I received a jar of delicious mixed nuts for my birthday. The Unbound Reader and Middle Son, we the source of this goodness. These nuts (not the children!) were addictive. I’m certain you noticed that past tense reference. They were crisp, ever so slightly sweet and salty, with a really savory spice flavor. Well, I thought it worthwhile to try and reproduce them in far greater quantity. This is that experiment. Continue reading
These are rich and chewy, with bits of crunchy, toasted pecans, gooey chocolate and coconut…and they’re just plain good. So pour the coffee and invite a friend…. 
I really do so enjoy imitation crab meat. I know it’s not crab meat. I just like it. It’s never fishy when it’s heated. It has a nice consistency, it’s easy to work with and it just tastes so good. And it was really good in these patties. 
This is particularly delicious with fish, seafood or pork. The thing I like about this, is that even though it’s nice Thanksgiving side dish, it’s wonderful when fresh apricots are in season. It’s quick, easy and totally delicious. 
This is a wonderfully crispy, nutty crust, juxtaposed against the creaminess of the fish fillet. The flavors play off of each other, bring cohesion to the dish, but still offer up a delightful textural quality. According to The Spicy Honey, it’s a keeper recipe. 
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. 
Salmon, 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? 
What’s up using peaches in the winter? They aren’t in season, so what is The Goddess thinking? Well, she’s thinking that frozen fruit is a blessing and prolongs the seasons. What could be more surprising and delicious than peaches at Christmas? 
This is more or less the dressing of my childhood. I love, love, love stuffing or dressing. You can keep the turkey, but keep the dressing coming. This is herby and oniony and just plain wonderful…it wreaks of the holidays. 
This stuffing is savory, loaded with vegetables and herbs. You can add some sausage to this, if you wish, but it’s darn good without. You won’t miss the meat at all.
