Hamentaschen
My last post was about needing to lose my winter weight, so it may seem odd for the following post to be about sweets. But it is time for Purim, and that means hamentaschen! Luckily, one of the traditions of Purim is to give gifts of food, so pretty much all that we bake will…
Cammy’s Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes
Cam has two treats planned for Valentine’s Day – chocolate raspberry sweetheart cupcakes and candy-filled heart cookies. He started with the cupcakes… His inspiration for these came from the Sweetheart Cupcakes in “Cupcakes and More” cookbook he picked out at Disney World last year. I enjoy the fact that my son, who can typically be…
Uncle Jack’s Mandel Bread
As a child, I so looked forward to when my Uncle Jack would come to our house…he often had a loaf of mandel bread with him. Those days were a special treat, Uncle Jack’s mandel bread was pretty much my favorite food in the world, second only to…..Twizzlers. Orange juice dough, candied cherries, almonds and…
Cammy’s Halloween Spice Cookies
My self-proclaimed “Top Chef” is back; Cammy has returned to the kitchen! His first project…Halloween cookies he saw in a book. He then made his father buy the book for him, so his personal cookbook collection is now up to 3. He also likes to get story books that include a recipe related to the…

Aunt Gussie’s Rugelach – Memorial Repost
My Aunt Gussie passed away this morning. In honor of her wonderful life, her warmth, love and good food I am reposting her Rugelach recipe. I could always show up at her house and be welcomed with a meal. I think she always cooked extra food, just in case. Aunt Gussie, you will be missed…
Matzoh Bark – Chocolate Peppermint and Peanut Butter Banana
OK, I admit it, there is absolutely nothing local about this treat. But I realized that I promised the recipe, so here it is… This version is adapted from one by Zoe Francois. I made 1 1/2 times her recipe for caramel and doubled the number of trays. I also decided to make one tray…
Cammy’s Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cammy woke up wanting cookies. I don’t remember him ever asking for cookies, but today, that was what he wanted. Problem was, we did not have any cookies in the house, so we needed to make some. After a bit of debate (seems like everything with my 3 year old is a debate), he and…
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
I love having daughters who like to bake. We are getting spoiled by hearing “what can we make?” whenever they are home. I have already shared posts of Arielle’s zucchini chocolate chip bread, this time it was Emily who came home and wanted to bake. Emily had just made pumpkin bread at school so she…
