This cake has all the things I particularly like in a cake. A nice textured cake, not too dense, and not too sweet but sweet enough, with a bit of apple and cinnamon – what I consider a perfect coffee cake. Even the apple isn’t a filling precisely but rather a flavor pop. A note. […]
I have on occasion made the classic spinach artichoke dip which is this uber rich combo and had nice sourdough bread for dipping but both DH and I found it to be, although delicious, less our kind of thing, it’s a dip, not a meal. So I decided to turn it into a meal by […]
Okay, so the party girl here is the Halloumi cheese which has a most interesting texture, it’s firm and white and looks a bit like a block of tofu but the texture is harder and it slices well. The magic that happens when you fry the Halloumi (no need to deep fry, shallow frying does […]
How do I describe the deliciousness of this dish? Let me count the ways. Probably the best way would be to say that DH said, this is unbelievable, you gonna make it again soon? the first time I made it. The second time I made it it was clear it was the top of his […]
I love this meal since you’re getting serious bang for your buck, so to speak, with a protein, carb and veg all in one, easy to prepare and yummy, yummy for all ages.

When life gets complicated and you have little time or patience, there’s nothing quite like a slow cooker meal. When the whole family sends each other WhatsApps and […]

As my country and family and I make mad dashes to our shelters or secure rooms here in Israel, since Iran is sending missiles to target us, you need to […]
Many many years ago when me and DH first arrived on these shores we had a lovely coffee shop we use to frequent which was hugely popular in the neighborhood of Beit Hakerem. We often dined there with my in-laws and their friends and our friends as well. I still remember it fondly (although I’ve […]
This is a tough one, since I really love me these smashed potatoes with or without cheese. The cheese topped has a crispy crustiness going on with the ooey gooey cheese texture to make your mouth sing. If you go with the regular smashed potato version, you get all over crispiness. So both are a […]
