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 […]
Yes, yes, another brownie recipe. What can I say? It’s still one of my faves and even DH, not the biggest chocolate fan as I’ve mentioned, loves this recipe. It’s chewier than most which I love but the best part is that it’s making a mix, literally, which you store in the fridge or freezer […]
This has become one of DH’s and all my kids and grandkids favorite recipes. It’s so easy compared to real frying and even easier than a different oven fried version of pargiot I have on the blog that you will wind up adding it to your repertoire. Aside from the fact that you don’t end […]
As those who know me know, I am in a serious relationship with Mediterranean or Sephardi foods.

I have a terrible confession to make. The very sight of a cinnabon-like cinnamon roll makes me cringe. I don’t know if this makes me close to an ax murderer but the very thought of the gloppy topping with cream cheese – no just no. On the other hand, the plain cinnamon roll minus the […]
As the holidays have come and gone, we look for new and easy side dishes to add to our repertoire since we don’t want to fuss too much but still want our veggies. Since I’m a big green bean fan – love the flavor and texture – I like to play around with different combos. […]
The dust has just about settled but I had to share with you my gratitude to G-d for all I’ve received. DH and I hosted all the kids and grandkids together with my mom and we were over 30 people. They all took Covid tests so nobody would be nervous (though all those who can […]
While DH and I don’t actually eschew noodles/pasta we also don’t eat it all that much. It has to be something we really like to keep us coming back for more. So here is a recipe that does. I’ve played with these noodles for many many years (my son Yehuda still remembers them fondly) and […]
