There are those days when you just don’t feel like making a big fuss but still want a nice meal or an elegant side dish. I particularly like this combo, green beans with onion, mushrooms and red pepper for that lovely pop of color, and best of all, I pop it in the oven and […]
There are some goodies/snacks from my childhood that I periodically crave and since I’ve had a variation of Reese’s type candy for many years in a bar form, I thought I’d really prefer it in a ball shape. Why, you may ask? Cuz really it’s candy and this way you feel more virtuous only having […]
Now I’ve made this recipe many times in many different versions and frankly have loved them all but I decided to make this in the slow cooker/crockpot to see if I’d be as pleased with the results as cooking on the stovetop. Lemme tell you, if you have a slow cooker, do this. It’s ridiculously […]
Although now it seems like a faraway dream during Corona times, we used to occasionally go to the Jerusalem mall to Greg’s coffee shop on the top floor (although it’s changed hands since) and if you ordered the breakfast, one of the possible egg orders was an egg/tortilla wrap.

This salad is the sort you see everywhere in Israel, a simple yet delicious salad (no you don’t have to roast and peel the red peppers) with most of the work done passively in the oven – you simply roast the eggplant and bell pepper in the oven till completely soft and just add a […]
I’ve mentioned many times that me n DH grew up in New York and we have certain items we remember fondly, amongst them are what are known as English Muffins. This was a treat that we would get, it (at the time) was only Thomas’ English Muffins and you toasted them and ate them with […]
My friend Lisa (my next-door neighbor) called me one evening to ask if I’d like to buy a cookbook that her in-law wrote. Now her in-law is someone I knew since she and her husband had a wonderful shop a few blocks away from our office of rich and amazing desserts with quiches etc. But […]
