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 friend told me shredded coconut makes her think of toenail clippings, and now I’m thinking about them …

My kiddos and I have made matza several times – for parshat Bo and demonstrating for Passover (although we never actually made it for Passover!). This is a great hands-on activity for kids. Knowing the theory and then actually doing it are two different things! We had a fun time making it, but can definitely appreciate buying …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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! …

Here is a colorful, rich cookie for dessert, especially good for Parshat Noach (rainbow) and Parshat Vayeshev (Joseph’s coat of many colors). It’s based on a Epicurious recipe with just a few tweaks and adjustments. It’s a lot of steps, but it’s not so much actual work, and it’s worth it. We served about half …

This recipe was a huge hit for Sukkot–you’re looking at the last piece, which only survived so I could snap this shot. Then I had to get out of the way before it got eaten. It’s that good! (And dare I mention really easy, AND from a box?!) So to our guests who requested the …

If, for some reason, I forgot to write down the kind of salad dressing I was planning to buy, and thus forgot to check it and add it to my shopping list for a holiday, this invented-on-the-spot dressing would be a good substitute. Good even for lunches with guests. In fact, it would earn compliments …
