Posted in Breakfast, Eggs, Gluten Free, Lunch, Quickies (It's not what you think!), Supper, Vegetarian
This was supper today. This is pure comfort. It’s been a long day, I was tired and I had leftover garlic rice, a nice, plump ripe avocado, eggs and onion and these flavors are crazy good together. This is a great breakfast and dish, too. MMMmmmm…. Continue reading

That’s right…those Cubans even have their own version of a burger…the Frita. This is a burger made with pork or a combination of beef and pork, seasoned, fried, placed on a bun, drizzled with a creamy sauce and shoestring potato sticks all over the top. I’ll just let you think about that for a moment…. Continue reading

Garlic, ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, Spices, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, yogurt
This is my version of “special sauce”. It’s great on burgers, steamed or roasted veggies, potatoes (yeah, I know they are veggies, too), roast beef and Reuben sandwiches, too. It’s a great dip, too. Continue reading

Fennel and fish are terrific together. The sweetness that develops when you sauté fennel is a beautiful thing. And it just works so well with fish…this one is a corvina fillet. The Goddess just had to add a bit of orange zest; you know how she is. 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!

Is this really Sicilian? Perhaps, if The Goddess lived in a Sicilian village she would be making this dish, with many of the flavors—tomato, capers, olives, garlic, orange (there it is again!) and some fennel—that are so prevalent in Sicilian cooking. This turned out to be delicious, so she will be making this frequently. Continue reading

Posted in Gluten Free, Latin Food, Make Ahead, Pork
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!

Last year I shared my recipe for one of The Spicy Honey’s favorite dish, Boliche, the Cuban version of pot roast, with cubes of good things stuffed in the middle of it. This isn’t that. Boliche is wonderfully tasty; it is using the eye of the round. But, I have a chuck roast. So why, The Goddess asked herself, not make pot roast, using the same ingredients, just not stuffed into the hunk of meat? Continue reading

I just ran across a recipe for Chicken Mole Casserole on the Food & Wine website. And I do mean I “just” found it. It sounded great; I liked the idea of it. It just seemed like the perfect thing for dinner, so I made it, or rather my version of it. And it was on the table in 20 minutes! What a great weeknight or Friday-night-after-work-instead-of-pizza dinner! Continue reading

When The Middle Son and The Unbound Reader joined forces, their wedding brunch was catered by The Red Blazer in Concord, NH. They make a Breakfast Lasagna, that had all of us tripping over each other to get another piece. We had all moved on from the real reason we were there. We were all there for the Breakfast Lasagna!
