Challah (“Hah-luh”) bread – my absolute favorite bread ever! Or, as my kids call it: ‘eggy-bread’! This bread is a traditional bread used on all Jewish holidays, except Passover. It can be eaten anytime of day/night, with any toppings or added cooking style (it’s especially delicious in french toast form), or just eat it straight […]
Shana Tova! Happy Jewish New Year! Another year has passed and it’s time to celebrate again with apples and honey to start the sweet new year. In years past, I’ve made a few different types of apple cakes (like this Apple Bundt cake and this Apple Torte). This year, I was really wanting to make […]
It’s Rosh Hashanah time, the Jewish New Year, where we eat a lot of sweet foods to bring on the sweet new year. Apples and honey are a big celebratory food, along with some other tasty dishes (these are some of my favorites!). One food we should eat for Rosh Hashanah that I learned about […]
Happy Jewish New Year! It’s a day of celebrating and eating lots and LOTS of sweet treats. We love to eat the holiday foods to celebrate (I have a whole separate post on those here!) From challah french toast to roasted chicken and veggies, there are a ton. When we don’t want a full meal […]
It’s Thanksgiving time which means it’s time to start planning those Thanksgiving day menus! There’s turkey, of course, soup, side dishes, desserts and lots and lots of snacks. While I don’t eat much of the meat these days, I absolutely love the side dishes. They are truly my favorite. Instead of making my Easy, Creamy […]
10 days ago was the start of a holiday called Rosh Hashanah. It’s the Jewish New Year and a day of celebrating. Then, there are 10 days until the next holiday, called Yom Kippur. During those 10 days, you’re supposed to ask anyone you’ve wronged in the past year for forgiveness. It culminates on Yom […]
Well, apple season really just snuck up on me, right? Same for you?? Well, it’s lucky I like this time of year. 🙂 Now, let’s talk about what to make with all these apples. Apples apples and more apples! What to do with them? Well for one, I love making pie with them. Warm, stewed […]
Today is Rosh Hashanah! It’s the Jewish New Year, which means it’s a day of celebrating with friends and family eating sweet things to kick-start a sweet new year! The day is usually spent eating lots of apples and honey in any combination with friends and family. Since our family is far today, we’ll be […]
Ever have one of those weekends where no matter what it’s like outside, it feels like another time of year inside? That’s how I felt today when we made this cake today. It was 90 degrees outside and yet we were feeling all Autumn-y inside. Apples, cinnamon, blankets… the works! I have no idea why […]
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 […]
