This cake was born because of Tamar from my office. She is a lovely young woman who surprised me one day by informing me she is a fan of my blog. This delighted me, of course (and she proved it by quoting my last post) but when I asked how many things she’s made, she […]
As I’ve mentioned, one of the silver linings in all this lockdown time has been the quality time I’ve gotten to spend with my mama. While we’ve for 22 years been spending Wednesdays together and many Shabbatot, the difference now is that Mom finally agreed to move in with me (and my SIL and bro) […]
Many years ago, my friend Sara gave me this recipe and when the children were young, I made it fairly often. I hadn’t made it in a while, and Rena on my Foodies group on FB asked for a good recipe. Thanks for reminding me just how good this is! Thank G-d, our son Netanel […]
Although we are still celebrating Chanukah, people, I’m kinda fried out. I decided to post a healthier recipe instead of the cheese danish I made for my mom (another post another time) to sorta balance out the fried stuff.

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 […]
