This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_8564-2-e1611524829864.jpgThis is a nice change of pace from regular rice.  Truth be told, The Goddess isn’t too enamored with rice.  Oh, it has its purpose.  Rice is good as a sponge to suck up sauces, but The Goddess will always, always take potatoes.  But, this rice…mmmmm!  This rice pilaf is delicious.   Continue reading →

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_0474.jpgBrussels Sprout and Fennel Chowder.  Hmmmm.  Intriguing, no?  There’s cabbage soup, so why not Brussels sprouts, in liquid form.  Well, folks, it works and it works well.  This soup is vegetarian, even vegan, if you omit the cheese (but why would you?).  It’s filling, without being heavy. And most importantly, it just tastes really, really delicious.  Continue reading →

Basil, broth, Cauliflower, Corn, Garlic, Leeks, Rice, Spices, sun-dried tomatoes, white wine

Okay.  Right off I want you to know that The Goddess is misleading you.  Yup.  She’s leading you down the culinary garden path.  She broiled the corn; she has no grill.  And creamy?  There is no cream, either.  But, I’m here to tell you.  This is truly delicious! Continue reading →

capers, clam juice, dry sherry, Garlic, Leeks, marcona almonds, Monkfish, olive oil, olives, roasted peppers, sweet smoked paprika

Monkfish is an ugly, ugly fish, but I have memories of watching Julia years ago, with this massive, ugly fish, holding it up by the tail.  When I’ve prepared it, I wasn’t happy with the results…I’ve grilled it, sautéed it, roasted it and while the flavor was nice, the texture was not to my liking.  Let’s just say, it was a little too chewy.  It always seemed underdone.  Then, I tried braising it.  Bingo!  From now on, this is my go-to way to cook monkfish.

Vegetable Soup with Italian FlavorsWith flu season upon us with a vengeance, I thought this was a good time of year to make a brothy, vegetable soup.  There are a few beans tossed in, but they were more of an afterthought.  This soup is all about vegetables, is slightly salty and will warm you to your bones.  Continue reading →

Apple-Cranberry Cornbread DressingThis 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 →

Caramelized Three-Onion Crôustade with Apple Butter, Feta and Bacon

apple butter, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, feta cheese, Leeks, pre-cooked bacon, refrigerated pastry, Shallots, Vidalia onions

Caramelized onions….mmmmm…a little sweet, a little sour, and just plain yummy.  The apple butter, with its hint of cinnamon, the saltiness of the feta and the crispness of the bacon juxtaposed against the creaminess of the caramelized onions, makes for a perfect “storm” of flavor!  Continue reading →

Chilled Princess-and-the-Pea SoupPeas are taken for granted.  They are served on the side of something else and well, they’re green and most people like them.  You know, we really need to take another look at peas.  This soup is superb for a hot summer night.  It beautiful.  It’s refreshing and more importantly, it is delicious.  Continue reading →

Goddess of the Sea CakesI really do so enjoy imitation crab meat.  I know it’s not crab meat.  I just like it.  It’s never fishy when it’s heated.  It has a nice consistency, it’s easy to work with and it just tastes so good.  And it was really good in these patties.  Continue reading →

Citrus-Roasted Persian Chicken ThighsThe Goddess was out and about today in search of yarn.  That’s right.  She doesn’t live by cooking alone!  Anyway, she was planning on have lunch at Torange.  And sadness…they’ve closed.  They were such lovely people and the food was wonderful.  They were even nice enough to sell her sumac and barberry, which, if you aren’t familiar with either of these, you need to find them and start using them.  So, in memory of Torange, she decided to make this chicken.  Continue reading →
