So we are on vacay again and this time oceanside. How I love the beautiful palm trees and the rolling surf. Good to calm the nerves and wonderful to walk on and let that surf tickle your toes. DH and I like to eat out as much as the next guy but we deliberately choose […]
I often make salmon as a “fast food” both during the week and for Shabbat. As I often say, fish is the original fast food since it cooks quicker than most proteins and is yummy. I was in the mood for a crusted salmon and wanted to use regular breadcrumbs as opposed to panko which […]
I was in the mood for a nice chewy cookie for Shabbat and I have critics to contend with, so they specifically requested a chewy cookie and since I hadn’t found a specific recipe I liked for it, decided to play around. Basically, when you increase the brown sugar and decrease the white, you get […]
I confess that this dish takes me back to my childhood and a bit tongue in cheek, I’ve named this title after the song in the advertisement of oh those many years ago (Strong Wilhemina, eats her farina…smooth and delicious all boys and girls love it so, H-O). I smile every time. The thing with […]
So Racheli and Dani decided that besides her party, they and Roni wanted to have a quiet, cozy Bat Mitzvah Shabbat with the immediate family and grandparents. I offered to make something, and after saying it wasn’t necessary and I should just enjoy, I explained that making something was part of my enjoyment. So, Roni […]
I experimented with these one day when feeling under the weather, looking for a nice hearty bread to make but then decided to switch to rolls. After all, it’s just me and DH and once you slice into a loaf, it ain’t quite the same. So, know now, these freeze amazingly well and are still […]
I’ve made flanken many many times in my life, but usually as part of a stew or soup and I wanted to make them along the lines of barbecue spareribs/short ribs. I was looking for the consistency of super soft whilst not quite falling off the bone. Do not mistake these for Korean style flanken […]
We’ve been having cold, wet and nasty weather and DH and I have been “under the weather” (get it? cold nasty wet, never mind) so our appetites have been a bit off and yet you are hungry despite it all. So I was looking for a sort of all in one kinda meal which would […]
I’ve mentioned in the past how very blessed we are in our family relationships, not something I ever take for granted tfutfutfu. The year of my FIL’s passing was over, and my BILs and SILs and DH and I decided to spend the Shabbat together, just us, no kids or grandkids. This is a treat […]
