Another weekend, another soup! I’m really loving on this cooler weather and it shows with all the soup I’ve been cooking recently. And of course, today’s is no exception! It’s a slightly upgraded version of chicken noodle soup and it’s so delicious! Typical chicken noodle soup uses a yellow or white onion but leeks give […]
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 […]
Over the years, I’ve made a LOT of corn muffins and corn bread. It was my job to make our families mini corn muffins every year for Thanksgiving. I loved making them, but if I’m being honest, I didn’t like how they tasted. They were so dry, but we had a recipe and I had […]
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 […]
This past weekend was Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. It’s a time for reflection over the past year and celebrating what’s to come in the coming year. Apples and honey are typically eaten during the festivities, which is great given it’s apple picking season! I pick my apples at the local farmer’s market these […]
It’s apple season. YAY!!! Which means warm sweaters, watching the fire crackle in the fireplace, crunchy leaves and eating every conceivable thing with apples. I like to do a mix of savory and sweet dishes with apples (like all of these), but breakfast is definitely one of my favorite places to mix in apples. Well, […]
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 […]
We went apple picking over the weekend at Alstede Farms and have a TON of apples. They have an amazing farm where you can pick-your-own apples, pumpkins, sunflowers, veggies, do a hay ride, ride a pony…. it’s a huge place but super well run. So, we love to go there every Fall. While we picked […]
We went apple picking this weekend at a farm about an hour west of here, called Alstede Farms. We go every year and love it – they have hay rides, animals, pumpkin (and other veggie) pick-your-own and of course and abundance of apples. We love Honeycrisp and Gala, so that’s what we picked for our apple […]
