This is a recipe full of memories which crosses many chapters in my life. Today I’m a bit melancholy and misty-eyed as I remember my (ex) Mother-in-Law who passed a year ago would make blintzes for the Jewish celebrations and my own Mother who now suffers from dementia, used this recipe to make Palatschinke, a […]

I’m going to admit this right now. I have a crush on Mark Bittman. Okay, it’s out there. I fessed up to my Hubby this weekend so he wouldn’t get jealous. This crush has been going on for a while now but I just never admitted publicly. Too late now, huh? Why the crush? First […]

I tossed them with cooked spaghetti squash and everyone raved about them! This is a perfect way to preserve the flavor […]

In the midst of all this pumpkin-feasting…I was asked to prepare toasted pumpkin seeds for my cooking demonstration. Hmmm….toasted pumpkin seeds.
