experimental cooking can be tasty or turn into a snafood...
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 [...]
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 [...]
Everything started out swell. I had found a dairy-free chocolate cake recipe online. It was coming together beautifully. My measurements were correct. The batter seemed perfect. I popped the cake pan in the oven. Set the timer and made sure to not peek until it went off. I’m pretty sure the writer of this recipe [...]
Yesterday I shared my version of a Chocolate Giant Cupcake recipe. Today, I put the finishing touches on it. I made the same chocolate ganache that I used on chocolate cupcakes at her 1st birthday party {find two cupcake recipes on that post} For the Ganache :: 1 1/4 cups heavy cream 11.5 ounces fine-quality [...]
Charlie’s 2nd birthday is this weekend. Her turning two is kind of a big deal. That means she will be introduced to even more foods! Seafood and umm chocolate! Lucky gal! We’re celebrating with her grandparents tomorrow, so with her help I made a giant cupcake. There aren’t too many recipes “out there” for the [...]
I’m not a big fan of fruitcake…At all. Neither is my mom. So when she brought over my Grandma Cleo’s 3 different fruitcake recipes I scrunched up my nose while apologizing to my dad’s mom silently. She did the same. Then she handed me HER recipe for fruitcake. Fruitcake coming out of a kitchen of [...]
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!
