So the celebration here is two-fold. First, I made this for my mom and my hubby’s birthdays (combined) and it is definitely a cake for fancy celebration. This was after asking DH what kinda cake would my mom like for her birthday do you think? He said, she likes cinnamon. So I made a lovely […]
So we have our next holiday to look forward to, the Festival of Frying, oops, just kidding, Chanukah, or Hanukah, depending how you wish to spell it. The story of the Macabees and the story of sufganiyot or jelly doughnuts in Israel and doughnuts in general. But there’s also latkes (potato pancakes) and other fried […]
Often I search for a new recipe for side dishes and when I can’t find one, tend to make something up. This is a very basic recipe that is hugely popular in the Middle East and in Israel specifically. I have made it a one pot dish (and a bowl, I’m trying to be honest […]
DH and I try to include fish and vegetarian foods in our weekly regimen so as not to go overboard on chicken/meat and I do my best to find tasty things to create and eat. I also try to create them for vegetarians in our midst, who (pre-Corona) might come for a Shabbat meal and […]

Especially during the winter months when it’s cold outside, you want something to warm you up and fill you up as well. Also known as comfort food, I find this a perfect answer to that desire. I’ve made many versions of this and often used wine but decided to go more Irish and used beer […]
My SIL Suzy is a proficient baker and in fact, is the one who went with me to the special baking course (we had such fun together!) and whenever we used to go to her or she came to us, we knew if a baked good was offered to grab it since it was always […]
This is a very simple to make chicken dish but if you want the extra oomph of flavor, let it marinate, really. It’s only for about 30 minutes to an hour, as long as you can afford timewise but so worth it. All you do is assemble your marinade ingredients after cleaning your chickens, Put […]
So it’s almost that time of year again, which I, as someone who grew up in New York, never can forget it’s nearly Thanksgiving. It was a holiday we all celebrated since giving thanks is a basic belief we all hold dear. So people bring on the turkeys and cranberries and let us not forget, […]
