Now that we’re wandering into the Autumn, I’m beginning to think about heartier dishes. You know, good peasant food. The Goddess loves the bold, assertive flavors and stick-to-your-ribs quality that peasant food brings to the table. I think most people like that sort of food…at least the people who come to our table seem to! Continue reading

I mentioned yesterday that The Youngest One brought some Hunter’s Sausage from Vermont. I made Grilled Potato Salad, and grilled cauliflower, but he loves cole slaw. He is particularly fond of the Sweet Mustard Summer Slaw, I’ve been making over the…wait for it…SUMMER! Continue reading

Okay, these aren’t necessarily “baked” beans. They can be, if that’s what you want to do and you have the time. Otherwise, make this “quick and dirty” version in about 20 minutes. They have tons of flavor and if you toss some cut-up hot dogs into the mix, cook some rice, add a tossed salad or green veggie, you can have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. Continue reading

Gazpacho is the perfect summer soup. In Andalusia, it’s smooth, unctuous and creamy. The Goddess loves that version. She could bathe in that version. But, she’s also just a tad unconventional, so she also really likes a slightly chunkier version with bits of crunchy vegetables, too. That’s what this is! 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

Caramelized onions are for more than French onion soup, which is good…in fact very good, but add dried fruit, in this case mission figs, cranberries, some ruby port and other nice things, to those onions and you’ve created The Little Condiment that Could make dirt taste good! Since The Goddess has been on a bleu cheese kick recently (we’ll save dirt for another time, okay?), she decided this “jam” was just what she needed for a grilled bleu cheese sandwich. Life is STILL good. Continue reading

I’ve had this recipe for Russian dressing, given to me by a colleague from my single days, for years. God, that was decades ago. Anyway, she made this all the time; this was her go-to dressing and with good reason. It’s simple and a rather nice change of pace from bottled dressings of this ilk…a little sweet, a little tangy and drop-dead easy! The perfect summer dressing…. Continue reading
