That’s right…those Cubans even have their own version of a burger…the Frita. This is a burger made with pork or a combination of beef and pork, seasoned, fried, placed on a bun, drizzled with a creamy sauce and shoestring potato sticks all over the top. I’ll just let you think about that for a moment…. Continue reading

This is my version of “special sauce”. It’s great on burgers, steamed or roasted veggies, potatoes (yeah, I know they are veggies, too), roast beef and Reuben sandwiches, too. It’s a great dip, too. Continue reading

First, let’s get something straight. The Goddess loves chicken salad. She’s never met one she didn’t like, except for that one with chocolate chips in it. It turns out that chocolate doesn’t make everything taste better! 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

I mentioned yesterday that The Youngest One brought some Hunter’s Sausage from Vermont. I made Grilled Potato Salad, and grilled cauliflower, but he loves cole slaw. He is particularly fond of the Sweet Mustard Summer Slaw, I’ve been making over the…wait for it…SUMMER! Continue reading

The Youngest One brought some homemade sausage from Vermont and that just says, “Grill, baby, grill”! Potato salad seemed like a good idea and since the grill was going anyway, why not grill the potatoes? And the onions, too? Turns out, that was my one good idea for the day! 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

You may have heard that The Goddess loves sauces. We’re talking any type of sauce, but she does have a special little spot in her heart for mayonnaise or creamy-type sauces. This sauce is one of THOSE sauces! It’s wonderful with Tuxedo Tuna, on a Bahn Mi or Grilled Thai Pork Burgers. Continue reading

Green Goddess dressing isn’t something you see too often anymore and that’s a shame. Its beautiful green color adds freshness to any table or dish. It’s versatile; it’s a great spread for sandwiches and canapés, swirled into soup and is terrific with chicken and steak. It also happens to be a great salad dressing. Continue reading

Recently, I’ve been thinking about bleu cheese. This naturally leads me to bleu cheese dressing. Don’t you love bleu cheese and bleu cheese dressing? You know, the really chunky kind. You can certainly buy it, but making your own is fun and you can choose how much bleu cheese you use. And you’ll want to use a lot. Continue reading
