In the spirit of repurposing delicious food items that you want to change up a bit, I had leftover pastrami that I could’ve just made a sandwich with (also good!) but decided I wanted to turn it into a whole meal. Now I had leftover potatoes from Shabbat as well as the pastrami so I […]
I started this recipe with hesitation since I thought I’d get some pushback from the cake eaters. I didn’t think they’d be fans of coconut cake. They surprised me by saying, sure, let’s give it a shot! I was pleased since I’d been eyeing some desiccated coconut lurking in the pantry saying use me, use […]
One of the things I like best about this recipe, other than the yummy taste, is it gives me a grand way to repurpose leftover chicken. DH is pretty good about leftovers but chicken is not one of his favorites in say, roasted form. Just doesn’t do it for him. So like so many of […]
While it is winter, and at home it’s kinda cold, at the moment DH and I are on vacation in sunny Florida and are indulging in walking on the beach and sunning ourselves like lizards on a rock. This kind of weather makes you think of ice cream and I’d like to share with you […]
So as I’ve mentioned, we’ve been blessed with a few good handfuls of grandkids and slowly but surely, they are growing up. It’s kinda shocking to realize I have one who’s 19 (OMG, Lavi, I cannot believe it) and 3 who are 16 +, a couple of 13-14 year olds, some 10 year olds, coupla […]
We recently had the great pleasure of hosting my brother Shlomo and sis in law Dorie for about two weeks. They came in from the States to visit our mom in honor of her (shhh) 95th birthday. Honestly, when I G-d willing, hopefully in good health, mental and physical which mom has, tfutfutfu, reach that […]
If you are a sweet potato fan, like me, then you know there are myriad ways of preparing this delicious root veg and I play around with them all the time. This is an incredibly simple method of preparing them but the taste is sublime since this is a savory sweet potato dish no added […]
This is a take on a recipe my late mother in law used to make fairly often. It was always a hit with adults and kids and fairly quick to put together. In Israel, I haven’t found pre-crushed cornflakes so I simply crushed my own and give you amounts crushed and uncrushed. We’ve got hungry […]
Okay, here’s a shoutout to DH for being such a good sport about this. I experimented with this cake to the point that I thought he’d go into open revolt but he really was a trooper and understood the need for research here. I must’ve made 10 different versions of this cake till I was […]
