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 […]
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. […]

A word about pancakes, […]
Leeks are a veg which look like scallions who’ve grown gigantically and in fact are related to scallions, garlic, onion, shallots etc. They taste oniony but a bit milder and when I can get them, like to add them to soups and things. You have to clean them well since they can be gritty but […]
This recipe is a two-fer or whole dinner in one. If you add a small salad, you’re good to go. We hosted a young woman who is both gluten free and has a bunch of allergies so after some consultation, I came up with this dinner for her and we were all really pleased, delish […]
