Glazes can make a piece of meat or poultry. Since we’re looking at Easter (and this may work for a Passover lamb, too), I thought I might pass on a couple of simple glaze options for ham, pork or lamb. Truth be told, these could work well with turkey, too, but you’re on own, as I haven’t tried that…yet! Continue reading

I like lentils. Actually, as far as legumes go, I think lentils may be my favorite. The Latin Lover is, shall we say, less fond of them. A bad childhood memory. But I’m trying to convert him. It’s always good to eradicate a bad childhood food memory and create a new, all-gown-up food memory! I think this soup may have done it! Continue reading

Sweet potatoes or yams, I honestly don’t really know the difference. I know there is a difference. But, if you mash ’em up with some bourbon, top ’em with bacon and pecans and a good drizzle of maple syrup…well then, I don’t think it matters one bit. Continue reading

This tapenade is salty, slightly bitter, slightly sweet and completely delicious. It works with meat, poultry, and fish. It can be stirred into sauces. Or smeared on a grilled cheese. Yes, it’s a flexible little minx, this one. Continue reading

I just made this for dinner tonight. The Spicy Honey loves tomato soup, but he usually prefers the kind in the can. However, he does enjoy this one. This is an incredibly simple and delicious soup. With summer on the horizon, this seems to work, even when the heat creeps into our bones. Continue reading

If you like fruity, boozy, but not too sweet summer drinks, you’ll like this a lot. You might even love it! Word of caution—drink this s-l-o-w-l-y. It can sneak up on you and don’t plan on driving! Continue reading

I love salmon. It’s pretty and pink-ish, it can take some bold flavors and it’s so quick to fix. This is an easy, mid-week dinner. It’s best if the salmon is seasoned ahead; you get a better, more robust flavor. Salmon is easy and this version is pan-fried, but you can grill it, if you prefer. We’re using our coffee rub here…it plays to the savory side of the salmon, but because of the frozen orange juice concentrate and the dulce de leche drizzle, there is balance. Balance is good.

This is an excellent combination of flavors, and lovely to behold! Salmon just begs for something fruity…it just does, don’t you think? Continue reading

citrus juice, herbs, ketchup, mustard, olive oil, orange juice, pomegranate molasses, vinegar, water, xanthan gum
We’ve talked about vinaigrettes in the Mother Sauces section. This is a lower calorie version with huge flavor and it still has the mouth-feel of the higher fat version. The reason…gum. Not the kind you chew for fresh breath or bubbles, xanthan and guar gums. Anyone who is gluten-free knows about this, but they usually use it to replace gluten in bread. But, it’s much more than that. Continue reading

Perfectly cooked lamb chops are a culinary wonder to be savored. And the Rhubarb-Hibiscus Bourbon Sauce is a perfect union; they are a natural together. The slight gaminess of the lamb, the lavender in the Herbes de Provence, the tartness of the rhubarb…this dish is Spring! Continue reading
