So DH and I just returned from a lovely vacation in Florida which we planned 10 months ago. Of course, who knew we’d still be coping with Covid and the newest variation. Sigh. Despite this, we had wonderful walks on the beach at sunrise (we were up anyway, good ol’ jet lag’ll do that to […]
This recipe can be used for an elegant first course or in greater quantity for a nice dinner. It’s a bit lighter since I used ground chicken instead of ground beef and try not to skimp on the spices I use since ground chicken has less depth of of flavor than ground beef does. Also, […]
These pancakes have a surprisingly delicate flavor to them which make them especially appealing. They are made with cottage cheese which gives them a nice protein boost and although made in a frying pan are not fried. I made them with Chanukah in mind albeit skipping the frying in oil part. 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 […]
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. When we lived in the States there were one or two Israeli restaurants we frequented but they didn’t have anything terribly exotic there since at the time, American palates were pretty untrained and into much blander foods. This, […]
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 […]
