When I was a little girl, my mom and I used to scoop out the insides of pumpkins for Halloween, carve our pumpkins and roast the seeds to snack on. It was a yearly tradition that I loved. Messy, but delicious! I would roast them with sweet seasonings for a sweet snack but this year, […]
Some people are french fry people. Some are onion ring people. Personally, I prefer onion rings. That is, until I got an air fryer and started making fries in it! You get that perfectly crunchy on the outside, pillowy-soft on the inside taste with none of the bad-for-you stuff. French fries are usually an indulgence, […]
It’s football season! We love making some warm foods that fill the house with delicious smells every Sunday. While Trevor is a Jets fan, I’ll forever be a Giants fan. It’s tough not being able to watch our teams on our local network, but we make do. 🙂 And the food definitely helps make up […]
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 […]
On July 4th, we had a friend come over with her daughter for a holiday playdate and I wanted to make all the girls a fun and festive snack. All we had in the fridge was watermelon and blueberries, so after a quick search on Pinterest, I decided to make Patriotic Fruit Firecrackers. Now, I […]
I’ve been baking a lot again (I go in waves) and the girls always want to lick the spoon when I’m making the dough. The trouble is, it has raw egg and flour, and sometimes other raw ingredients in it so I don’t want them eating it before it’s cooked. So my friend Amy told […]
When my girls are struggling to get enough veggies, I know it’s time to start incorporating them into foods to make it easier on them. One of the food bloggers who does this really well is Ali of Inspiralized. Whether it’s spinach muffins, or blender muffins, or falafel, or veggie parm, she is great at […]
Granola is one of those foods I love to indulge in, but hate buying from the stores. It’s SO expensive for what it is. So, I did what any normal person who loves to cook does – I made it! And let me tell you, I’ll never buy it from the store ever again. Now, […]
Charoset is a combination of fruit and nuts made into a roughly chopped paste and is typically eaten on Passover. It’s a symbolic food – in color and texture – meant to remember the mortar the Israelites used when they were enslaved in Ancient Egypt. There are many ways of making charoset, including my families version. In our family recipe book, […]
Back in November, I shared a great how-to on how to make a cheese board. It was so popular, that I decided to make another one, but with fruit and veggies this time. Since we eat with out eyes first, I wanted this board to scream Springtime, so I decided a rainbow of colors would […]
