While I’m a big fan of moussaka, I find it’s somewhat messy to serve especially if you’ve got a lot of company. I decided to make these nice little bundles to make them easier to remove from the pan and serve, not to mention they have great eye appeal. You do NOT fry the eggplant […]
As I believe I’ve mentioned, oh so many times, I have a niece, nephew and now a granddaughter, my Noa, who have celiac and I work on recipes for them. Since Noa is fairly new to the game and it’s not always easy for her, I try to think of things she might feel deprived […]
DH and I were visiting our daughter Batya and family on a Friday and our SIL Yechiel was, as is his wont, cooking up a storm. I sniffed the air and the scent was heavenly, redolent of garlic and onion and tomato and I asked him what that incredible smell was. Fish balls in sauce, […]
DH and I were away and I was doing very little cooking, so we moseyed on over to a really excellent take out place and bought a few salads. The heart of palm salad we purchased was so delicious that I promised him I’d deconstruct it and make it at home. This is simplicity itself […]
I was in the mood for something quick, easy and delish with ingredients I had to hand in my pantry and fridge, and I had a package of tortillas looking at me for awhile saying NU? what are you waiting for? I heard that and poked my head into the fridge and found some nice […]
As I’ve often mentioned, I like to experiment and develop recipes and this one was born from just not being in the mood to make pie. I had purchased the jarred sour cherries in syrup with that intention, but just didn’t wanna. Ever get that feeling? So each time I opened the pantry door, there […]
This is a recipe I deconstructed from a stay we had at Kibbutz Lavi about a year ago, where we go fairly often with our kids and grandkids. They have gone somewhat more upscale in their food and served this as part of the meal on Shabbat and the combo of crispy pastry, portobello mushrooms […]
These flatbreads are not baked in the oven, rather they are baked on the stovetop in a good pan, not too flimsy so it properly retains heat. They are an amazingly delish bread on their own but go especially well with things like shawarma Chicken Shawarma or falafel Falafel From Scratch. In fact, this is […]
This is a homey dessert and comforting and easy to put together. One warning here. Don’t make it more than a day or two before serving and eating, it will lose it’s puddingy texture if left in the fridge too long and will start “weeping” not a thing to be desired. Now I did serve […]
