Sangria is a great summer drink. For some reason, women seem to enjoy it more than men. The Latin Lover isn’t a fan. The Goddess is. This is a fruity, not-too-sweet, white wine version. It is the perfect summer drink. It’s time to bring out the pitcher and the glasses. Continue reading

The Spicy Honey took me to Doce Provisions for my birthday. It’s a nice little place, with an interesting and delicious menu. Their “Lechon Asado Buns”, which they serve on bao, were heaven. They were the inspiration for this, except I put the meat and pineapple on an arepa. Continue reading

Have you tried plantain chips? They’re readily available here in South Florida, but I’ve gotten them in the Northeast, too. Anyway, you need to get yourself a bag, because they make a great “crumb” coating…really. Crush them up and add use them to coat chicken breasts, or as in this case, fish fillets. Oh yeah, they’re a great alternative to potato chips, too (and they are gluten free, as well!). Continue reading

Everyone should know how and feel comfortable making Prime Rib…It is Perfection! The process for this “perfection”, is what’s referred to as a “reverse sear”. It produces an incredibly delicious slab of meat. We’re talking salivatingly delicious. Continue reading

Every now and again, we have a vegetarian at our holiday table. There are always plenty of side dishes that will work for them, but I think vegetarians should be able to experience a filling and delicious main course. Just to be clear, non-vegetarians gobble this up, too! Yeah, I went for the Thanksgiving pun…get over it! Continue reading

It’s the stuff of memories. It is wonderful anytime, but by nature, it is a perfect dish to serve to the special people in your life. Continue reading

I just made this for dinner tonight. The Spicy Honey loves tomato soup, but he usually prefers the kind in the can. However, he does enjoy this one. This is an incredibly simple and delicious soup. With summer on the horizon, this seems to work, even when the heat creeps into our bones. Continue reading

This is a dish my sister Joan used to make. She’s no longer with us, but her memory lives on with me in so many ways. This dish is one of the things she made for her large family and her busy life. It was fast, tasty and economical. What more could you ask for? Continue reading

I can’t believe I haven’t posted this before. Yes, The Goddess was holding out on you, and after you make this you’ll be ticked that she did. But, she’s trying to redeem herself here. It’s time to share. These will grace your appetizer table over and over. The combinations of flavor and texture are just sublime. Continue reading
