I really never thought I would be cooking collard greens, or even stranger, growing it – and lots of it! Nor that I would find collard green dishes that are kosher and healthy and that even my 7 year old would eat – which he did! (although he did call this spicy, so less red pepper…

Baked Sweet Potato Chips
My son and I went out to a local farm to pick some pumpkins. And, unlike most of the farms where they pick the pumpkins then lay them out in a field for you to “pick”, we were out in the real pumpkin field and cut the pumpkins we wanted off their vines. The pumpkins…
Eggs and Lox on Challah
What can you do with leftover Challah when you are not in the mood for french toast? How can you eat lox if you don’t have any cream cheese? Never fear, I have the solution. A Challah, egg and lox open-faced sandwich! You’ll be tempted to pick it up and bite it, but it is really…
Out of this World Honey Challah
I was wandering around on the website that I got the crown of roses challah from and found this Turban Challah. It looked like an interesting braiding challenge, so I thought I would try it. And, the recipe included a recipe for a honey challah that I figured I would try. I didn’t have any great expectations,…
Chicken Cutlets
Swim team has started, so we are now running out every weeknight to either soccer practice or swim practice, so we have about a 20-30 minute window for dinner. Luckily, most nights, my husband picks my son up after work and brings him home, so I have the opportunity to have dinner ready when…
Greek White Bean & Vegetable Stew
I am always surprised when I walk out to the garden. I expect to see the parsnips and Jerusalem artichokes that are not yet ready for harvest, not the but late season tomatoes we are still getting. They were perfect for a stew to serve to our vegetarian daughter when she came home to visit….
Sukkot Lulav Challah
My cousin shared a picture of an amazing challah with me, a challah for Sukkot shaped like a lulav and etrog. I took one look and knew I had to try to do it. And I honestly can’t believe how beautiful it turned out! For this much shaping, I used a heavier dough. Too stiff for the standing…
Doogh (Persian Yogurt Soda)
I wanted to make my husband very happy, so along with a Persian dinner, I decided to make some doogh. Doogh is a yogurt soda that is pretty much the most popular dinner drink in Iran. Doogh is sour and fizzy and minty. For non-Persians Doogh may be an acquired taste. We would go to Persian…
Honey Date Cake
We had a delicious honey date cake for dessert during Rosh Hashanah. I usually don’t like honey cakes, but I actually made a big mistake while making the cake and added twice the honey than I was supposed to. I made other adjustments to the recipe to counteract the extra honey and the cake was…
Sweet Potato Kugel
We had a bountiful sweet potato harvest this year. Not only are they plentiful, they are huge! So I guess you will be seeing a bunch of sweet potato posts this fall and winter. To start off with, I made a sweet potato kugel for Rosh Hashanah. I loved the flavor, but the cayenne…
