This is similar to The Goddess’s Green Goddess, in that it’s creamy and green! The herbs are entirely different, so the flavor is different. But, delicious? Oh, yeah. This is terrific to dress a potato or pasta salad, smear on a chicken sandwich and it is wonderful on a nice green salad with bacon bits. But, The Goddess loves, loves, loves to dip roasted baby potatoes into this fine elixir…heaven! Pure heaven! Continue reading
This is one of those little sweethearts-of-a-recipe. It’s fast, easy and just supremely delicious. It’s good warm or at room temperature. I plop them on top of salads, serve them on the side of a grilled pork, chicken or salmon, or smear them on some nice toast with a bit of brie. 
I’ve decided to inundate you with slaws…I’m loving them, so I feel the need to force feed them to you! This one is beautiful, very holiday-looking, and is particularly nice in winter. It drowns out the grey, days of dreariness with its vivid colors and it just tastes great! 
Sweet potatoes are wonderful and should be eaten more frequently than just at Thanksgiving. Don’t get me wrong, mashed sweet potatoes are wonderful, like the 
Spatchcock? Or not spatchcock? That is the question. It’s such fun to say “spatchcock”…go ahead, say it over and over. Turns out, it’s a great way to save time cooking your turkey, too. I have done this with a twenty pounder, but today, it’s a smaller twelve pounder. Then, place your different types of seasoning on each quarter for four different flavors, because variety is truly the spice of life! 
This is a simple, full-flavored version of tomato soup. I’ve already posted 
This sauce is incredibly complex and absolutely delicious, with flavors leaning well into Spain and wandering just a bit into Portugal. Sherry vinegar, smoked paprika, cinnamon, olives, orange and almonds are significant players in both countries, tracing their roots back to the Moorish habitation of the peninsula for some 700 years. Make certain you have good bread to mop. You don’t want to miss a drop! 
When I made this there was a hurricane brewing out there in the Atlantic. And it hit North Carolina. It hit hard near the coast. Sadly, there are far too many people who suffered terrible loss at the hands of Mother Nature and will continue to deal with the devastation left in the wake of Flo. We were very fortunate that Flo changed her mind and lost some steam by the time she arrived inland. But, life goes on and you have to keep up your strength to brave the elements and repair the damage done. 
This is the way you might find chicken prepared in a Portuguese kitchen. I found it surprising how much oregano is used in their cooking. I knew that cilantro and bay leaves were used frequently, but why not? It makes for some tasty dishes. 
I love tomato sandwiches. When the tomatoes are bursting with flavor, falling off their vines and are in great abundance, The Goddess is in heaven. But a Goddess doesn’t live by tomato sandwiches alone. No. No, she doesn’t. This is relatively quick and easy, particularly if you purchase one of those rolled up pie crusts…and they are quite tasty and work great for this recipe.
