I think I can get in one more Passover recipe to share with you, this week. As you know, Gnocchi is probably my favorite pasta – the one I judge all Italian restaurants, and even cookbooks, by. So, when Amy of Ess Eppis (Yiddish for Eat Something) piped up on Twitter that she’d found a [...]
With Passover and Easter coming this weekend, I wanted to create a recipe that everyone could enjoy for dessert. Actually, I was thinking chocolate. Because, aren’t you? Really? And I got inspiration from a couple of different places that you might not immediately associate with each other. It’s kosher for Passover, dairy-free, and gluten-free. It’s [...]
Top o’ the mornin’ to ye! St. Patrick’s Day is here again, one of the favorite holidays around the ol’ Flamingo Pond. The husband is half-Irish, and back when we got married, we made a deal: I would get all the Jewish holidays and he would get St. Patrick’s Day and Christmas. I took this [...]

While I did eventually bake all 12 cookies, I don’t think I finished until January! This year, the group decided to take it a little easier and bake [...]
