I love recipes that are quick, easy and yet look fancy. This one definitely qualifies. It was simple to throw together, and the results were just beautiful (and yummy, too). yield: 12 mini pies muffin tin (mine is for a dozen muffins) non-stick cooking spray 10 sheets Fillo (Phyllo) Dough 1 21-oz can Peach Pie… Continue reading Peach-Pecan Mini Pies
There are a number of yummy kosher recipe sites out there, and I’m happy to have written a guest post for Cook Kosher. This site is really attractive, has a great interface, and, most importantly, has lots of delicious recipes. Remember when my oven was out of commission? My post is about what I learned… Continue reading Cook Kosher Guest Post
Over at CulinaryKosher.com, I share the memories of my first experience baking with Little Man (and, no, it doesn’t involve any major kitchen mishaps). You can read the article here and find the recipe here. Enjoy!
Since we’re moving in less than a month (Aaaaahhhhhh!), my June menu plan’s focus is on using up everything that I have in my house. In the fridge, the freezer, the cupboards (I found a ridiculous amount of corn meal. Go figure). I was not looking forward to this inventory of items. At all. I… Continue reading June Menu Plan
Over at Kosher on a Budget (one of my favorite blogs), Mara shares an amazing recipe for Potato Kale Gratin. It looks really, really good. She mentioned that she’s using summer vegetables, since she belongs to a CSA (lucky her!). That got me thinking about seasonal foods. I’m clueless as to what’s in season when. … Continue reading Summer Veggies

My cookbooks were my lifeline to making edible food. Without guidelines to follow, I felt all panicky and insecure. How long… Continue reading Eggplant Parmesan, or something like it

No tomatoes to be had. I did have jalapenos, though, since I still haven’t given them to Nikki Flores. I was a… Continue reading Grilled Cheese and Jalapeno Sandwich

The point is, there had to be leafy greens in the bowl for it to be considered a salad in my book. Then I married my husband,… Continue reading A salad by any other name…
After frolicking in the park, we stopped by Whole Foods to pick up a few key items. While in the frozen aisle, I noticed that there were kosher frozen fruits! Strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, mixed fruit, peaches! I’ve been craving cold and sweet lately (and successfully resisting the urge to get that pint of Ben and… Continue reading A Summer Smoothie
As I was walking to the library this morning, I was contemplating what to make for lunch, specifically wondering what kind of protein I could mix into my salad. It occurred to me that I had a bunch of crab-flavored surimi left over from the sushi I made this Shabbos. Score! I also had a… Continue reading yummy lunchy
