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! Continue reading

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. The Goddess knows a homemade hollandaise is always the way to go, but she’s a realist. 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. Continue reading

With autumn deeply upon us, cozy, comfort food is so welcome. For the Goddess, dumplings are a homey-comforting-cold-weather sort of meal. These are not the meat-filled Asian variety, nor the biscuit-type Southern variety, nor the firm German potato dumpling. No, these are the light, fluffy-type of dumplings. A cloud of goodness sitting atop a mound of, in this case, beef stew. Continue reading

The Eldest Son loves bread pudding. Since he was going to be around, and I had some day old bread around, I thought, why not? I also had some very ripe bananas around, and I thought…hmmm, why wouldn’t these two flavors work well together? And they did! Continue reading

Zucchini is such an innocuous vegetable, but so versatile. It can be served raw, in thin ribbons in a salad, grilled, steamed, pan-fried, deep-fried or made au gratin…with cheese! This is easy, can be made ahead and delicious. Continue reading
