I’ve had Banh Mi on my mind recently. At this point, venturing out for a Banh Mi, is foolishly indulgent, no matter how good it is. And these are good! Solution? Make some for the The Latin Lover and me. To that end, a meatloaf seemed like the place to start. This is that meatloaf. Continue reading

Eggs, flour, milk and cheese, cheese, cheese! What’s not to love? It goes together in a flash, into the oven and wait…it’s the longest 30 minutes you may ever spend! Continue reading

I had lunch at Havana Harry’s (4612 S Le Jeune Rd, Coral Gables, FL 33146), with some wonderful friends who are not so near, but very dear to The Goddess and The Latin Lover. Food is always better shared with good friends, don’t you think? This is The Goddess’s version of their sandwich. Continue reading

When I was a child, bread pudding was a frequent visitor to our table. My father loved custard-y things and my mother’s bread pudding fit that bill perfectly. I make mine a bit different, but the roots are in that farm kitchen. Continue reading

As I may have mentioned a couple of times, The Goddess loves, loves, loves garlic. Is there such a thing as too much garlic? She thinks not. If garlic isn’t your thing, you need to stop reading right now. Go do something else and wait for the next post. But, if garlic is your thing, then read on, my friend, read on. Continue reading

You may remember, in the past…yes, The Goddess is a deity with a past! Everyone has a past, and goddess-willing, it’s interesting and rich with memories. Anyway, there were a couple of posts for Boliche and Boliche, Deconstructed, as well as picadillo. This is simply boliche in meatloaf form. An experiment going deliciously well! Continue reading

I had some mini-pepperoni that just seemed like they would be a nice addition to some lean ground beef…I was thinking maybe a taco-like thing, but The Latin Lover said, “We haven’t had meatloaf in a while. I love meatloaf”…well, what more could a Goddess want to hear? Continue reading

I 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

This is a gluten-free cake and if I didn’t tell you that, I doubt if you would realize it. It is delicious, moist and just slightly dense, but in a good way. This is from the King Arthur Flour™ website, with just a couple of minor additions…citrus zest!!! Continue reading

I love Boursin™ cheese, and I make a pretty decent facsimile, Almost Boursin Cheese Spread (Almost!) in a previous post. So anyway, I was sitting, sipping and musing. Goddesses do that sometimes. You should try it. The things one thinks up…and this was one of those things. Continue reading
