This is a filling and delicious soup I was introduced to many years ago in Israel. I loved both this version and there is a beet broth version as well that I also love. However, since I make chicken stock often and often, this is much easier for me to whip up, beets not so […]
I was in the mood for a fluffy cake with a strong lemony flavor to it and for this you will use at least two large or three medium lemons for this and must use all the (scrubbed) peel for it. You will use most of the juice and save a couple tablespoons for the […]
Growing up, French toast was always a Sunday morning kinda lazy day meal cuz it took a little time to prepare and in the franticness of getting kids out the door most people didn’t have the time or patience to prepare it. However, the truth is, it’s fairly quick and easy and puts a smile […]
