Passover desserts have never been one of my strengths, but since I was heading to upstate New York for the holiday, I needed something easy to transport. So, a cake it would be. And I would trust the ultimate Jewish cookbook writer to guide me…Joan Nathan. There would be no wheat flour in this cake,…

Passover Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cam has been in the mood for chocolate chip cookies, so why should he have to skip them on Passover. It was tough to find Kosher for Passover chocolate chips in Delaware, so I ordered some online. Once I had the chips, these were so simple, just 5 ingredients: almond butter, chips, brown sugar, eggs…
Chocolate & Peanut Butter Hamantaschen
With Purim coming on Thursday, Sunday was Hamantaschen baking day. I decided to make 2 different types this year, date-filled and Chocolate & Peanut Butter. The CPB’s came out surprisingly well. The texture is great, it is like eating a cookie version of a reese’s cup. The dough itself was delicious, just the perfect amount…
Pumpkin Spiced Chocolate Chip Cookies
More cookies…good cookies…pumpkin cookies! I decided to make three versions of this cookie – plain chocolate chip, pecan and walnut. All three were a hit! My 5 year old downed the plain chocolate chip, one daughter the pecan, her friend the walnut, and another daughter loved them all. I send care packages back to…
Cammy’s Cookies
My little top chef has returned to the kitchen. He has been making breakfasts and helping me with dinners. But his preference now is to bake. For MY birthday, he gave me a cookie cookbook for us to use together. Of course we are using the recipes as guides and adapting as we see fit….
Apple Pecan Crumb Top Pie
It had been way too long since I last made this pie (decades). It used to be a yearly occurrence. Every thanksgiving I would make this pie, sometimes with the assistance of a beautiful little helper. I am posting the recipe so that she will now have it to make with her beautiful little helpers….
Carrot Poppy Seed Bundt Cake
I can’t resist using my vegetables in baked goods. Our freezer is already filled with 3 different versions of zucchini (or pattypan squash) bread, so what is next? This carrot poppyseed bundt cake. My carrot harvest has been the best I have ever had. They look good, they taste good. This version of carrot cake…
Dark and White Chocolate Cheesecake
It was Arielle’s birthday, time to make my white chocolate cheesecake. She and Cam were making chocolate chip cookies, so they had all the baking chocolate out on the counter. But, to my surprise, there was only half the white chocolate than I needed. Oh, I was frustrated, I had already run to the store for…
Macerated Strawberries
I didn’t think you could make strawberries taste any better than they do fresh out of the garden. But I was intrigued by the recipe for macerated strawberries in The Batali Brothers Cookbook by Benno and Leo Batali (Mario’s sons). It was so simple, I just had to try it. Again I used a mix of my…
Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp for Breakfast
It is always a good day when I get to stop at Filaskys Produce in Middletown, DE. At first I was nervous because they only had a sign up for asparagus; but then I saw them, the beautiful Filasky strawberries! After a conversation catching up with Cindy Filasky, I walked out with their strawberries, rhubarb…
