So I had a few small disasters lately, the first one was my gas lines were being checked (got a new gas cooktop so they check everything) and literally in front of our eyes, my gas petered out. OMG! Now this is due to our being in a private home where they bring you your […]
This is a lovely creamy and saucy chicken dish without too much fuss. You are making your own “cream” sauce which you use coconut cream for and I found that it really does not taste coconut-y at all. This makes a great deal of sauce and is lovely over rice or mashed potatoes. So let’s […]
This is a great breakfast, yummy lunch or terrific light supper all rolled into one. If you’ve already made my copycat bisquick recipe ( Copycat Bisquick Baking Mix with a Fabulous Coffee Cake Recipe) then you will be able to put this together quick as a bunny and get your crunchy crispy waffles ready to […]
This is such a basic in our home that I’m tempted to put it under kitchen basics but I know it ain’t so for many people. Guys, you are missing out. Never mind that this is good for you, it’s got that lovely earthy flavor from the chickpeas and the umami flavor of the techina […]

So as I’ve mentioned, DH and I just purchased a high speed blender which blends with amazing results when making gazpacho Gazpacho a la Estrella obviating the need to peel the tomatoes (can we have an amen to this? yayayay!), so we said to each other, this thing is born to make smoothies and we […]
As you know, I love me a good chocolate chip cookie but sometimes you wanna change it up a bit. I opened up my pantry doors, wondering what I’d make, and since Netanel and Ayelet love cookies and were swinging by I figured okay, cc cookies but eureka! my eye caught the Skippy Chunky peanut […]
So as most people, we are not traveling in this time of Corona and DH and I find ourselves missing rather badly both friends in far away places and the places themselves. As I’ve mentioned oftentimes, one of my fave places is Gibraltar, whence live some very close friends and in general, there is a […]
Just as we all have our pet peeves, so too do most of us have our favorite things. With me, mushrooms happen to be a major fave. I am generally happy to eat them in any guise or form be it soups, salads, sauteed with onions etc., you get the picture. Happily, DH loves them […]
