Although this is a food blog, I share some of my life’s events with you and ask you to bear with me here. Our beloved niece Adina has passed away. A wife to Tuvia, her incredible husband who stood by her side through their joys in life and now in her darkest hours and showed […]
I was asked to prepare a meal for people dear to us and wanted it to be both comforting and fun and a little different during these difficult times, so I decided to go with this shawarma recipe. I happened upon it by accident, when at my daughter Batya’s house on a Friday watching her […]
