This was a quick-fix if you happened to bring home some char siu pork or (Chinese BBQ pork) from the Asian market. And you really should do that. It’s good stuff and good to have on hand, if for no other reason than to make this wrap. It was deeeeeeeeeeelicious! Continue reading

Pork cutlets are lean, they cook quickly and can be seasoned and flavored in a myriad of ways…all delicious! They can be eaten as is, right out of the frying pan, or slipped in a good roll and served with some nice toppings…decisions, decisions! Continue reading

This is a chunky soup. It’s full of good vegetables and morsels of meat and like all good soups, it’s adaptable. Use what you have on hand, but today’s version worked out so well, The Goddess, being the benevolent deity that she is, decided to share, because the weather could turn at any moment!

We had leftover Pork with Salsa Verde, “Almost”. You may remember Plan B? That’s right, it’s leftovers, again! It turns out The Latin Lover loved this more than the original, so The Goddess will go directly to leftovers. Hmmmm, leftovers from scratch. Now there’s a concept! Continue reading

As you can see, there isn’t too much that’s green about this sauce, except the cilantro in the “red onion salsa”. There was a plan, but then I browned the meat, and it left behind a great fond, so what’s a Goddess to do? She goes to plan B, of course. And this is Plan B…Pork with Sweet Potatoes and Green Chiles!

Both of my parents long ago left this world for the big farm in the sky. They had a good life, a long life and they were pretty happy people. It doesn’t get too much better than that. Anyway, yesterday would have been my father’s birthday and today would have been my mother’s birthday. So my thoughts turned to pork. In my family, food was much bigger than any gift. It was the gift. And pork was always there. Continue reading

Eggplant is a favorite around The Goddess’s abode. It’s one of those blank canvas-types of foods, like zucchini and white bread. Stuffed eggplant is a one-dish wonder and this one is particularly interesting, with addition of chorizo sausage, mint, currants and feta cheese. Continue reading

Americans so often use ground beef or hamburger when we do burgers, but pork is a wonderful option. You know how The Goddess likes pork. So today she was feeling something Thai and fast. So she fired up the grill, seasoned some ground pork and the Thai Burger was dinner! Continue reading

Coffee is like a good lover; it satisfies your needs, warms you when it’s cold outside and is there any time of day. But, coffee doesn’t always belong in a cup, to give you a jolt in the morning or to end a perfect meal. Coffee, mixed with a few spices, makes a rockin’ good dry rub. 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
