I’m always looking to add to my repertoire of salads. Not only are they good for you, they enhance your meal with a note of brightness and light up your mouth. I am a big fan of fresh cauliflower and broccoli, they deliver a combo punch of crunch and tenderness when cooked properly. It’s important […]
You know how after Shabbat your leftover challah just doesn’t seem to do it for you? Or like when we took our granddaughters Maayan and Tamar away (it was their turn this year) and Tamar didn’t want to eat her baguette which she took for lunch from the breakfast room? Well lemme tell you that […]
I have been very blessed, thank G-d, in my in-laws thus far and am thrilled to say that the new set are equally wonderful to my already existing ones. Rivky and Moishe are wonderful people and I am grateful for this. At the engagement party, I spied a really yummy looking rugelach with powdered sugar […]
This chicken dish is as beautiful as it is tasty. As I mentioned, I had some wonderful quality time with my girlfriends Paulette and Estrella and we also had wonderful meals at Paulette and Doug.

So, I’m delighted to say that our youngest son, Netanel, has become engaged to be married. We are thrilled with his choice, although we never doubted him, and have started taking turns with her parents in hosting him and his fiancee Ayelet, only fair. As her future MIL, I’m doing my best to start off […]
