I had not intended to write a post about making this bread. But once I made the filling, I realized how good this was going to be. So there are only a few pictures…but much enjoyment! With lemon cream cheese and lemon curd fillings, this is basically a cross between a bread and a danish. Perfect…

Banana Maple Matzoh Brei
By the end of Passover I am always scrambling for some way to excite my family, and myself, about one more matzoh meal. Last year, I saved Martha Stewart’s Banana Maple Matzoh Brei for the last lunch of Passover. And what a treat is was! But be careful, our bananas were almost over-ripe so it…
Win’s Quiche Lorraine (well, my rustic, kosher version)
It was with fond memories that I made my former mother-in-law’s quiche lorraine. Win was a terrific woman, whom I was honored and blessed to have in my life. My daughters loved her quiche lorraine, but since I do not eat pork, it was a dish I wouldn’t make. This week I decided to try…
Persian Breakfast
One of my favorite things about visiting my father-in-law in Tehran is breakfast. The simplicity, taste, texture and ritual of it. Simplicity: 3 or 4 ingredients (it started as 3, but my daughter introduced the 4th – honey): Flat, almost paper-thin bread (the closest thing I can find here is lavash) Feta, not Greek feta,…
Za’atar & Cream Cheese Muffins with Lox Breakfast Sandwiches
I have to apologize for accidentally posting just the early picture for this. Sometimes when I work on my phone, I forget that it automatically posts if I don’t specifically set it up as a draft. I saw the post for za’atar and cheese cupcakes on Taste of Emarat and had to create my own muffin-like…
Roasted Winter Vegetable Strata (Jerusalem Artichokes, Brussels Sprouts & Spinach)
My search for new uses for my Jerusalem artichokes led me to an unexpected place today. I had fully planned on making a roasted vegetable and pasta dinner, but then I spied a half loaf of a hearty whole wheat bread I had made sitting on the counter. As you can see, it was a…
Open-Faced Roasted Vegetable Egg Sandwich – or what to do with leftover roasted vegetables?
Roasted vegetables, one of the greatest gifts of fall and winter. My family loves roasted vegetables, especially cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and winter squash. But we have also added leeks to our list of veggies to roast, they are particularly sweet when roasted. Typically we eat every last piece, but on rare occasions we do…
Sweet Potato Waffles with Marshmallows
I did not grow sweet potatoes this year, but a nearby house did and had so many extras they sold them alongside the road. I bought a few and am putting them to good use. First up – Food Network’s sweet potato waffles with marshmallows. I have to admit that I had a little trouble…
Lentils With Cucumbers, Chard, And Poached Egg
I wasn’t feeling well today; I spent much of it asleep. My stomach had been unsettled for a few days, but today food was not appealing to me and I was dizzy. So my plans for our dinner needed to change. I decided eggs would be good for me, and for some reason I was…
Smoothie Time
We spent our vacation on the beach on Hilton Head Island, SC. It was beautiful… But it was also very hot, and very humid… The last thing I wanted was a hot or heavy breakfast. It was Smoothie Time! Our favorites were… Pomegranate Berry Smoothies And Mango Blueberry Smoothies Pomegranate Berry Smoothies 1/2 cup pomegranate…
