Is it possible to have the goodness of three cookie recipes in one? Oh yes! A healthy recipe that’s also gluten free? Yes! With a pinch of salt on top to counter the sweetness? Yes! Yes! Yes! Crunchy on the outside – chewy on the inside! This recipe is a must make. Guiltless oatmeal, peanut [...]

This Easter I’m switching it up by trying a new recipe for our Easter Bread. Every year I make the traditional Paska that my Mother has made for years – this year I wanted something a bit different. This recipe rocks! It looks like danish with cheese filling. It looks hard to make – but [...]

One of my most favorite things to make in the kitchen is treats for my dogs. I swear they know when something’s going on in the kitchen for them for they stand in front of me – looking so obedient and grateful. My rescue – Polly – will do anything for a home made treat! [...]

So while you were chowing down on wings, pizza and pulled pork sandwiches yesterday – we took a different approach to Superbowl Sunday. I don’t like to do what everyone else is doing and our Superbowl celebration is quite subdued compared to everyone else…in that, I’m not into it. Yes, I watch the commercials and [...]

I bet right about now you could eat one of these…with a tall glass of cold milk. Full disclosure – I’ve already had two! Snickerdoodles! What a funny word – I love saying it. There is no rhyme or reason behind the name of these cookies. I can imagine someone making sugar cookies and decided [...]

While the rest of the world is baking cookies and creating holiday food gifts for their friends and families for Christmas, I decided to mosey into the kitchen and make some treats for my pups.

Surgery is a week away and this weekend, I just wanted to play in my kitchen as I know I soon will be learning to ‘let go’ as my Hubby and daughter take over preparing meals. We were headed to our friend’s house for dinner and I wanted to bring something special for dessert. Hubby [...]

Whoo! What a week this has been! I’m supposed to be slowing down preparing for my knee replacement surgery in a few weeks and life is escalating around me! I don’t mind as I seem to thrive on chaos. And when life hands you chaos – make a casserole! Casseroles offer comfort to the family [...]

Whoa! As soon as I think I have my cooking, my blog and kitchen under control – I get blindsided by another challenge. Thank goodness I love challenges but this time I’m heading down an alley I know nothing about. Gluten free cooking. That’s right, my youngest daughter who is living with us while she [...]

Today is a melancholy day – this week would have been Nonnie’s birthday. Two years ago, Nonnie left us for a better place. It was her time and she left behind warm memories and a large footprint on everyone’s life. Nonnie was my girls’ Jewish grandmother always making traditional Jewish foods like mandel bread, matzo [...]
