Tehilla is an old friend of my daughter Batya and was her matchmaker as well. So, she has been in my good books for a long time! She is great and her cake is too. I love chocolate in many forms but am very fussy about chocolate cake. It so often disappoints and is dry […]
Aaah Mac and Cheese, say yes, please! It’s a classic for a reason. This is the old fashioned version that my mother in law had cut off the back of Mueller’s macaroni noodles and I only changed it a tad, I promise! But it’s so darned good and the ultimate comfort food that I really […]
Cobbler has been something I’ve been playing with for awhile, the name originating with cobbling things together (like a little bit of this, a little bit of that) and in fact, the different kinds of recipes for cobbler reflect that, varying widely.

So for those of you who don’t know, Tu Bishvat is called Rosh Hashana L’ilanot, or the New Year for fruit trees, which has various customs and lovely meanings but most of all is known for people eating of the 7 species of the Land of Israel and many dried fruits. So like most of […]
Now I won’t lie, I hesitated to name this pate a la Paulette since I kinda played fast and loose with her recipe, but since she loves me I know she’ll forgive my running with it. My BFF Paulette, as I’ve mentioned previously, is a foodie like me and loves to play in the kitchen. […]
