experimental cooking can be tasty or turn into a snafood...
I decided to take a stab at making my own version of my favorite Amy’s Kitchen dinner. I would buy it every so often when I wanted to indulge in a spicy, hot lunch. But at about $6 a pop, my simple indulgence was losing its allure and my experimental nature took over. This recipe [...]
Because of this dish’s sweetness, it also would be a wonderful entrée to serve during Rosh Hashanah! This year, I’ll be pairing it with all the lovely new fruits and vegetables of the season. Crisp autumn apples with honey, pomegranate cocktails {waggle}, sweet potato and carrot tzimmes, grilled honey pears, and apple cake for dessert. [...]
Brisket can be a tricky beast to tame. In order to transform this normally tough cut of meat into a tender, juicy love-fest; you’ll need patience. Slow and low is the best way to cook a brisket. And there’s a reason for this method. As collagen cooks, it slowly turns into gelatin and dissolves into [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I had the pleasure of hosting this month’s Stitch and B*tch at our house for the first time since were finally settled into our new home. I was excited and wanted to share this newish meal with the ladies. I made it the week before for our Shabbat dinner and it was a big hit [...]
The combination of cilantro, ginger and garlic really seem to play well with this hearty salad. I let it chill overnight so it would be served for Saturday dinner and it held up beautifully. Health benefits to consider within this salad :: Collard Greens – An incredibly nourishing veggie! An excellent source of vitamins C, [...]
Here you will find experimental recipes, old and new. Buried in the archives you'll find all sorts of recipes! As time went on, there was a shift and many recipes were given a kosher twist as new family changes and traditions were introduced in our home. I'm still learning and I'm certainly no expert on the ways of a kosher kitchen. But I'm taking it all in and doing my best!
PR interest? It's gotta be strictly kosher and preferably organic - drop me a line!
