I grew up experimenting in the kitchen. We would gather around the kitchen and just create different dishes that appealed to us. We were always a veggie heavy family and I remember that the fridge always had to be stocked a few times a week to keep up with the demand. One favorite, and most […]
Grain and veggie bowls have become increasingly popular. I really enjoy having so many different fun textures in one bowl. It’s also a super easy meal with all the veggies grains and proteins in one dish. I love roasted veggies because of the sweetness that comes out of the veggies once roasted and I am also […]
I love a really good steak. There are so many different variations of meat it gets confusing in the meat aisle. I’m a big rib steak fan but lately I’ve been turned on to other cuts. I learned the hard way that if you want steak you can actually chew it has to be good […]
I love to just explore supermarkets and check out new or exciting things on the shelves. The other day I came across these vegan breaded chicken patties from Mon Cuisine in the freezer section, and bought it knowing exactly what I wanted to do with it. I kept it in the freezer and finally took it […]
I have a daughter who loves potatoes. She loves them in any way shape and form. Kugel, roasted mashed I need to make every Shabbos or I guess off with my head. In our house I guess you call them shalom bayis foods. For me it’s roasted eggplant and techina and for her it’s all […]

Growing up my parents had these family friends who were Italian. They would always create all these amazing dishes in their kitchen that were off limits to us since they were not kosher. I would just look at their food and drool. One day I said I was going to create these dishes in my […]
On yontif we used eat by the Rabbi of the shul for a meal. His rebbetzin is an amazing cook! She always made the most yummy and intricate dishes. One meal she made pastrami stuffed chicken and I will never forget it. I really enjoyed it so much I needed to recreate my own version […]
My absolute favorite dairy dish of all time is Eggplant Parmesan. Breaded fried eggplant slices layered with homemade sauce and tons of mozzarella cheese, it’s the stuff of dairy dreams. Whenever I make it for an event it is the first thing people run to -but, let’s face it, it’s not the healthiest dish and […]
There is something about Brussel sprouts that either has you going eww not for me or yum, I can’t get enough. For those who said eww I just don’t think you know how to cook them. Lots of people over cook them until they are mushy, smelly little suckers that I wouldn’t touch with a ten […]
