A fresh fruit salsa is delicious and a lovely way to use perfect, in-season fruit. This recipe is a good basic starting point, but jump off the flavor cart and come up with your own combinations. Continue reading

This is a summery chowder, when the corn is fresh and delicious and the shrimp are running. The bacon and scallions are just the icing on the cake…so to speak. Continue reading

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

You know how The Goddess loves potato salads of all kinds. She’s given you Classically Good Potato Salad, French-Style Potato Salad and Grilled Potato Salad. This one is pretty much a basic potato salad, but she riffed on the dressing used for German potato salad and then threw in a few things she thought would be tasty. Continue reading

We visited Han Restaurant again. Those Hot Pots are addictive, I tell ya’. Well, we had some of the broth leftover and you know how The Goddess loves her leftovers. We decided to “re-purpose” it a bit, so we made a fish stew. Continue reading

Panzanella or Fattoush? That is the question. In reality, they are pretty much the same salad…and yet, not. That makes no sense, does it? At their roots, they are both bread salads, with good veggies tossed in. But it is all about the bread or the pita, and with this version, you don’t have to choose between the two…Fattoush-azella!

You’ve heard about Texas Caviar, Cowboy Caviar, Bean Dip or whatever, right? You probably make it or at the very least, have eaten it. This isn’t exactly that…it’s really a riff on my mother’s Three Bean Salad and we could consider it “friends” with my Three Bean Salad with Potatoes and Corn. What makes this salad different? It has those lovely Tex-Mex flavors. I’m not a big fan of beans and rice, but give me a bean salad and I’m there to the very end…of the bowl! Chips are good, too. Continue reading

This is a savory option for our crêpes. It’s pretty much a chicken enchilada, but with crêpes, duh. The sauce is lovely and loaded with flavor. Even though it has heavy cream, using broth lightens the sauce. Continue reading

Parsnips are one of the things I always look forward to when autumn rolls around. Beef Barley Soup just isn’t as good without a parsnip. Neither is a good beef stew. I know it’s spring and it’s the end of the parsnip season, but think of these little discs of goodness as the last parsnip hurrah! Continue reading
