It’s been a bit of a hectic holiday this Passover since my mom was released from the hospital about 5 hours before its start. I also had 25 people coming for Seder so juggling was tricky but doable. We are all de-stressing (my brothers and sisters in law and my sister) and are grateful Mom’s […]
Due to my momma still not being back to herself 100%, my blogging has been a bit sketchy, so I am going to post closer together than I normally do. Taking it one day at a time. Passover is nearly upon us and while I doubt I’ll be able to give you a full Seder […]
As I’ve mentioned previously, my son Netanel, the youngest of my kids, likes to play around in the kitchen as much as I do. He and his wife Ayelet are very into having all sorts and sundry salads (or salatim as they are called in Israel) to grace the Shabbat table and every so often […]
I tend to give little updates on my life and family, and I just wanted to share that this has been the week from hell. My beloved mom was rushed to the hospital and it was touch and go for a time but thank G-d, she’s mostly back to herself. I’m deeply grateful and while […]
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 […]
