What do you do when your fridge freezes everything in your crisper drawers?  You use those frozen cukes to make a nice, chilled cucumber soup!  It’s simple as can be…everything goes in the blender, whirl away and into the fridge for a couple of hours and you have lunch.  Or dinner.  Life is good!

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_8564-2-e1611524829864.jpgThis is a nice change of pace from regular rice.  Truth be told, The Goddess isn’t too enamored with rice.  Oh, it has its purpose.  Rice is good as a sponge to suck up sauces, but The Goddess will always, always take potatoes.  But, this rice…mmmmm!  This rice pilaf is delicious.   Continue reading →

balsamic vinegar, blackberry preserves, Garlic, Mint, olive oil, orange zest, vegetable oil, white wine vinegar

Arugula with Avocado, Nectarines and Goat Cheese with Blackberry Vinaigrette with Orange and MintThis is what I refer to as “a back pocket” recipe.  It’s good to have this to fall back on and use frequently.  This vinaigrette is wonderful drizzled over a salad that includes goat cheese and yellow/orange fruit.  The color contrast between the goat cheese, the fruit and the vinaigrette is striking.  And truly delicious.  Continue reading →

Fire in the Pan!It’s hot out today and it will be hot tomorrow.  It’s summer, what can I say?  When it’s hot there is nothing better than a cold beer, right?  It’s icy cold; the bottle is icy cold; it’s exactly what The Goddess always thinks is THE perfect thing to cool her down.  Then, about 10 minutes after she’s downed it, the furnace kicks in.  And she’s wanting to book a one-way ticket to take a dip naked in the polar ice cap!  Continue reading →
