Most Fridays we go to visit several of our kids and I especially enjoy watching them cook and try new and interesting dishes. Yechiel, one of my SILs, comes from a mom who is also an inventive and terrific cook and he takes after her. So frequently, he’ll urge me to taste something new or […]
DH and I have looked around for a new butcher shop since we’ve moved and the most persistent recommendation came from my BIL Stu (Suzy too, but not quite as fervent about it). He sang the praises of the one near the shuk called Meat Choice and I have to say that a whole bunch […]
Passover has come and Passover has gone and we switch back into “flour mode” or chametz pretty darn quickly. There is no question that there’s also something comforting about non gluten free cookies, for those of us who can eat them, and with all the madness we have had (currently have a ceasefire, we shall […]
No, this is not a typo! You are using chocolate chips in two different ways in this recipe. And I’ve got a secret shhh 🤐 🤫. It’s reasonable to wonder how I get taste testers for new Passover recipes. People tend to look at you a little horrified (not on Passover proper when they look […]

In Israel, for some reason unbeknownst to me, you can buy turkey breast which is boneless but it’s also skinless. I’ve hunted down the kind with skin on, but only have found it as part of a whole turkey, dunno why. So, with this as a given, I adjusted myself to the trick of cooking […]
I was preparing for Shabbat and was really in the mood for a cookie not so much cake. Ya know when you get the craving for something crunchy? But I wanted a cookie that was really fabulous, something a little special. Okay, I know it’s a pain to roll out dough but for these I […]
