Wood Block Wall Art

So a lot has happened since I've last shown my presence here.  But the one we'll talk about tonight is home remodeling.  A couple of months ago, Rikki and Ella were just not getting along in their shared room.  On top of that, Shlomo refused to go to sleep and we had a battle every …

Meatloaf Pinwheel

I've been a bad blogger this week, but the good news is that I've been a really good Mommy!  I'm in love with my new venture and I'm eager to make up a ton of new recipes and post recipes I've tried from other sources... but I'm trying really hard to keep my priorities in …

Tomato Garlic Salad

Happy Thursday! I'm so excited for the weekend, that I'm preparing early. Mentally that is. For me, the weekend is usually something that creeps up unexpectedly and all I can wonder is "where did the week go?" This week I'm actually excited. Why you ask? Well, Sunday marks 34 complete weeks of this seemingly never …

Mushroom Chicken

You know the kind of dinners that you  feel like you're throwing together whatever you have in your fridge, only to realize later that you just created one of the best recipes of all time?!  That's how I created this chicken, and it's been with us for years.  One reason it works so well for …

Strawberry Kiwi Dessert Smoothie

Wow!  The weather's been getting really nice here in New York!  It's about time.  It's still a bit chilly some mornings, but by the time mid-afternoon rolls around it's been pretty hot.  Today is one of those days.  I feel like it's scorching outside!  It must be the pregnancy because my family doesn't think it's …

Tuna Patties

My kids won't go anywhere near fish with a 10-foot pole.  Which is surprising because the Mr. eats fish at least once a week.  I don't eat it as much, but I do eat fish from time to time. They won't even touch tuna fish.  Which is even more surprising, because they love these tuna …

Deli Pickle Roll Ups

I came across this post on Pinterest and thought it was so cute, I just had to share with you guys.  I thought it was turkey and pastrami, but when I found the original blog post I learned that it was actually cheese and ham; and obviously not kosher.  I decided to stick with my …

Chicken Lo Mein

My husband cooks for a wonderful catering company here in New York.  The funny part is that he calls me straight from the kitchen for recipes and cooking tips.  I'm the one with the info, and here I am sitting at home while he works.  Ironic, huh?!  He loves cooking too and he's really great …

Franks n’ Blankets

Did you ever wonder who actually sits and covers all those mini franks in blankets that you find in the freezer aisle? I do.  Well, I used to. Until I saw these at my aunt's house.  Now I don't really care about those mini versions because these are way better.  Why haven't I thought of this …

Oven Baked Farfel

I've been trying to think of a way to describe farfel in the English language.  The only results Google managed to give me was matzah farfel; which this is most definitely not. Farfel is kind of like a pasta.  Or couscous.  Maybe a cross between both. Whatever it is, it's delicious.  And it's even more …
