Cheese-Filled Braided Bread

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 it’s not! […]

Blintzes and Palatschinke

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 favorite […]

Julia’s Cranberry Sauce

I have a sweet little surprise waiting for my family tonight. Let’s say a little “Thanksgiving Preview”… I present to you Julia Child’s cranberry sauce.

Russian Tea Biscuits

Do I have your attention now? I know, it’s been a while since I’ve shared delish with you…I finally have my mojo back from vacation and am ready […]

So I didn’t tell Hubby what was in them… Sweet potatoes and jelly muffins! Cook yourself up some sweet taters… Mash ‘em […]

Sunshine in a Jar: Lemon Curd

It’s time for a little sunshine to brighten your day – and mouth… Lemon Curd. Oh how I love lemons. Lemon pies. Lemon tarts. Lemon curd. Lemons are happiness, […]

We be Jammin’

Everywhere I turned these days, I see strawberries! My favorite market had flats full of juicy, sweet, red berries just begging to come home with me. Sure I could have made a shortcake recipe or pie recipe for you but let’s do something that will last through the year.   With Mother’s Day this weekend […]
