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!!! 
I love Boursin™ cheese, and I make a pretty decent facsimile, 
I had forgotten about this dish, which makes you wonder what goes on in my head that I could forget something this incredible. This is a rich, relatively easy and supremely delicious dish. It’s the stuff of memories. It is wonderful anytime, but by nature, it is a perfect dish to serve to the special people in your life. 
I love fritters. They’re a great way to use veggies. They’re a great way to use up leftover veggies and they’re fried. And anything fried is just better. Face it. It’s true. You know it’s true. 
This is a really nice addition to your Sunday brunch or for this season, Thanksgiving day breakfast. We had a slice with some salad for a nice, light supper, and as a side with a bowl of Creamy Mushroom-Pumpkin Soup with Sherry. I think if might be good with gravy, as in biscuits and gravy…just a thought! 
We love Eggs Benedict. But, really. Who doesn’t? This is the perfect make ahead, ready-in-the-fridge sort of breakfast, or any meal for that matter.

She knows there are those among us, including herself, that periodically has a lapse and wants to just make things easy, so we use a mix. She forgives these little human foibles. 
Hurray! It’s soft-shelled crab time! They are back in season. Soft-shells are only around for a couple of weeks, so get some and enjoy them now. Keep it simple, with a light breading and a nice big drizzle of great Meyer Lemon-Brown Butter Sauce….mmmmmmmm…life is great! 
When The Progeny return from their far-flung places, The Goddess likes to try to prepare the foods they feel are special. The Eldest One arrives tomorrow, and I must say, tapioca pudding is high on his list of favorites…
