There are those days when you simply need a crunchy sweetly spicy snack and there are times you want it NOW not in a half hour. So, the joy of these lovely spicy aromatic biscotti is that they freeze so well they can be eaten fresh and freeze half a batch for those NOW moments. […]
This is another one of those meals that was caused by my dear mama. She gave me a bag of black beans (uncooked beans) and said, I don’t know how I got this but you should take it and do something with it. Hmm, this ain’t the first time. But that’s okay, I wanted to […]
I found some giant beautiful salmon fillets in the supermarket and since it’s warm outside, decided to make a poached dish out of them, to be eaten cold. DH and I particularly like salmon cold and it’s convenient since once prepared, you pop it in the fridge till your ready and it soaks in the […]
I had a ton of plums I had bought, planning to snorf them down with DH (I love summer fruits!) and to my dismay, discovered they were super tart/sour. So what’s a woman to do? Why, cook and bake with them, of course! This was fine since I love fruit cakes and so does DH. […]

There are times when you are just not in the mood for a meat meal and cast about in your kitchen to throw something together that’s dairy or vegetarian. So I dove headfirst into my pantry to see what I could find that appealed and discovered a package of green lentils which my mother sorta […]
Tis the season for glorious dairy foods, before the holiday of Shavuot when we celebrate receiving the Torah. I won’t go into the reason for dairy foods, Rabbi Google is out there with the info, but suffice it to say that pretty much everyone I know goes crazy for not merely dairy foods but especially […]
