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 [...]
Congratulations! You’ve gotten past the Passover Seder meal(s) and lived to tell the tale. The pressure’s off and it’s just you and your nuclear family. But it’s only Day 2 of the 8-day holiday and you’ve still gotta eat. Time to start thinking of some more casual meals, and maybe using up those leftover matzo [...]
Wait. How did it get to be December, already? Here I am, going about my business searching for new ways to dispose of leftover Thanksgiving turkey, and there it is on my calendar: Latke Week! Potato pancakes, that is. Chanukah came early this year, time to light colorful little candles and to commemorate the miracle [...]
I love Rugelach. A soft, but crispy, pastry rolled up with a sweet filling and sliced into 2-bite pieces, to me, they’re the ultimate holiday cookies, no matter which holiday you feel like celebrating. While they’re considered a “Jewish” cookie, rugelach are a tasty addition to any cookie platter. That’s why I’ve chosen them for [...]
It should be FALL, right? Even in Miami, it should be fall. It should be more like 80º, not 90º, but it isn’t. So to give Mother Nature a hint, I decided to bake Tamarin Cinnamon Apple Sticky Rolls. Tonight is also the beginning of another 7-day Jewish holiday, Sukkot. Since my mother is making [...]
I traditionally like to make a brisket – pan seared and oven roasted with onions, carrots, and potatoes – on Erev Yom Kippur (Yom Kippur Eve). Of course, I like to make brisket every so often during the year – holiday or no – but especially for those of us observing the fast on Yom [...]
The PhotoHunt theme this week is “Sweet” I can’t think of anything much sweeter than the Macaroons I baked for Passover. Okay, there’s a sweet little giveaway for my U.S. and Canadian readers at the end of this post, too! These wonderfully chewy almond and coconut drop cookies are so easy to make and keep [...]
Continuing yesterday’s discussion, I said that we’re not permitted to eat any yeast-raised breads during Passover. But we all still have to go to work and the kids have to go to school, so what are we supposed to do about lunch? I remember, as a kid, having to go to school with sandwiches made [...]
Passover starts tomorrow (Monday) night, beginning a week of probably the most food-centric holiday on the Jewish calendar. To mark the passing of our ancestors from bondage to freedom, and the haste in which that was accomplished (read your Exodus, people… No, the Bible, not the Leon Uris novel!), we are prohibited from eating anything [...]
The PhotoHunt theme this week is “Daily” Many people joke that, if you look at a Jewish calendar, it almost seems as if there’s some sort of holiday Daily. It does seem that way sometimes! For instance, tomorrow we celebrate the holiday of Purim. Purim celebrates the story told in the Old Testament Book of [...]
