Marshmallow Bees for Rosh Hashanah

This is a fun project that my kiddos and I made to get ready for Rosh Hashanah. In case you can’t tell, baking and doing dessert-type things is my favorite! I came up with this idea to top the honey cupcakes we are planning, and the kids wanted to help. They are cute and sweet …

Caramel Apple Snickerdoodles (non-dairy)

I had some apples that were going bad – bruises and wrinkling skin. My kids, normally voracious apple eaters, wouldn’t touch them. So I made a crumble, and then I searched for something else. This recipe caught my eye because it had apples and because the fat in it is melted – it’s so easy …

Rosh Hashana planning – 2 weeks out (simanim)

Time to get thinking about Rosh Hashanah more seriously. I have done most of the things on my early prep list. Now it’s time to menu plan!

Rosh Hashana shopping resources

It’s Elul, the month before we celebrate all month long (Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot). While there is certainly a lot of spiritual prep to do, I’ll leave that to others (some good starting points are: Chabad’s Elul page and Aish’s spirituality page). There is a lot that needs to be done to prepare our …

A short break – and Tishrei is coming!

You may have noticed it’s been a while since I posted. I’ve been in and out of the hospital and sent home to the US to deal with the issue. It’s been me and 4 kids, and the blog has taken a back seat. Everything seems to be back to normal with my health, but …

Tishrei looking back: What went right? (And wrong?)

We made it through the Tishrei holidays! Now we are on a higher level. But next-year-you will LOVE this-year-you if you jot down some notes about what went right, what went wrong, what time shul went until (Simchat Torah is a always late and different shuls get out at different times, so to plan ahead, …
