A few weeks ago, I was able to go apple picking with all my children. Now that the girls are adults, it is rare to get all of them together, and even more rare to be able to all be together on an excursion. But on this cold but sunny day, we all went to Milburn Orchards…

Apple-Cinnamon Challah
Apples and Honey – the traditional foods to eat together to express our hopes for a sweet year to come. So, why not combine the two in one challah? I used the dough recipe from the date challah, since it was so delicious. And this challah was just as delicious, it was a hit with…
