experimental cooking can be tasty or turn into a snafood...
This is a great summer dessert. The topping inspiration comes from my friend Jen who rattled off her mother’s crumble topping ingredients for me. See Strawberry Pluot Crumble on Key Ingredient.

#1. Those of you who might be on a diet. Just turn back now. That’s the only warning you get. #2. These buns are sweet. And sticky. And glorious. You cannot hold me responsible for how many you eat {see #1}. You cannot hold me responsible for any stickiness that may occur on clothing, tablecloths, [...]
There was a mistake with our produce delivery last week. I was sent the wrong veggie kit in my order. Mistakes happen. I wasn’t going to let the produce go to waste, even if it included cooking something I loathe. Mushrooms. *cringe* I’m not a picky eater. And anything I don’t like is because I’ve [...]
I made these last week for our Shabbat dinner and they were such a hit, I’ll be making them again this week. Such a simple recipe, but this definitely is an impressive dish to set on the table. P.S. This is a great way to get your kids to eat more spinach. Just sayin’… See [...]
I wanted to make a dairy-free/parve cupcake for us to nibble on Sunday. If I can help it, I prefer making desserts dairy-free so that way we can enjoy them no matter what we’ve eaten earlier. All vegan recipes I found called for soy milk – which is fine, but I didn’t feel like making [...]
I’m not a huge fan of baked/slow cooked beans, but I find myself hoping that “maybe this time” they’ll be amazing. I can only think of a couple of times that I liked someone’s bake beans or barbecue beans. They’ve always been missing something. And more often than not the canned versions in the store [...]
Here’s a great roll over meal. On the first night, roast a chicken {bone in, skin on, cut into 8 pieces}. Keep it simple: » Preheat oven to 350° F. » Rinse chicken and pat dry. » Season both sides with paprika, garlic powder, and pepper. » Place pieces in a deep casserole dish, or [...]
Usually, I dress salads with oil and vinegar, to keep it light and simple. But sometimes it’s nice to have a creamy, tangy dressing. I used to love blue cheese dressing. The only trick is keeping it kosher when we’re eating meat. The solution? A dairy-free dressing that uses organic tofu to play the role [...]
Last Shabbat, I challenged myself to use mostly ingredients I had on hand. Aside from a lime, cilantro, and avocado I had everything for this recipe already. Driving down the cost while keeping it simple. I could stand to do this more often, really. Too easily, I get caught up in trying to make a [...]
I love pot pies… for the most part. What I don’t like is soggy tops that sink into the middle. Call it crazy, but I created a fake out pot pie last week that fixed the soggy top issue and even left out the bottom so there’s more emphasis on the tasty veggies! Call it [...]
Here you will find experimental recipes, old and new. A couple years ago my recipes were given a kosher twist as family changes and traditions were introduced in our home. It's a humbling learning process, but I enjoy it. While I am certainly no expert on the ways of a kosher kitchen, I am taking it all in and doing my best. 
PR interest? It's gotta be strictly kosher and preferably organic - drop me a line!
