  • Out with the New, in with the Old

    I have not written here about desserts for a while. This is unacceptable on my part, of course, I know. However, it seems that my life is becoming busier by the day. Isn’t it strange that sitting at home, seemingly doing nothing can take so much time? Well, my nothing turned into daily learning Torah…

  • Fun Food and Israel Related Articles

    It is no surprise that Israeli chefs are on the forefront of all things new. Why should food be an exemption? There have been a number of articles lately about innovative ways Israelis think about food using words like “vegan, ecological, and locavore”. New-old plants are appearing on the restaurants’ tables straight from the biblical times. …

  • Pasta?

    Don’t know about you, but I love pasta! If I had no weight restrictions, I would probably eat pasta every day. So, when I saw this article on pairing different kinds of pasta with different sauces, I just couldn’t resist sharing it here with you, my readers.   The truth is I make pasta quite often,…

  • My Dairy Shabbat Pasta

    Staying home on Friday night (no complaint here, so tired by the end of the week, I prefer to stay home on Shabbat night until the time changes) I am always looking for a quick, easy, one dish Shabbat dinner that is still nice. On top of this, I LOVE pasta! All this gluten-free stuff…

  • Verses of Pain, Food & D’var Torah All in One Shot

    I guess we, the unfortunate souls trapped in the cement jungle of the biggest apple of the world – New York City are so used to the pollution we take for air, that once we hit the real clean air of the country, our bodies start to reject it. Right after returning from my mini…

  • Something from Nothing или каша из топора. Take Two. Easy, Fast, Healthy, Delicious.

    This post is another shout out to those of my friends that may be at a loss regarding a regular after-work dinner that should be fast, yet nutritious and delicious. Today is one of these days when I have pretty much nothing in my fridge having spent Shabbat at my mother’s. No leftovers. So after work, I decided…

  • New Year, New Life, New Cooking Adventures

    This was the first Rosh haShana ever that I have not made or eaten any meat during the holiday. I cooked myself, and I have sat at the tables of my friends, where meat was served, even my favorite lamb, but I wasn’t moved to try it. Is this a good development in my life?…

  • Verses, Vegetarianism, Variations on Life.

    Do you have days when you have more questions in your life than answers? And then other days – something that was foggy for a long time suddenly becomes clear? No matter how hard the decision is, you realize that it is the one you had to make a while ago, and no amount of…

  • Halloumi!

    On those rare occasions that I work from home and find time to make lunch for myself, I consider myself lucky. I feel double lucky today, as for the first time my husband found a kosher halloumi cheese! When I am in Israel, I make it a point to eat salads with halloumi. However, here in…

  • Matzah Brei

    Why is it that no matter how late the Holiday is coming in the year, it always hits me suddenly?  Cleaning for Pesach? I am sure many of you are half done. I am only half started.  I am totally impressed by some of the ladies out there that are so organized that they manage…
