Moroccan Stuffed Mushrooms

I told you how obsessed I am with all things Moroccan lately. Well I’ve been making Moroccan fish, I already told you about my Moroccan chili and I dream about what else I can make with these flavors. My older son has been watching his waistline so I’ve been trying to come up with healthy options for him to eat along with the rest of the family. I know he has a big love for all things mushroom and I was in the produce store the other day and...

Moroccan Chili Recipe

Lately, I have been obsessed with all things Moroccan. I even think I need to take a trip to Morocco and I’ve been getting a lot of pressure from a certain Maître D and his brother to do so. For now, I guess I’ve decided to just cook with their spices and amazing Ingredients. For the Super Bowl, I made a Moroccan chili which was devoured before I even was able to serve it granted I started off with only a small amount, I just figured...

Zucchini Chips

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 requested dish were zucchini chips which are super easy, relatively healthy and definitely always gobbled up in a flash. It’s no wonder why when food is...

Sausage Veggie Bowls

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 an avid sausage lover. For these bowls I actually used kielbasa, a garlicky thick type of a cured sausage you might call it. I used...

Oyster Steak

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 quality. I rely on American meat for that quality, and usually meat from Alle Processing /Meal Mart never lets me down. A good piece of meat should need nothing but salt and...

“Chicken” Parm Sandwiches

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 out tonight. I was so excited to make tonight’s dinner. A while back I used to make “chicken” Parmesan sandwiches with an Israeli brand...

Beef Fry Potato Bombs

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 about the potatoes. I need to get really creative for her because I get bored easily and I need to keep changing things up. I kind of got the inspiration for this from...

Somewhat Chunky Potato Soup

When night starts at about 4:30PM now it usually means it’s cold outside. I start making a big pot of soup every week to get me through dinners, and maybe even a lunch or two. Soup is easy to make, comes together quick, the kids love it especially with croutons, and it’s healthy. Oh did I mention the kids love it. I try and come up with different soups throughout the winter. Most of my soups start with a caramelized onion. I feel this adds...

Roman Style Artichokes

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 house and make sure I could eat them. One dish that was always on their menu was artichokes Roman style that were fried in this amazing garlic and lemon sauce....

Pastrami Chicken Roll Ups

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 at home. It really isn’t hard to make but looks so pretty and fancy people think you slaved all day in the kitchen. The frying is mostly for the color and to...
