Yes, yes, it’s another pre New Year brisket recipe. What can I say? It’s tradition. It’s not to say I never prepare other cuts of meat, I do, but this cut particularly freezes well and reheats well and is just so delicious, I couldn’t help myself. As I’ve said numerous times, this takes a long […]
As the holidays fast approach, especially the New Year, we know preparations must commence, whether shopping, actual cooking and freezing or simply mentally knowing what we will make to calm the nerves. I particularly like this dish since it’s a one pot dish but looks (and tastes) beautiful and you should try to use an […]
DH and I just returned from an incredible trip to Switzerland where we hiked and enjoyed the fabulous views and for the first time ever, instead of going to a hotel, took an apartment (and were able to invite our youngest, Netanel, Ayelet and Benaya to join us, was lovely). I wound up (knowing in […]
The name of these cookies is either the French (like palm tree tops) or the more delightful elephant ears, which they use in Israel. Personally, I like the ear version. This is almost ridiculously easy to prepare if you use bought puff pastry, which I do, although I’ve made my own it’s a huge amount […]
I have discovered that many people are in search of how to make basic white rice which is fast, tasty and doesn’t require much effort to come out properly. So I give you my recipe which is for white rice, not brown, (see on the blog Excellent Basic Brown Rice ) and all you require […]
As I’ve oft mentioned, DH and I love to travel and I must say that although Covid definitely impacted this and we were being careful about it, we have been venturing forth again. My BFF, Paulette and her hubby Doug, is one of our favorite destinations, whether in Gibraltar or London. This time we were […]
As I’ve mentioned previously, I have some nieces and a nephew who are either celiac or gluten intolerant and since I love them, try to come up periodically with recipes that they can enjoy without worry that are as good if not better than recipes that contain gluten. This is full of delish veggies and […]
I looked into my fridge for inspiration for Shabbat, not wanting to make yet another packet of shnitzel or roast chicken and found all the ingredients I needed for Hawaiian chicken. This is not complicated and it’s a lovely change of pace, made fairly quickly on the stovetop and served with plain rice so you […]
We recently visited with my BFF Paulette and she served us this amazing store bought fruitcake. DH and I were hesitant, since I was afraid of weird and unusual glace fruits inside but bravely took a piece and found it irresistible and we kept noshing it like mice. I determined to make my own using […]
