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 …

Pumpkin Cranberry Pecan muffins
Mmm…these are fantastic – and relatively healthy! I was looking for a good muffin recipe for a playgroup I host, and I had some pumpkin and craisins on hand. I almost put in some coconut as well, but a friendĀ told me shredded coconut makes her think of toenail clippings, and now I’m thinking about them …

Chocolate cherry cola cake with red vine filling update (and recipe-ish)
Remember how I wrote yesterday that I was behind in getting cupcakes churned out? Well, I finished 2 dozen cupcakes and baked the rest into a 3 layer cake. I didn’t love the recipe as I made it, but here’s where I got my inspiration: Kitchen Tested Red Vine Licorice Cupcakes. Of course, I didn’t …

Toasted coconut cake batter blondies
Yum. My house smells amazing because I’m making these. Again. To give away, of course…after we “taste test” them. This recipe starts with a cake mix and is so easy to make! You can easily make them dairy or parve, so it would be great for a Shabbat dessert, a bake sale, or a dinner …

Mikeitz activity and Snow Dough Recipe
This week is Parshat Mikeitz (check out the list of parshat Mikeitz activity and project ideas, or the whole list under the Parsha tab along the top!). So we did this fun and easy sensory activity to reenact finding the cup in the sack of grain. First, I took a plastic shoebox and dumped in …

Mom’s Sour Cream Sugar Cookies
Hanuka (Hanukkah / Chanuka / Chanukkah) is coming, and I’ve been searching my brain for an interesting recipe to contribute. We aren’t really big fans of frying, although we love dairy. It’s been tough to find a food I want to write about because we don’t eat a lot of “fancy” traditional food. Don’t get …

Chicken with vinegar and wine sauce
Looking for a different chicken recipe? This is a take on an old Sefardic recipe for “Gallina a la Vinegreta,” originally located in the cookbook “Jewish Cooking in America” by Joan Nathan. (I have a very old version, but the link is to an updated cookbook.) It’s a little off the beaten track, but really …

In my kitchen today…
Wow. The kitchen gets a lot of use in my house! Inspired by several blogs that have chronicled their kitchen for a day, I’ve decided to open my kitchen to readers, too. All 4 kids are home all day (BH!) and we’re often doing things together. Here’s our Tuesday (and a loose recipe!) We served …

Whatever happened to pharaoh chicken?
Passover, Passover…I’m ready for a break from my prep. So I’m going to update you on a fun longer-term project we’ve been doing. Remember how we’re making a mummy? Well, we’re still at it. It’s been almost two months, and we’ve been changing the salt mix about once a week. After the first week, it …

Indonesian Peanut Saute
Sometimes, I browse restaurant sites looking for things that sound good.You know, when things are getting a little too repetitive and the what’s-for-dinner monster is looming? I’ve seen versions of this recipe in several places (like here or here), originally from the (not kosher) restaurant Noodles and co., and it sounded so good, I wanted …
