Seven Layer Dip has been around for years, and with good reason. It’s delicious. It’s easy and it’s delicious. It goes together in a flash and it’s delicious…are you seeing a pattern here? But, seven layers is just a tad too limiting for The Goddess…. 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 was going to call this Tropical Cranberry Sauce, but that’s way too vague. And I want you to try this. It uses some of the most wonderful flavors of the Tropics, but still retains a familiarity to the more traditional version. Continue reading

After I made the Tomato Jam the other day, I got to thinking. You would think this is a good thing and for others, I highly recommend it. But, for The Goddess, it usually means she’s about to get into trouble. This turned out to be good trouble. Continue reading

I know this sounds a tad odd, but you’re going to have to trust me. It is delicious. First, I adore shrimp with pineapple, a citrus and some cilantro…it’s just a good combination. And there was this half can of black beans leftover from a salad, so I thought, “why not?” Continue reading

‘Tis the time of year! This is a great gift from the kitchen, though admittedly The Goddess has been know to plan to give this away, and it never quite makes it out of the kitchen. So she’s sharing the recipe with you, just in case you don’t receive a jar, now you can make it yourself. Continue reading

avocado, Celery, lemon juice, pineapple, red pepper flakes, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds
Celery is an underrated vegetable. We haul it out when we diet and when we have Buffalo wings (who knew buffalo could fly!) or we make soup, but otherwise it tends to languish in the crisper drawer, until you’re pulling out a bag of slime and looking for the garbage can. This has happened to you and you know it. No more, I tell you. Celery is a great vegetable, not to be ignored. It can be a star and salads are a great place to start. Continue reading

This sauce is summer! Mango, pineapple, mint and a few other lovelies tossed in for good measure. This is the perfect balance for a grilled chicken breast or piece of salmon. It is truly perfection with crab cakes. Continue reading

It’s almost Mother’s Day and Mom deserves a bit of exotic, don’t you think? This is a perfect breakfast-in-bed recipe and is really good fruit salad. I’m talking homemade, not the nonsense in the in the produce department of your local supermarket. But, once again, if the fruit isn’t ripe and juicy, then the fruit salad will fall flat…but maybe not too flat…there are tricks! Continue reading

There was a request for some quick and easy hors d’oeuvres for the holidays, so the Yankee Cuban Sandwich will have to wait until tomorrow. Here are some quick and tasty hors d’oeuvre options, Prosciutto-Wrapped Fruit, Katie’s Roasted Mushrooms, and Romeo y Julietas. It’s always good to have these hanging around in your repertoire.
