For me, the words “comfort food” always evoke images of mac and cheese. Any kind of mac and cheese will do, even the boxed kind will work in a pinch (I’m not a snob). There’s just something about warm pasta smothered in silky, creamy, melty […]

Easy Healthy Homemade Granola
Whenever I go out for breakfast, inevitably, I always find myself scanning the menu for a yogurt and granola bowl. I always glance at the pancakes, the egg creations and various versions of tempting sounding French toast but as soon as my eyes land on […]
Almond-Lemon Cake With Glazed Strawberries
We’re one day into the Passover holiday and, if you’re like my family, you’re already tired of Matzo everything. Especially, I’m tired of Matzo cake recipes. Layered with cream in between, soaked in all kinds of liquor and crumbled up in parfaits. Yes, there are […]
Personal Chef Chicken Salad
I always thought that, if I had a personal chef named Wolfgang Puck (a girl can dream), I would ask for his Chinois chicken salad every day for lunch. After all, this was the salad that introduced us to what we now erroneously refer to […]
Mini Chocolate Basque Cheesecake
Cheesecake is a family tradition around here. Especially at Thanksgiving when my daughters (from the time that they were little) and I would always bake some sort of cheesecake to add to our dessert table. Needless to say, I have made many varieties of this […]
Manischewitz Truffle Flight
Anyone who has/had a Jewish grandmother (aka Bubby) knows how much they adore Manischewitz. Mine used to love it so much that she actually carried a bottle of it in her purse to various restaurants just because, as you can imagine, this was not a […]
Dulce De Leche Macchiato Martini
Venti caramel macchiato, skim milk, extra hot, no foam, with whip. That’s my husband’s drink of choice (eye roll). Mine on the other hand is a nice cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc. See the problem? I have to admit that I do enjoy an occasional […]
Smoked Salmon Napoleon
I love napoleon. No, not the general/emperor of France. Although I do have a thing for short, dark, handsome, regal looking French men (don’t judge!). The napoleon that I’m referring to is the sweet gorgeous creation of thin layers of dough intertwined with dreamy, creamy […]
Cuban Roasted Pork (Lechon Asado)
At this point it seems as though most cooks have a recipe that became their favorite dish to make during the pandemic. I am no exception. Exactly three years ago this week, my husband abandoned his office and began working from his new home office […]
Leprechaun Approved Guinness Bread With Orange-Honey Butter
This one is going to be short and sweet (unlike a leprechaun) because, I’m ashamed to admit it, my knowledge of the history of St. Patrick’s Day is rather limited. Blame it on my Ukrainian roots and upbringing, or my general ignorance about Irish history […]
