I am not usually the one to talk about American history. This 4th of July, however, I wanted to go for a short restful trip, and accidentally, saw that Valley Forge Park is less than two hours away from New York City. So, to the Valley Forge, we went with the dog and all. Thankfully,…

Peaches are in Season
I love to make Shabbat meals in summer! You have so many fresh fruit and vegetables to choose from. And – they actually have a real taste! So for this Shabbat dessert, I decided to experiment with fresh peaches. They are so nice now. I was looking for an idea on the web, and, like lots…
Improvise!
It looks like summer is, finally, here. And with it the abundance of fruit and vegetables that really have a taste, as opposed to those that we have in winter – beautiful, but tasteless. That, of course, means that it’s time for salad. In my house, a housewife (me) never knows what she is going…
This is not the Shavuot I love
Shavuot is my favorite Holiday for many reasons. I believe that this is a special Holiday as it clearly marks the Jewish nation as the one designated to live in a specific way – to be a “light to the nations” (Isaiah 42:1). This is no small task, the responsibility both brings you up and…

I am sure you might find different spellings of the word, but consider this – Hebrew, like Arabic, has no…
Happy New(?) Year!
It’s been a really long time. Lots of cooking, lots of thinking. Here we are, on the eve of the new calendar year, and my family dilemmas are looking at me again. As an orthodox Jewish woman, I know all about it – the Romans, the pagans all over, the Silvester, the strive of Xtianity…
How It All Started
It feels like a very long while ago, my younger daughter moved all the way across the country to Portland, OR for college. Boy, did I miss her! I started a food blog as a way to virtually communicate with my now grown-up girls. Food is something that we all enjoy, and my kosher adventures seem…
