Chocolate Fondue

by Shoshana on April 11, 2011 · 6 comments

This year I decided I want to serve chocolate fondue for dessert at our seder. It is fun and festive without being too heavy after a large meal. Plus, it is a fun play on the seder theme of dipping our food. Why stop with dipping the karpas(vegetables) and the maror (bitter herbs)? We can [...]

Quinoa Hot Cereal

If you are a regular reader of this blog it might seem that all I ever eat is sweets. Alas this is not true. I do need to eat mostly other things or, like everyone else, I just start to feel icky. These days one of my favorite foods to keep on hand is quinoa. [...]

Lemon Meringues

Until recently I never really understood meringues. The ones I had encountered just tasted sweet and crunchy without a lot of flavor. Why would I choose that when there was a perfectly good chocolate chip cookie sitting next to it on the cookie platter? It is the obvious choice for Passover but I have never [...]

One of the major differences between the laws of Shabbat and those of holidays is that it is permitted to cook on holidays even though it is forbidden on Shabbat. Anything that is going to be served on shabbat needs to be able to be made ahead and served no less than several hours later. [...]

Homemade Vanilla Marshmallows

One thing that never seems to be lack on Passover is candy. Synagogue schools sell it as a fundraiser, and otherwise health conscious people somehow seem to decide that at least a box of candy per person is a necessary staple to make it through the holiday. As a kid I eagerly looked forward to [...]

Passover brownies

by Shoshana on April 2, 2009 · 5 comments

I know it is tempting to buy the Manischewitz box of brownie mix for Passover. There is so much other cooking to do, there is something nostalgic about it, and it comes with that convinent little tin baking pan.  RESIST THAT URGE! These brownies only take marginally more effort and they are so much better [...]
