I’ve been thinking about Greek flavors recently. Who knows why? Maybe it’s the warm weather. Those flavors—oregano, lemon, garlic, just seem so say, “Summer is here”. And salmon is the perfect foil for these flavors. Continue reading

This is perhaps one of The Goddess’s favorite recipes. She could live on this. Originally she marinated whole chickens, then she grilled them over indirect heat. It doesn’t get much better than that. Continue reading

This is probably the perfect summer appetizer. Okay, so it’s really good anytime of the year. But, just in case you’ve been living in a cage, it’s officially summer, so we’re going to be making these lovelies. We’re going to be making these a lot. So you’re on notice. Continue reading

This is a nice little salad to have in your repertoire. It is the perfect summer salad, but joy of joys, since good cucumbers, a.k.a. English cucumbers are available year round, it’s a non-seasonal salad or side. It packs a nice kick of heat and garlic…Vampires beware! Continue reading

KayJay, the love of The Eldest One’s life, is a treasure. And on top of that, she makes some of the best salads you will ever care to eat. They are works of art, I tell ‘ya, and this one is no different. The salad is excellent, but the Dijon-Tarragon Vinaigrette is spectacularly good. Continue reading

I just ran across a recipe for Chicken Mole Casserole on the Food & Wine website. And I do mean I “just” found it. It sounded great; I liked the idea of it. It just seemed like the perfect thing for dinner, so I made it, or rather my version of it. And it was on the table in 20 minutes! What a great weeknight or Friday-night-after-work-instead-of-pizza dinner! Continue reading

I just saw an article on the Epicurious website about spicy honey. Sweet and heat are spectacular together. Some things are just meant to be…like Fred and Ginger, salt and pepper, beer and pizza (a holdover from college, I think) to name a few. Continue reading

This is a great marinade. It is rather naturally Latin by ingredients and works great with chicken breasts. It marries frozen orange juice concentrate, lime juice, with some garlic, herbs and spices. But, there’s a secret ingredient…. Continue reading

This is it! The chicken you won’t be able to stop eating. You may abandon supermarket-roasted chickens forever! The flavors are very similar to Lechon Asado from a much earlier post, but it’s the Honey-Lime Drizzle that will make you weak in knees. Continue reading

The key to really good tuna, is to purchase the freshest tuna you can and then, not over-cooking them. They should be red in the very center and pink at the very least, with no more than 1/4-inch edge of doneness, less if possible. The truly wonderful part of all this is, tuna steaks can be cooked and on the table in less than 10 minutes! Continue reading
