As I am sure everyone has noticed there has been a shortage of posting around here lately. Things have been a bit hectic to say the least. Between packing up to move and driving cross country (with a two year old) there hasn’t been much time for anything. I am hoping to get back to [...]
Welcome to my new site! I finally decided that it was time to make the leap from blogger to wordpress and decided to to a major redesign in the process. A million thanks to Barbara from Kinetic Webs for all her design and programming help. If you were following my blog using an rss feed [...]
If you asked someone to name a word association with marshmallows elegant probably would not be the word to come to mind. Maybe campfires or s’mores. Or rice crispy treats.

Ever since I made s’mores with a blow torch in my kitchen I have been trying to figure out how to capture the sweet, oozy, deliciousness of a s’more in a cookie form. The challenge is that I serve most of my desserts on shabbat, which means that the s’more qualities need to come through [...]
