This is, at its heart, the shrimp bisque you’re familiar with. But I was feeling the Carnaval vibe, given the time of year, and the shrimp looked so tasty, so I decided to jazz up the regular old bisque with some Brazilian flavors. It worked. And The Spicy Honey loved it. Lent won’t be all about sacrifice, after all! Continue reading

Texture. This is all about the texture…pure silk on the tongue. The flavor is wonderful, but the texture is positively silky. Divine. I kid you not. Slow-roasting makes for a moist and silky finish. Continue reading

This is more or less the dressing of my childhood. I love, love, love stuffing or dressing. You can keep the turkey, but keep the dressing coming. This is herby and oniony and just plain wonderful…it wreaks of the holidays. Continue reading

This stuffing is savory, loaded with vegetables and herbs. You can add some sausage to this, if you wish, but it’s darn good without. You won’t miss the meat at all. Continue reading

There are many versions of scalloped potatoes. They seem to go well with so many things—ham, meatloaf, turkey, etc. With heavy cream, and all that cheesy, creamy goodness and the crispy crust, they are an indulgence worth every calorie! But they’re orange, you say…Surprise!!! These are scalloped sweet potatoes. Continue reading

You will have to bear with me on this post. There will a heap of pictures here, as I want you to see how simple it is to butterfly a piece of meat like this. After I butterflied the loin, I seasoned the top of the meat which will be the inside of the roll, spread a mixture of dried fruit, pears, cherries, figs, and apricots which I soaked in tawny Port, added some roasted peppers and a poached leek, then rolled the whole thing up, tied it, and seasoned the outside; it can now be stored overnight in the fridge or roasted immediately, so this is a great party dish.
