    A few months ago, I added a little feature to our sidebar here that pulls in interesting food related articles we are reading. It includes a mix of great posts from our blog roll, and also interesting food posts from non-food blogs. If you want to see the kinds of posts that are influencing me […]

  • A Simple Turkey, a retrospective

    A Simple Turkey, a retrospective

    If you’ve never bought a turkey before, it can be overwhelming to try to understand all the differences between them. There are plenty of guides, but there are so many of those too, it’s hard to know what will be best. In my family we have always chosen frozen kosher turkeys, but even if you […]

  • Getting into the Thanksgiving mood

    Getting into the Thanksgiving mood

    Last year I thought of all kinds of things to say to all of you about my favorite holiday, but I thought of it all too late. I mean, really, who needs Thanksgiving tips a week after you’ve passed out from feasting? This year, I’m going to get my Thanksgiving started early. I have so […]

  • Mashed Potatoes and Hearty Greens

    Mashed Potatoes and Hearty Greens

    Potatoes and hearty greens are a huge staple of our diet when it starts to get cold outside. The days get shorter, and we get lazier. When you want something that will stick to your ribs, keep you warm, but also deliver a daily dose of greens, this is a stupidly-fast and easy dish to […]

  • Zucchini and Carrot Frittata, Syrian style

    Zucchini and Carrot Frittata, Syrian style

    The Kosher Foodies just wrote about Spanach Jibben which we used to call Spinach brownies or cupcakes when I was a child. This spinach, egg, and cheese dish was a great way to make sure us kids had something green without too much fussing or complaining. Tacking “jibben” after a vegetable pretty much means you […]

    Shakshuka: Eggs poached in tomato sauce

    When you’re down to the dregs of your pantry, and your refrigerator is about to be bare, what do you make for dinner? Well, if you’re me, and you’ve put off shopping for some weeks (out of business and a bit of laziness), you take the last two eggs you’ve got and crack them into […]

  • Making the most out of what you’ve got

    Making the most out of what you’ve got

    Because it’s been so beautiful out, we’ve changed some of our usual eating and cooking habits for the summer. We’ve been eating out a bit more and have been sharing more meals with friends. To counteract the cost of eating out more often, we’ve slowed down our grocery shopping routine (Incidentally that is not very […]

  • My new favorite herb: Anise leaves

    My new favorite herb: Anise leaves

    We’ve been stopping by a community garden in our neighborhood doing a bit of weeding and pruning this summer. When we went a few weeks ago, we saw these tall bushes of what looked like dill and smelled like licorice. I tasted a bit and it tasted overwhelmingly like dill, so I thought that was […]

  • Cool as a Cucumber Sandwich

    Cool as a Cucumber Sandwich

    This summer, strapped for time and staving off heat stroke, I can’t stop craving cucumber sandwiches. The simple sandwich highlights the natural coolness of a cucumber and don’t require me to turn on an oven (if you didn’t know, New York has been in the middle of a record breaking heat wave). Cucumber sandwiches take […]

  • Get outside!

    Get outside!

    I could run off a huge list of excuses about the lack of posts lately, but I find those kinds of posts tiresome and I bet you do too. The most interesting reason that I’ve been a bit absent here is that it’s just been too gorgeous out to hang out in a hot kitchen. […]
