Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel! It’s Hanukkah time! Hanukkah is super early this year – 4 days after Thanksgiving to be exact. It runs on the lunar calendar which is why it always moves around and I feel like it’s just a tad too close to turkey for more liking. But, c’est la vie! So let’s get […]
On the weekends, we like to cook a lot. It just so happened to be Passover this weekend so we decided to make our big meal Sunday and make a Sunday roast. Now, a Sunday roast is exactly what it sounds like – a roast of meat and a variety of veggies. Generally, they both […]
It’s September which means Jewish holiday time filled with lots of yummy foods. One of my fondest memories growing up is eating kugel. We would eat it at just about every Jewish holiday because it’s one of those dishes that everyone loved and devoured! But, what is kugel you ask? It’s basically a thick hash […]
Last week was Rosh Hashanah – the Jewish New Year. It’s a time of reflection on the past year and the year to come. I made a lot of yummy dishes for it! Tonight begins Yom Kippur. It’s a holy day of atonement in the Jewish religion that begins with fasting and ends with a […]
It’s Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur time again which means lots of sweet foods, followed by fasting, followed by more yummy foods. Just look at all the foods we put together for this years Rosh Hash dinner! So… much… food! Well, I just had to add one more thing to dinner because it’s sweet and […]
Last week, I was in Publix and fresh pizza dough was on sale for $2! Fresh, yummy pizza dough that I didn’t have to make tonight? YES PLEASE! Problem is, we actually had pizza the night before so I decided to use the dough for a dessert instead. Initially, I thought cinnamon rolls, but time […]
It’s July, but the girls wanted to celebrate Chanukah tonight. And by that, I meant they wanted to eat some potato latkes (fried potato cakes)! We happened to have some potatoes that needed to be used so I happily obliged. Latkes are a traditional Jewish food eaten on Hanukkah to celebrate the miracle of the […]
In our house, salmon is a must have. We eat it every few days, so you can imagine how hard it is to keep making it in a new and fresh way. I keep thinking we’ve made it every way possible and then I find yet another way to make it. It might have a […]
The other night, I was reading “This is the Challah” book to the girls and Amelia started talking about how she used to get challah bread from school every Friday (she was referring back to when we lived in NJ). In the back of the book, there was a recipe for challah and while we’ve […]
I love dip. I LOVE dip. I love it with veggies, with crackers, on toast, anything. So, when I eat it, I want it to be on the somewhat healthier side. While this dip has a lot of cheese, I don’t mind because I don’t eat much dairy in my daily life. So, it’s a […]
