Nothing says Autumn like pumpkin. And I happen to have some extra pumpkin purée in my fridge. How better to use it than in a pumpkin challah! I should share why I had pumpkin purée hanging around. Earlier in the week, Cam and I made pumpkin cupcakes…pumpkin skeleton cupcakes. They were our adorable skeleton army….

Lentils With Cucumbers, Chard, And Poached Egg
I wasn’t feeling well today; I spent much of it asleep. My stomach had been unsettled for a few days, but today food was not appealing to me and I was dizzy. So my plans for our dinner needed to change. I decided eggs would be good for me, and for some reason I was…
The Challah Project #12 – Savory Tomato Stuffed Challah
I am starting to write this while the challah is still in the oven. Not something I typically do, but this has seemed like such a fiasco, I want to capture it all, in case the challah actually comes out well. First, I probably was on the low side for flour, it was an incredibly…
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…
Fresh Lima Bean Gratin
I was not able to get lima beans planted this year and I have been really missing having had a lima bean harvest. So, when Cam and I went to the farm store, we both jumped on the bushels of lima beans. Now that I have so many beans in my refrigerator, I need to…
Kale Salad
Something has been eating the fall plants in my garden. Although the plants are atill small, the other day I harvested as much kale and Swiss chard as I could. I washed them, placed them in a single layer on paper towels, rolled them up, placed them in a plastic bag in the fridge. That…
Pasta with Kale Pesto and Roasted Butternut Squash
Time to use the first of the butternut squash from my garden. It was “parents night out”, with Cam spending the evening at Tae Kwan Do. So, our version of night out – a good dinner, a walk with the dog, and a movie rental. We finally watched The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel –…
Zucchini Tian with Curried Bread Crumbs
This was going to be my last dish with the zucchini from my garden, so I wanted it to be a good one. This recipe intrigued me – curry AND rosemary – I wanted to make it, but I wasn’t positive that it was going to actually taste good. Well, it lived up to the hopes…
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…
The Challah Project #10 – Brown Sugar Challah with Pomegranate Glaze …Perfect for the High Holidays

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…
