Our son Dov joined us for dinner and I wanted to spoil him with a nice home cooked meal so I decided to make lasagna amongst other things. Let me preface this by saying that the tomato sauce is one that you can use in any recipe requiring tomato sauce, not just this one. It’s […]
The texture of this cake is very tender and luscious. It practically melts in your mouth. My DIL Ayelet was over for Shabbat with Netanel and Bnaya and she looked at me and said, I really hope you’re gonna post this recipe this week cuz I wanna make it myself! So you know it was […]
I’ve mentioned previously that DH and I prefer my homemade bread to the store bought and I like to play around with different types. I’ve wanted to make a good pumpernickel for some time now, just needed to get the rye flour and whole wheat (wound up with whole spelt instead, also good) to make […]
On our travels, we come across different types of cuisine which give me ideas of new things to try and play around with. These lettuce wraps are one such idea.

I have another recipe on the blog for cheesecake, which for me is the traditional baked cheesecake Cheesecake for Dorie which I particularly love and is easy to put together but I had a gathering of the kids and grandkids and wanted something super fast that didn’t need baking but was also delicious. I decided […]
There are few things that I enjoy as much as dabbling in bread dough of various and sundry kinds. It both relaxes me and of course, tastes ever so much better than store bought and also gives you a kind of satisfaction that you have produced the staff of life. This is a bread that’s […]
