We just finished exploring the Art Fair in Boca Raton, and we were hungry. So we checked out “BBQ near me”—isn’t technology great? Anyway, less than a mile away was “Mississippi Sweets BBQ Co”. Thanks, Siri…what a find. Continue reading

In my recipe box, this is called “Southern Confetti Salad”. And it does look like confetti, doesn’t it? But, that doesn’t really tell us much about this salad. It is a great option for a summer picnic salad, as it’s both easy and can sit out for a bit. But, it’s just as good in the dead of winter, with two feet of snow on the ground. Did I mention that it’s also delicious? Continue reading

I like lentils. Actually, as far as legumes go, I think lentils may be my favorite. The Latin Lover is, shall we say, less fond of them. A bad childhood memory. But I’m trying to convert him. It’s always good to eradicate a bad childhood food memory and create a new, all-gown-up food memory! I think this soup may have done it! Continue reading

‘Tis the time of year, and as you know, The Goddess loves her cranberry sauce. She loves homemade cranberry sauce. She loves the stuff in the cans, too. She’s been pining for cranberry sauce for months, so she began by making a double batch. Hey, cranberries are only around for a short time, but cranberry sauce can be forever! Well, almost….

Panzanella or Fattoush? That is the question. In reality, they are pretty much the same salad…and yet, not. That makes no sense, does it? At their roots, they are both bread salads, with good veggies tossed in. But it is all about the bread or the pita, and with this version, you don’t have to choose between the two…Fattoush-azella!

With the heat of summer around the corner, and sort of already here in South Florida, (though it is raining today) I decided it was time to make ceviche. Ceviche is probably the quintessential summer (read “hot weather”) dish. But, the thing is, it is barely springtime, so I thought some spring fruit might be a nice addition. Maybe even some diced sugar snap peas or asparagus…. Continue reading

It’s all about the sauce. It really is. But, you already know this. A sauce can make the ordinary, a truly extraordinary culinary experience. So, we’re going to talk about sauces over the next little while. Let’s go…. Continue reading

I was going to call this Tropical Cranberry Sauce, but that’s way too vague. And I want you to try this. It uses some of the most wonderful flavors of the Tropics, but still retains a familiarity to the more traditional version. Continue reading

This is a really nice addition to your Sunday brunch or for this season, Thanksgiving day breakfast. We had a slice with some salad for a nice, light supper, and as a side with a bowl of Creamy Mushroom-Pumpkin Soup with Sherry. I think if might be good with gravy, as in biscuits and gravy…just a thought! Continue reading

I love Three Bean Salad. It always seems to be on the summer dinner tables, but it is truly good all year long. Anyway, I was hungry for it, but I decided to make a slightly different version than the one my mother made, which I have always loved. I added corn and potatoes. It works. It works well.
