I must confess, The Goddess has never met an eggplant she hasn’t loved. I’m afraid it’s true. And The Latin Lover is okay with it, so don’t worry. He knows all about it. This original recipe came from Epicurious and of course, The Goddess made a few little changes. Continue reading

I was trying to think of some catchy title for this to tie into the 4th, and I had a slew of them, but none quite captured what I was trying to convey, so I decided that straight-forward was the way to go.

Green Goddess dressing isn’t something you see too often anymore and that’s a shame. Its beautiful green color adds freshness to any table or dish.

There’s not much better with a hot dog, and yes, Virginia, that’s ketchup on the hot dog…get over it! Continue reading

These potatoes are my go-to potato dish in winter or summer. These morsels are the epitome of flexible and the leftovers…funny, there never seems to be any leftovers! These potatoes are a perfect side dish for entertaining. So put on the potatoes, pour yourself a glass of iced tea…yeah, you thought I was going to say “wine”, didn’t you? The Goddess is not that predictable! Continue reading

Chimichurri is to Argentina what pesto is to southern Italy. I mean it is really about the same thing. Chimichurri, (and isn’t that just fun to say?) is usually chopped herbs, languishing in a lovely pool of good olive oil, rather than the more emulsified pesto. This is a drizzle sauce….
