garlic-Lime Chicken with Honey. Continue reading

Small meatballs are a great tapa. This is a really nice blend to form into patties for breakfast sausages, either with or without the mustard-cream sauce…though, you know…it’s all about the sauce! Or it should be. Continue reading

This rice is along the line of the everyday rice many Mexican cooks prepare. And it’s good. It’s really delicious. But, it’s so much more, because once you capture the basic, there are so many, many different flavor roads to travel down. Think of this as just the beginning of your culinary journey. Continue reading

You know how sometimes the culinary gods intervene? This dish came about because those gods were playing and romping through my life. However, as happens now and again, those gods led me to deliciousness! This is redolent with Mexican flavors, it’s filling and it’s flexible! Continue reading
