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

As I mentioned in the post for the Broccoli-Apple Slaw with Cranberries, I’ve discovered broccoli slaw, that mixture of shredded broccoli that lives in the produce department of your supermarket. We really liked that slaw, but it’s not exactly a “classic” slaw. So why not make a more classic version of coleslaw, but using the broccoli instead? Seriously. Why not? We’re flexible, aren’t we and this is just as delicious. Maybe even better. Continue reading

I thought I’d posted this already, but I guess I overlooked it…and that’s bad. Really bad. Because this is spectacularly good with Corned Beef with Beer Gravy and it’s that time of year. When The Progeny are around the table, I have to make huge quantities, because it truly is…all…about…this…sauce! Continue reading

This is a more substantial cornbread than the Sour Cream Cornbread I posted a while back. That version is my favorite for serving as a side, slathered with butter and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. But this version holds up better for stuffing (or dressing). Continue reading

You can follow the recipe for Mashed Potato Perfection, and just make a couple of minor adjustments and additions. Would The Goddess steer you wrong in the holiday season? I think not!

I think it’s fair to say that most of us don’t think, “zucchini and chocolate…MMMMM. Now there’s a combination made in heaven!” I know I didn’t. But guess what? You should absolutely think good and happy thoughts about that combination, because this is an absolutely delicious cake. Continue reading

Compound butter, which simply put, is butter with stuff added to it. The great thing about them, is they can and should be made ahead, chilled and/or frozen, so you have them on hand. The Goddess is all about having things on hand to work with and make her life easier. These little nuggets of saucy goodness offer huge flavor and versatility. It’s simplicity at its very best.

The Absolute Best Fish Ever…that’s quite a statement, isn’t it? One might think The Goddess is out of control, lost her mind perhaps and then, you taste this fish and the heavens open, angels sing and the world will never be same again. Oh, yes…did I mention this takes about 10 minutes to prepare? Now, I DO have your attention! Continue reading

One does not live by soup alone. Cornbread is a natural to serve with soups. This is a light, cakey-type of cornbread with a great flavor and a tender crumb. And it’s easy. It has many variations, but most of all…it’s delicious! Continue reading
