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 are delicious and crispy crunchy and baked in the oven. Since the dough is similar to a pie dough, if you are feeling the crunch of time, and you wish to buy the dough, that’s the type of dough to go for. I have the recipe for the dough below, as you see fit. […]
In Israel, we are famous for our elaborate restaurant breakfasts with all kinds of dips, cheeses, eggs, bread etc. The first time I ever ate the tomato pesto spread I confess I was leery.

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 […]
