This is a nice, fruity and lighter version of cole slaw. In summer, I like to add mango, pineapple, peaches, or nectarines to cole slaw. I dress this version with a sweet chile vinaigrette, which compliments the fruit just ever-so nicely. It’s summery. Continue reading

This is one of those sauces that is as good with pork, as it is with chicken and it’s equally delicious with salmon or shrimp. Okay…so it’s good on pretty much anything. I haven’t tried it on a burger, but I think on a pork burger it could be stupendous. Continue reading

Have you noticed I’ve been on an aïoli roll recently? Yeah. I love mayonnaise, which is what an aïoli really is. And, I absolutely adore flavored mayonnaise. This particular aïoli is rich, creamy and well-balanced. It’s truly delightful schmeared on Chicken Burgers with Scallions, Ginger and Thai Flavors. Continue reading

The Goddess has never been all that enamored with chicken burgers per se. Having said that, these beauties are different. Chicken burgers tend toward the dry, but not these babies. They are jam-packed with flavor, and the Thai chili sauce and cucumbers add that sweet and extra crunch that is just ooooh! so lovely. Continue reading

I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything recently, but my trusty laptop crashed. I couldn’t believe it, but such is life. So I have a new laptop and I’m up and running again, so I promise to make it up to you. And this recipe is the perfect way to begin. The mojito is a staple Cuban libation. This sauce is a keeper, even for those that think they aren’t crazy about mint. Continue reading

Glazes can make a piece of meat or poultry. Since we’re looking at Easter (and this may work for a Passover lamb, too), I thought I might pass on a couple of simple glaze options for ham, pork or lamb. Truth be told, these could work well with turkey, too, but you’re on own, as I haven’t tried that…yet! Continue reading

The Spicy Honey took me to Doce Provisions for my birthday. It’s a nice little place, with an interesting and delicious menu. Their “Lechon Asado Buns”, which they serve on bao, were heaven. They were the inspiration for this, except I put the meat and pineapple on an arepa. Continue reading

Does anyone really need a recipe for fruit salad? Probably not, but I’m giving you one anyone, just in case! This is a particularly nice combination of flavors, and it’s pretty. The lime juice and chile flakes go so very nicely with the fruit. Does that surprise you? Continue reading

This is a nice alternative to tartar sauce. It’s wonderful served on the side of a grilled salmon filet….mmmmm! I usually serve this with Calamari Frita or Fried Calamari Rings. It is also excellent as a marinade for chicken. Continue reading
