Cabbage, Kale & Carrot Latkes

A latke recipe? in October? Really? Who says  latkes are only for Hanukkah? Not me.  Pan-fried patties made of vegetables are good any day, especially when the combination of the vegetables results in such a pretty color palette. As I have mentioned, the kale in my garden has escaped the jaws of the groundhog.  Looking…

Mushroom Noodle Latkes

Here is an amazing Hanukkah recipe from Chabad.org.  As you can tell, I love making latkes, and enjoy making latkes out of non-traditional foods, like apple or spinach & feta.  So, I just had to try noodle-based latkes.  And, one or our daughters was going to be home and she loves mushrooms, so this was…

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…

Spinach, Potato & Feta Latkes

Potato Latkes

Happy Hanukkah!
