For those who haven’t made this delectable concoction before, the idea is to take ladyfingers, an Italian cookie (sorta in the shape of a lady’s finger) and to dip them – NOT soak them or they literally dissolve – in a coffee/liquor combo and use them as the “cake” which sandwiches the cream cheese/whipped cream […]
I was in a tearing hurry and wanted to throw together a fast and fab salad without too much effort. Also, I have a friend who’s allergic to soy sauce and sorta put in a request for soy sauce free dressings and I figured, sure, let’s do that! I’m extremely pleased with the results both […]
This is one of my older posts from almost 6 years ago. I decided to revamp it and make it both easier to read as well as add the pictures and instructions which I normally incorporate. This comes about primarily because I visited again with Paulette and she served this cake! I love it and […]

DH and I were visiting our daughter Batya and family on a Friday and our SIL Yechiel was, as is his wont, cooking up a storm. I sniffed the air and the scent was heavenly, redolent of garlic and onion and tomato and I asked him what that incredible smell was. Fish balls in sauce, […]
DH and I were away and I was doing very little cooking, so we moseyed on over to a really excellent take out place and bought a few salads. The heart of palm salad we purchased was so delicious that I promised him I’d deconstruct it and make it at home. This is simplicity itself […]
