Ya know those days when you just don’t wanna eat meat? Somehow you want something a little lighter? Well I had a day or two like that and searched through my cupboards to see what I could find as an alternative. I found a whopping can of tuna which I’d planned to make tuna salad […]
There are days that I find myself wanting a simple slice of cake, redolent with cinnamon and spice that pairs beautifully with a cup of tea or coffee. Of course, if you don’t want to have to ice or frost it it’s gotta be super moist. So this is that cake. It’s adapted from the […]
We had the pleasure of being hosted again by my SIL and BIL Yo and Len for yet another family event, the bar mitzvah of our great (yes he is) nephew Avichai, and this lovely salad was served to us by Yo as part of our third Shabbat meal and was purchased from a local […]
