Nutmeg is an interesting spice. The holiday season wouldn’t be complete without it. Apple and pumpkin pies and who doesn’t love egg nog? Nutmeg works on both sweet and savory levels, though most of us think of it as a sweet spice, but today let me introduce you to its savory side. Continue reading

For some reason, The Goddess has been thinking about potato salad. Maybe it’s working in the garden or the too early summer weather we had last week…who knows what brings these thoughts to the surface? But this week, The Goddess will share a few potato salad offerings… Continue reading

I’m a bit late getting this to you, but I posted a guacamole recipe a few months back, but today is Cinco de Mayo, which positively screams and dances guac, don’t you think? So I thought about it a bit and decided to primp up some guac. A photographer friend says her mother always told her, “Never leave the house without lipstick”. Who am I to argue with mom? This is “lipstick guac”. Continue reading

It’s the day after the great Irish-American feast of St. Patrick’s Day. Whether you’re Irish or not, you probably had some permutation of New England boiled dinner or corned beef and cabbage. But today, is another day and if you planned well, and you know you did, because you always do, then you have leftovers. You can make hash. Continue reading

There are as many types of chilis as there are…well, chiles. My version of chili has come together from different sources and the amounts given are flexible. This is pretty much the core, or the “bones”, of the chili I’ve been making for years. As I’ve discovered new flavors along the way, they’ve found their way into the soup pot. Some have stayed, some have wandered off to return later and some have run away, screaming, never to return. I add beans; we like beans in our chili, but if you don’t, then leave them out. Chili is perfect for large get-togethers like Super Bowl parties…make a chili bar! Continue reading

Sweet potatoes make great soup. This soup is thick and smooth, with little flecks of ginger to cleanse your palate a bit and work with the heat of the chiles to spice things up. This soup is a great example of the melding of cultures; it travels the world. It leans to the East in its flavoring, but there is the surprise of peanut butter, which takes us to Africa and the sweet potato itself takes us to the Incan Empire. Who knew you could travel the world with a bowl of soup? Continue reading
