Salmon-Leek-Meyer Lemon Sauce

arrowroot, butter, dillweed, dry white wine, Garlic, green peas, Leeks, Meyer lemon, pasta, pecans, Salmon

Salmon-Leek-Meyer Lemon SauceSalmon, leeks and lemon are a lovely combination.  I was going to make a cream-based sauce, but that just seemed too rich.  I thought it would “muddy” the clean flavor of the salmon.  This was light, very flavorful and rich enough.  What more could a Goddess want?  Continue reading →

Pasta with Butternut-Bacon Cream Sauce with SageIt’s autumn in New England.  Okay, so it’s autumn everywhere, but New England autumns are a Currier & Ives-type of beautiful.  This is The Goddess’s time of year.  There’s that little nip in the air, but no frost on the shrinking, post-Halloween pumpkins just yet.  The flavors of fall are big, bold flavors.  This sauce is a perfect mid-week sauce, but why wait?  Continue reading →

Pasta with Creamy Corn, Tomato and HerbsI do love to read The New York Times (NYT).  And don’t get me started on their Sunday crossword.  The Eldest Progeny and I tend to share that joy whenever he’s around, but every other Sunday, it’s mine.  All mine.  Continue reading →

cheese, eggs, Ham, kale, pasta, roasted garlic, Scallions

017Like many of us, I have some nice, smoky leftover ham from Easter dinner.  As I have mentioned too many times, I love leftovers.  I think it’s the possibilities, the unknown options that appeals to me most.  The fact that there’s something already prepared and all I have to do is tweak it into something else, probably appeals most to me.  You know, a challenge and The Goddess loves a good challenge.  With that in mind, I made a post-Easter version of Pasta Carbonara with my tasty, leftover ham…I know, that wasn’t that big a reach, was it?  Continue reading →
