I thought I was done with innovative ways to make yummy potato latkes last year when I did the golden latkes with turmeric. But then I saw a little blurb in Food Network Magazine’s 50 cheese appetizers for pepper jack latkes. Ooh, that was intriguing. These vie with the spinach, potato and feta latkes for my…

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…
Date Glazed Orange Chicken
I want to share a recipe I used for one of our Rosh Hashanah dinners. It has wonderful flavors, but was simple to make so it could be made for any dinner where you want to enjoy the flavors of dates and oranges. It does take a little prep ahead of time. The first…
Cousin Bentzi’s Noodle Kugel
How many ways can you say “yum!”? I think this may be my favorite noodle kugel recipe ever. I guess is should give you some context. My cousin Bentzi lives in Israel and we have never met. But we have bonded over our mutual love of cooking and feeding people. He sent me his recipe for…
Challah Project # 11 – Raisin Honey Challah
After making what we decided was the perfect challah for Rosh Hashanah (Brown Sugar Challah with Pomegranate Glaze) about 3 weeks before Rosh Hashanah, I couldn’t make it again for the actual holiday, it was too soon for a repeat. So, I decided to try an experiment for our ‘real-time’ holiday challot. I had plenty of high-gluten…
Honey Cookies
I love Rosh Hashanah. And I love eating honey: honey and apples, honey in the challah, honey on the challah, honey apple cake, honey on my chicken… honey, honey, honey! Of course that also means local honey. Luckily we have a lot of local honey to choose from. These are just a few that happen…

Two of my favorites are Date Challah and Apple Cinnamon Challah; but now we may have a new favorite – Brown Sugar Challah with Pomegranate Glaze! It is beautiful on the outside and sweet and enticing on the inside.It captures the wishes for a sweet year and just brings…
The Challah Project #5 – Triple Chocolate Chip Challah
The Challah project continues. This past Shabbat was also my husband’s birthday, so as a treat I made the recipe for Triple Chocolate Chip Challah from girlversusdough.com. To be honest, the dough itself came out a bit heavy, but I think the concept is a fun one. So some other time I will try…
The Challah Project #3 – Saffron Challah
I experimented a lot with the process for this challah. I had read about proofing the dough overnight in the fridge and decided to try it; it would be much easier for time management purposes to mix the dough the evening before, sticking it in the fridge and braid and bake in the morning. Well it worked almost too well, the dough more…
The Challah Project #2 – Another Take on Almond Challah
We all really enjoyed the almond challah two weeks ago, so I wasn’t all that excited to be making another one this week, figuring, how different could it be? Well, that was a whole grain challah – substantive, great for sandwiches, a really goo general all-around bread. This challah was a buttery loaf of deliciousness,…
