There’s Hasselback Potatoes, so why no carrots? These are a nice side, they can be partially prepared ahead of time and are pretty. Oh, yeah. Did I mention they’re also really delicious? Continue reading

You know how The Goddess loves her sauce. This one is a passion. It’s simplicity itself to make. It’s spectacularly flexible and it’s extraordinarily delicious. I’m thinking this will be and incredible glaze for our Thanksgiving turkey. Continue reading

We love ripe plantains, or as the Cubans call them, “maduros”. Which means, “ripe”. Go figure! Maduros are sweet, rich and just terrific with something savory. This was a true regional fusion and were astoundingly delicious. Continue reading

It’s autumn in New England. Okay, so it’s autumn everywhere, but New England autumns are a Currier & Ives-type of beautiful. This is The Goddess’s time of year. There’s that little nip in the air, but no frost on the shrinking, post-Halloween pumpkins just yet. The flavors of fall are big, bold flavors. This sauce is a perfect mid-week sauce, but why wait?

Corn cakes are a nice change of pace and a really wonderful option to use up leftover corn-on-the-cob. Zucchini and tomato just seemed like a natural fit. And I think it was. 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

Okay, these aren’t necessarily “baked” beans. They can be, if that’s what you want to do and you have the time. Otherwise, make this “quick and dirty” version in about 20 minutes. They have tons of flavor and if you toss some cut-up hot dogs into the mix, cook some rice, add a tossed salad or green veggie, you can have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. Continue reading

I’m guessing that you’re thinking The Goddess has plunged deeply off the edge of the earth, which most rational, sane people can make a case for on any given day anyway. But you really do have to try this. It is surprising and surprisingly delicious. With local berries in season, it’s the perfect time of year for this sauce, which is as good drizzled over grilled chicken as it is over good vanilla ice cream. Continue reading

Compound butter, which simply put, is butter with stuff added to it. The great thing about them, is they can and should be made ahead, chilled and/or frozen, so you have them on hand. The Goddess is all about having things on hand to work with and make her life easier. These little nuggets of saucy goodness offer huge flavor and versatility. It’s simplicity at its very best.

Corncakes are a thing of beauty and surpisingly complex. You get the fluffiness of the cake part, juxtaposed with the crunchiness of the corn and cornmeal; texture is king in these. You can add chopped clams, among other savory things, or simply add sautéed apples or applesauce and maple syrup for breakfast. I love flexible dishes and this is a great one. Continue reading
