Split pea soup is one of my favorite soups and the nice thing about it is that it’s fairly simple to make, nice and filling and can be made vegetarian and meat and taste yum both ways. Often if I’m preparing it for Shabbat, I will slice up some kielbasa or kabanos and toss it […]
I won’t lie to you, I wouldn’t have bought myself a sous vide machine on my own. I’ve got so many kitchen gadgets on my countertops that I’m afraid DH will freak. Except he tends to buy me some of them just cuz he likes my experimentation – most of the time, anyway 🙂 . […]
Okay, so the title is decadent much? Yeah, that’s before you taste the fish! 😉 . I’m always looking for a new way to make a tasty fish dish and I find that even a little butter goes a long way. Its indefinable flavor adds such richness of taste that one small pat thrown in […]
While pancakes are a special treat at our house, I do make them on a fairly regular basis. I can indulge two things I love at one time, i.e. a dairy food and a comfort food. Nothing like a hot pancake right off the pan. I serve them with real maple syrup in a little […]

The first time I ever had spaghetti bolognese was in London in 1976 at my cousin Rachie’s house when she put me and my friend Aviva up for a few nights enroute from Israel to the States.There I discovered that the English really added milk to their tea, went the first time to Buckingham Palace […]
My daughter in law Racheli is someone to whom my hubby and I aspire to be in terms of healthy eating (in addition to her many other worthy attributes 🙂 ). She always serves either salad or cut up veggies at every meal and when she and the kids come over, I know we have […]
I love cookbooks and have been known to read them with all the bits that authors put in which is what make them more fun and interesting to me. Even though today you can find nearly everything on the internet, periodically, I will buy another cookbook to add to my collection. I have a cookbook […]
I looooove blueberries. I can gobble them up by the handfuls in their delectable goodness and adore the way they sorta pop in your mouth when you bite down. The best ones are sweet with a hint of tang and I and DH feast on them whenever we can. Sadly, they are practically like gold […]
