As I’ve often mentioned, I like to experiment and develop recipes and this one was born from just not being in the mood to make pie. I had purchased the jarred sour cherries in syrup with that intention, but just didn’t wanna. Ever get that feeling? So each time I opened the pantry door, there […]
This is a recipe I deconstructed from a stay we had at Kibbutz Lavi about a year ago, where we go fairly often with our kids and grandkids. They have gone somewhat more upscale in their food and served this as part of the meal on Shabbat and the combo of crispy pastry, portobello mushrooms […]
These flatbreads are not baked in the oven, rather they are baked on the stovetop in a good pan, not too flimsy so it properly retains heat. They are an amazingly delish bread on their own but go especially well with things like shawarma Chicken Shawarma or falafel Falafel From Scratch. In fact, this is […]
This is a homey dessert and comforting and easy to put together. One warning here. Don’t make it more than a day or two before serving and eating, it will lose it’s puddingy texture if left in the fridge too long and will start “weeping” not a thing to be desired. Now I did serve […]
Okay so these are simple yet a ridiculously delicious combo, elegant looking and marvelous as a first course. You’ve got sweet, salty, crispy and unctuous exploding in your mouth. All you need is 4 ingredients to make these. I even experimented with them on the grandkids on a Shabbat meal (the adults loved it but […]
I decided that I wanted at least a bit of wholegrain bread in my life, from time to time, so I decided to put some whole grain rye flour and oats together with (mostly) white flour. I cannot lie, DH won’t eat it if it’s too whole grain and I wanted it to be light […]
I think we all try to find our sense of humor (sometimes it feels like it’s in my back pocket, I promise you) where we can. The other day I was struck by a NEED to bake a good coffee cake to start off my day on a positive note with a good cup of […]
We’ve been having some real winter weather, gusty, cold and rainy and I was in the mood for a proper bowl of soup. When I was about 17 or so, I was in Israel on a 3 month trip for studies and was based in Tel Aviv. Some friends said, let’s go to Jerusalem, there’s […]
Since it’s still Chanukah time we have the opportunity for one more frying post (hey, I really don’t fry that often, I promise!). In any event, I needed to wait till the dust settled with the kids over and grandkids rampaging through the house (in a good way) and spending precious time together and supporting […]
