Independence Day has come and gone but one of the things I have wanted to develop is a good and tasty cookie that’s oil based. So many readers are looking for this rather than butter or margarine that I decided to work on it and of course, you need guinea pigs for this. My siblings […]
This dish is quick to put together, colorful and delicious and perfect for our upcoming Independence Day celebration. This is best prepared and eaten straight away, but you can leave it in the marinade in your fridge and prepare only when your guests step foot in the door since it cooks in minutes. It’s also […]
This cake is lusciously moist and has a secret ingredient towards that end. Quick oats! So you can feel a little healthier making this, sorta kinda. I find that it gives a lovely texture to the cake but you don’t feel the oats, if you get me. They just play their role. The icing you […]
It’s been a bit of a hectic holiday this Passover since my mom was released from the hospital about 5 hours before its start. I also had 25 people coming for Seder so juggling was tricky but doable. We are all de-stressing (my brothers and sisters in law and my sister) and are grateful Mom’s […]

In the spirit of repurposing delicious food items that you want to change up a bit, I had leftover pastrami that I could’ve just made a sandwich with (also good!) but decided I wanted to turn it into a whole meal. Now I had leftover potatoes from Shabbat as well as the pastrami so I […]
I started this recipe with hesitation since I thought I’d get some pushback from the cake eaters. I didn’t think they’d be fans of coconut cake. They surprised me by saying, sure, let’s give it a shot! I was pleased since I’d been eyeing some desiccated coconut lurking in the pantry saying use me, use […]
