Creamy Russian Dressing

cider vinegar, dry chopped onions, garlic granules, horseradish, ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle beet, Spices, tomato paste

Creamy Russian DressingRussian dressing?  No.  This is really more of a spread or dip.  It’s this creamy version that absolutely makes a perfect Reuben sandwich.  I love Reuben sandwiches.  I think they are my favorite grilled sandwich and largely it’s because of a good, thick schmear of this little bit of heaven.  This is pretty decent on a burger and it absolutely makes a roast beef sandwich.  Oh, yeah…you can actually dress a salad, with it too!

Simple, Simply Delicious Sloppy Joe'sSloppy Joe’s were always my birthday request when I was but a wee one.  I still love them.  My mother made hers with tomato soup, but I tend not to use canned soups…I think it might just be a bit of snobbery on my part, because there really was a reason I asked for them every year.  They were sublimely delicious!  Continue reading →

Seafood Coconut Curry with MangoI’ve been thinking about Indian food recently.  Obsessing really.  This is what usually sends me off on a recipe search.  Picture The Goddess, crawling in camo through her jungle of cookbooks and the Inter”Webs”, in search of ideas.  That’s an image, isn’t it?  In this case, there wasn’t really a search.  It just sort of came together, and I had leftover shrimp and lobster…see how that works?  Continue reading →

Christmas in Connecticut
Jackfruit and Garbanzo Chili

The Goddess has taken a little break…okay, it’s been a bit of a long break. She and The Latin Lover took off to the Northeast over the Christmas holiday and stayed a bit longer than anticipated.  But, she’s back now and is cooking and exploring a new flavor, jackfruit!  Continue reading →

cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, roasted peppers, Scallions, Spices, Worcestershire sauce

Aunt Emma's Pimento Cheese SpreadPimento Cheese Spread is synonymous with the Southern US.  It’s everywhere and can be easily purchased in the deli section of most supermarkets.  Now purists would have us believe, and they’re probably right, that the supermarket stuff is well, YUK!  But, in a pinch, and when you don’t know what the “real thing” should taste like, it’s not too bad!

Onion, Apple and Mushroom Compote (for Pork)

apples, bacon fat, broth, Dijon mustard, dry white wine, Garlic, Mushrooms, Onions, Spices

Onions, Apple and Mushroom Compote (for Pork)The mixture of onions, apples and mushrooms is a winning combination.  I love this combination with pork or roasted chicken.  This is particularly nice, because you can make it ahead and reheat it.  I think it’s even better reheated, making it perfect for company.  And, this compote positively screams autumn!  Continue reading →

Hint-of-Curry Chicken (or Turkey) Salad with Cilantro and Toasted Pecans

Hint-of-Curry Chicken Salad with Cilantro and Toasted PecansI love chicken salad.  And I imagine you are pretty sick and tired of hearing about what The Goddess loves, as it seems to be everything, doesn’t it?  What can I say?  She’s an open-minded eater and a culinary adventurer.  Damn, that sounds much better than reality, because she’s pretty much willing to try anything at least once.  But, chicken salad is a never-to-be-passed-up dish, and this is a fantastic combination.   Just as an aside, leftover Thanksgiving turkey is delicious here, too….

Spicy Roasted Sweet Potato WedgesSweet potatoes are wonderful and should be eaten more frequently than just at Thanksgiving.  Don’t get me wrong, mashed sweet potatoes are wonderful, like the Bourbon Sweet Potatoes with Bacon-Pecan Topping, Savory Layered Sweet Potatoes, or Scalloped Sweet Potatoes with a Kick!, but let’s not limit ourselves.  Roasted sweet potato wedges are a delicious alternative.  Continue reading →

Creamy Caesar Dressing with South-of-the-Border FlavorsThere is a plethora of origin stories for Caesar salad.  The most common is probably the one that suggests it originated in Mexico, in the early 1920’s, made by the Cardini brothers.  Mexico…Caesar salad…’Why not try using a more Mexican flavor profile?’, The Goddess wondered…it turns out it was a pretty tasty thought to have!
