This is something we’ve been eating a lot of lately. It’s a good change from a regular pizza, and something that I LOVE. I saw it on the menu of a pizza shop years ago, and went home and made my own. Lettuce and beans on a pizza sounds weird at first, but it’s great! …

Yep, we’re making a mummy chicken. For real. We’ve been studying some basic facts about ancient Egyptians, including their writing system, which was among the first in the world, and their burial practices. Without getting to much into why, we compared how we prepare bodies for burial with how they did, and read some articles …

Today we made matza (unleavened bread) for parshat Bo and Shabbat meals this week. We had a fun time making it, but can definitely appreciate buying it for Passover instead of having to make it ourselves with so much pressure. We managed to make it in 18 minutes in small batches, but we didn’t make …

This lamb stew is a favorite for both Pesach and Parshat Bo. Actually, I think my husband would be perfectly happy if I chose to serve it every week! We like it over rice (even on Passover – my Sephardi roots are showing!), couscous, or even plain. We usually do it in our crockpot, and …

In honor of the traditional Jewish X-mas (eg. Chinese food and a movie), here’s a good “Chinese” recipe. You’re on your own for the movie! This has been our favorite Chinese chicken recipe for years. The kids don’t like it hot, while my husband prefers to have his mouth burned off. You can …

OK….so that title might be a little more grandiose than the reality. Maybe. But I’ve started re-stocking up my freezer, and that means chronicling the great freezer kugel adventure here at OJH! What does it mean? Basically, I have a bunch of kugels/quiches/veggie dishes frozen in quantity. I try to make a big batch of …

Today, I septupled this recipe to make kugels to freeze. (Pretty sure that’s right – septupled? Seventhed isn’t right, so I’m going with septupled… 😉 ) One batch makes enough for about 1 9 inch square pan, to serve 3-4 for a main course or 6-8 for a side dish. Good for Passover, too! Broccoli …

For holiday parties, I call them eggnogg cookies. This recipe makes 3-4 dozen cookies 1C margarine (or butter, for dairy cookies) 1.5C sugar …

Speaking of cookies (and all those cookie recipes!), there is a lot of science that goes into making cookies. A lot could go wrong, but here are some things that make cookies… have a sticky dough: not enough flour too warm (chill in fridge/freezer briefly) have a crumbly or dry texture: Not enough fat Not …
