Food for the Ravenous Soul
The Hungry Goddess is a Confirmed Carnivore. I love my veggies but meat figures into several meals a week. And don’t even get me started on bacon or pork belly. I have made a concerted effort to cut down my red meat intake but I now have a new love – BISON STEAK. I had [...] Read more »
Spices are … quite literally … the spice of life and can take a normal recipe to SUPER POWER with a few sprinkles. I love that about cooking. Recently, I received a fascinating spice from Mom’s Gourmet (an Artisan Spice Blend company in Ohio) called Brown Dog Riba-Riba Rub. This intensely flavored delight is a [...] Read more »
It seems a bit sacrilegious to post the recipe that I had scheduled for today since it IS Meatless Monday. So, I decided to post the recipe in two parts and save the carnivorous munchings for tomorrow. Scrambled Eggs are serious business in my world – I love to mix veggies, meat, herbs, quinoa and [...] Read more »
Curry chicken is one of the easiest meals to prepare once you have assembled all the ingredients. Remember, not all curry are alike, so to be sure you get an authentic flavor use Jamaican Curry. My favorite is Grace Mild Jamaican Curry Powder available online or at any West Indian Store. I’m a born and bred [...] Read more »
St. Patrick’s Day is simply an excuse to drink more Guinness so since St. Patrick’s is coming AND we are celebrating Root Vegetables on #HGEATS, I thought this would be a perfect time to share my Guinness stew. I began making this hearty, rich stew when I lived in London. You do need to [...] Read more »
Cioppino is a family favorite and a dish that my Mom has perfected. It makes an appearance every year at the holidays, sometimes for Feast of the Seven Fishes, and is also a dish that is requested for special occasions. I thought it would be perfect to post this week since we are focusing on [...] Read more »
With flu season in full swing, some spice is a great infection fighter. A huge bag of TruRoots Organic Sprouted Beans from Costco was waiting for us to create some recipes. Put the two together and we have a Sprouted Beach & Roasted Potato African Curry. Forget the rice and use quinoa as your base [...] Read more »
Risotto makes me happy; cooking it, eating it, standing over it and coaxing all of that delicious flavor into those teeny little grains of arborio rice. I can eat it warm or cold – straight from the fridge is gorgeous and I like it in the morning, afternoon and evening (and sometimes at midnight!). Today [...] Read more »
Mussels Marinara has been a signature dish from my Mom for as long as I can remember. Friends and family over the years have made it a special request when they are coming because she does it better than anyone else. I have yet to find a restaurant that can replicate the delightfully tangy taste [...] Read more »
Salmon is one of my comfort foods. I love a grilled or baked salmon resting on a bed of rice or quinoa! For the Foods from Chile launch, we had an opportunity to experience salmon straight from Chile … and I mean delivered to the door FROM CHILE! Fresh! I also had the opportunity along [...] Read more »
