This is a dish I love any time of year but evokes for me a feeling of summer. I prepare these skewers in the oven, under the broiler, but you can make them on the grill as well, if you choose. The ingredients are simple and should be to hand in your kitchen for the […]
Growing up we were lucky enough to have my mom’s mother, fondly known as Grandma live very near our home and she would usually come over from Thursday through Sunday morning, helping us in the kitchen with the cooking for Shabbat. Without question, I got my love of cooking and baking from my Grandma who […]
So DH And I have been in New York and returned home after about two weeks and I’ve been craving lighter healthier foods since we went on a grand steak eating mad pash. While it was awesome and tasty, I finally lost the kilo and a half that I gained and now it is summer […]
I’m an avocado lover for many years and have been happy to eat it in guacamole form, sliced etc. etc. The trick with avocados is ripening them to perfection since they tend to either stay hard as rocks or get too soft. A simple brown paper bag used to ripen them can generally do the […]

Talk about a last minute post, this is my last one (as it stands now) for the holiday of Passover 2022. It’s just that I generally make this right before the Seder and don’t have the time (or patience) to take a pic and post. This year, thank G-d, I’m all done and pretty calm […]
Mind you, you can make this in a food processor as well, the trick here is making it fast and freezing it immediately. This can be made dairy or non-dairy, depending if you make it with cream or non dairy whipped topping (unwhipped). It’s a cool and lovely end to a meal, I especially like […]
