Ah childhood memories! Nothing quite like ’em, are there? These cookies evoke a memory of going with my father, of blessed memory, to a bake shop which the whole neighborhood patronized, named Henry’s, where the white bakery boxes were wrapped in green and white string and you took home a heady scented array of goodies.

I’m always trying to find new ways to prepare veggies, and sometimes I feel that they are so delish they can beckon me more than the main! While DH and I like cabbage in many forms, we were having Netanel and Ayelet over and I know she’s not a cabbage fan (from childhood, apparently) but […]
Brisket is one of my favorite cuts of meat since I find it so flavorful and delicious. I have a number of recipes for brisket on the blog but decided to do yet another, this time the pulled beef version. There is an important heads up I give you here. If you don’t let the […]

These muffins are our everyday muffins. They make both DH and me happy, bursting with the fresh (heh, frozen) flavor of blueberries and grated lemon peel or I’ve also very successfully substituted grated orange peel as well. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch or a snack and are both satisfying and delicious. They are also […]
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 […]
