There is something about oranges that brightens your mood. The scent alone seems to energize you and hover about the room. I am in general a fan of citrus since I feel it wakes up the palate, and gives your mouth joy, but when combined with ingredients that harmonize well with it rather than overpower […]
This is actually tuna-cheese stuffed potatoes and it’s like a tuna melt but instead of bread, you have potatoes with sauce. You can skip the tuna and keep this vegetarian, if you choose. This is definitely a comfort food and while not an instant food it’s not hard to put together. Normally, I’d cook the […]
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 🙂 . […]

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 […]
I am very blessed in my sisters-in-law who are much more sisters than the “law” part and Dorie, married to my brother Shlomo, lives in Baltimore so I don’t get to see her as often as I’d like. We just got back from the States and paid a visit to them, and whilst there, natch, […]
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 […]
