A little while back I saw these rainbow cake push-up pops and I was immediately smitten. A little bit of poking around on the web and I discovered how much fun the new phenomenon of cake push-up pops really can be. I was hooked at first sight. They are like a cupcake with the cuteness [...]

Growing up we had an pippen apple tree. The apples are tasty and tart, perfect for baking. Other than the tarte tatains that my dad made every year trying to perfect them pretty much all the apples we didn’t eat turned into apple sauce or apple butter. The only difference between the two was how [...]

This is a fun activity to do with the kids on Sukkot. It is just like making gingerbread houses out of graham crackers but instead of a roof you use pretzel rods to represent the skach, the branches that are used to cover the sukkah while still allowing the stars to shine through. This sukkah [...]

These are the challot I made for Rosh Hashanah this year. Because things were busy I didn’t have a chance to post them until now, but since my family tradition is to eat these festive challot all the way from the New Year through the harvest holiday of Sukkot there is still plenty of time [...]

Since I was still relatively new to making marshmallows, and wanted to use recipes I knew would work, I made those by layering Eileen Talanian’s apple marshmallows on top of her honey marshmallows.

I know it’s no longer cherry season, but as I was enjoying my breakfast of greek yogurt topped with some of this jam this morning I knew I just couldn’t wait until next cherry season to share it. A while back, I was browsing foodgawker and this jam caught my eye. The combination of fresh [...]

All summer long I have been buying basket after basket of berries with the intention of making delicious desserts with them. Without fail it seems like by the time I turn around they are gone, eaten before I can do anything with them. And I am as much to blame as anyone else in my [...]

I absolutely adore making jam. There is something about the process of jam making that is very calming. One summer I made seven flats of jam while living in an Indiana apartment with no air conditioning. The air temperature in the kitchen was usually around 95 but there I was, several days a week, putting [...]

I have absolutely fallen in love with the combination of strawberries and basil. Ever since I made the basil ice cream in The Perfect Scoop I have been hooked. With strawberry season in full swing here I have been enjoying this flavor combination as much as I can. Strawberry soup with a basil cream? Yes [...]
