A traditional treat served for Chanukah is Sufganiyot, jelly-filled doughnuts. I’ll be attempting my first batch of Sufganiyot later this week. But until then, these delicious cupcakes are making our taste buds quite happy. And they’re pretty, to boot! Star of David cupcake wrappers by Bella Cupcake Couture.

We were fortunate to enjoy a bounty of local cherries this summer. I made sure to order extras in our produce order each week just so I could make a clafouti. If you think a clafouti is too fancy for you to make, think again. It’s incredibly easy and still mighty impressive to serve your [...]
Fall has officially started and with that brings a new bounty! This is my favorite season. The air is crisp, nature’s colors are changing, and the food offers a familiar comfort. Apples are the epitome of autumn fruit in Washington. I think we are quite fortunate to have such delicious apples locally. This time of [...]

A couple of weeks back while prepping dinner, my mom and I were talking about jicama. She hadn’t used it before and I just so happened to be using it in a Sweet Carrot Salad. After tasting a slice, she wondered what it would taste like in a quasi carrot cake type muffin {or muffies, [...]
Disclaimer: I cannot be held responsible for how many of these delectable treats you consume. Often times I will post pictures on Facebook while I’m in the kitchen doing prep. This time I threw myself under the bus a little with just how pleased I was with the outcome: “Ever have one of those gluttonous [...]
After Passover, I had a bit of Charoset left {Streit’s brand} and figured I’d better put it to good use. It is a tasty mixture, after all! For an added treat, serve with a small slice of Charoset Sponge Cake! See Charoset Baked Apple on Key Ingredient. Charoset Baked Apple Print Recipe type: Dessert, Author: [...]

We had my mom over to celebrate her birthday {belated} on Sunday. It was a fun treat to make her a birthday dinner and cake. Growing up, she was the one to cater to us on our birthdays. I made her an angel food cake topped with dairy-free chocolate, since I knew we’d be having [...]
Last week was our first time celebrating Passover. It also meant more restrictions in our kitchen and with our meal planning. I learned a lot from the experience and next year I can only be better prepared. Here’s very brief run down about keeping kosher for Passover and an intro to charoset… The most prevalent [...]
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!
