I took the kids Apple picking the other day. It was such a fun experience. Not only are apples so good off the tree, but the kids had a fun time tasting each of the apple varieties to see which one they liked best. The Macintosh has always been a favorite of mine but the Macoun and the E Empire were pretty amazing. Maybe anything off a tree is just amazing. Fresh picked apples have this crunch that you just don’t get from an Apple you purchase...
It’s the fall and leaves are starting to turn colors and fall off the trees. The pumpkin spice latte is in full force and my local Trader Joe’s looks like a pumpkin exploded and landed into every product in the shelves. Happy to say I’m a big fan of it all. I fell in love with Trader Joe’s non-dairy pumpkin ice cream and felt the need to recreate it so I can serve it at my Shabbos table. The best part is that it’s so easy to make...
The last licks of summer is still here. It’s definitely hot enough to be summer that’s for sure. I still am getting amazing peaches, nectarines, and plums and the yummy stone fruits from the local supermarkets. I’m really picky with my stone fruit and I like it to be rock hard. If it doesn’t pass my touch test then it goes straight to be baked. I like making peach crisp for dessert in the summer because they are super simple easy and I...
I have been making this recipe for years, mostly year round because my kids love it. In fact I think they prefer this over cake any day of the week. It’s not a cake so it doesn’t need to taste like cake and it’s not a cookie so no need to try and make it taste like a cookie. It’s a meringue. It has a nice crunchy bite to the “crust” with a softness in the middle that both ultimately melt in your mouth. It is a 2 piece recipe but...
I have a huge addiction to hot cookies. I just love when they come out of the oven burning hot especially ones with ooey gooey chocolate chips. My diet says no but my brain just tells it to shut up and have it and just live a little. So knowing this I’ve been living a lot. I really try and eat healthy and cook clean I just can’t get the need for cookies out of my head. I needed to come up with something that’s not as dangerous as a...
Guest post recipe by Faigy Murray Carrot Cake I’ve been making carrot muffins for my kids for as long as I can remember. They freeze amazing and I know what’s in it as opposed to store bought stuff. I was making a batch today for my baby and thought hey! What would happen if I make it into a nice Bundt cake and take it up a notch and add a cream cheese layer. Cuz everything is better with cream cheese!! And voila! It came out amazing!!...
