Gingerbread Dreidels

November 28, 2012

Now that Thanksgiving has passed I can fully embrace the flavors of the Christmas season. Now I know I am a nice Jewish girl who has no business looking forward to Christmas songs playing on the radio, but I do. And it is all because of the desserts. See here is the thing. Many of [...]

Cranberry Raspberry Pie

November 21, 2012

I know Thanksgiving is tomorrow and most people have probably had their menu planned for a while but I couldn’t resist sharing this pie because I absolutely adore it. The pie is inspired by the fresh cranberry relish my family has been making for years. The relish is made by processing fresh cranberries, raspberries and [...]

Pumpkin Cream Puffs

November 19, 2012

This month the theme for the Kosher Connection recipes is stuffing. While my turkey stuffing has no place on a parve blog, given that it is made with schmaltz and chicken stock, I still wanted to participate in the theme so I started thinking about stuffing related desserts. My first thought was a bread pudding, [...]

A Better Pie Crust

November 15, 2012

With Thanksgiving next week it is officially pie season. I know that there are those who would argue with me, claiming that the middle of summer when fresh produce overflows the farmers market is the height of pie season. While I do love a great cherry pie at the peak of the season, pies don’t tend to [...]

Coconut Chai Rice Pudding

November 8, 2012

Todays post is part of larger food blogging event in support of those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Bloggers from all over are posting a comfort food recipe in a virtual show of warmth and caring. While I would love to provide actual food and warmth to those affected, that is somewhat difficult from all the [...]

Pumpkin Doughnuts

November 6, 2012

This time of year pumpkins are everywhere! A couple of weeks ago we took the kids to the local pumpkin patch. While they busied themselves painting silly faces on their pumpkins I walked around and picked out one of each variety pumpkin that was good for eating. Needless to say we have been eating a [...]

Energy Bites

November 3, 2012

This week my thoughts and prayers have been with all of the people affected by Hurricane Sandy as they try to put their lives back together. I am going to be participating in a food blogging event on Thursday bringing people together in support of those affected by the storm, so please check back then [...]

Candy Corn Chex Mix

October 25, 2012

In direct contrast to my last healthy post, today’s recipe is all about the candy corn (which in spite of the word corn in its name has no relation to any vegetable of any kind). Every fall when I see it appear in the stores I always buy a bag. I just can’t help myself. [...]

Carrot Cake Pancakes

October 21, 2012

A while ago my son’s school had a book fair. As I was browsing the books he had picked out I couldn’t help notice the table of cookbooks they had set up. I caved and bought two books I had been wanting for a while, Heidi Swantons Super Natural Cooking and the Cookie Dough Lover’s [...]

Rainbow Challah

October 17, 2012

This week in the weekly cycle of the Torah readings we read the story of Noach. God plans to destroy the earth with a flood and instructs Noah to take his family and a least two of each animal onto the ark to save them. After the flood God designates the rainbow as a symbol [...]

Six Strand Challah Braid Tutorial

October 15, 2012

Now that the season for making round challah is over I wanted to post a video tutorial for making a six strand challah braid. I found that colored dough worked very well in my woven challah tutorial so I decided to do the same for a six strand braid. This six strand braid is the [...]
