Vegetarian Kishke

When I was a kid, I loved kishke. Then one day I made the mistake of asking my mom what it was. HA.. For those of you who don’t know, kishke is a stuffed section of cow intestines, I thought it was kind of chewy!

Challah ( makes 4 small round loaves or 3 twisted loaves) Updated Sept/18

I’m sure there as many recipes for Challah as there are stars in the sky..well, maybe not quite but really, there are a lot of recipes. And..most people feel that their recipe is the best… and I am sure they are! This recipe is the one I use to make round Challah for Rosh Hashanah… I don’t use this recipe during the year since it makes 4 round loaves or 3 twisted ones. I don’t need that many every week.

Side Dishes for Passover

These are 6 side dishes especially for Passover which means they are made with ingredients specific to Passover. Matzo Meal is used instead of bread crumbs etc. They are good so if you do not follow the laws of Passover or do not celebrate Passover you might still want to make these dishes away!! Just look for the needed ingredients in your grocery stores. Many stores carry Passover foods!

Edith’s Passover Apple Cake

I posted this recipe in 2018 for the first time. Moist & tender, this apple cake is very good. A perfect dessert for any day during the week of Passover

My sister Edith makes this cake every year & I got the recipe from her. I do not know where she got it from, a friend maybe so I can not give credit to the author of the recipe.

Chicken Soup in the Instant Pot

Well, I decided to make a chicken soup in the Instant Pot. Usually I cook my soup for hours & hours on the stove & then some more! Lots of skimming & skimming…this is how my grandmother made her chicken soup & my mom & my sisters… but I have found a new way for me!!!! This soup was so delicious…full of flavour…Unless I am going to make a lot of chicken soup for a crowd, I am going to make my chicken soup in the Instant Pot from now on!! The final amount of soup that I got is exactly the amount of water I put in… no evaporation in the Instant Pot.

Mrs.Shapiro’s Yeast Hamantaschen with Poppyseed Filling

My friend, Anna Shapiro z’l. sadly passed away a few months ago. She was an inspiration to me in many ways. In the kitchen she was a Maven, which means she was an expert. She was an expert in the kitchen & in life. Anna taught me so much about many things. I miss her & loved watching the videos attached in this post. She was generous with her time & knowledge & love. Always happy to be videoed & then featured on this blog. There are a few videos of her on my YouTube channel if you are interested in seeing her make some delicious dishes.

Sweet Noodle Kugel with Apples & Raisins

First posted in September of 2017….

This Sweet Noodle Kugel with Apples & Raisins ( you can omit the raisins if you don’t like them!) is a family recipe of my friend Pnina. I am so honoured that she shared this recipe with me. Perfect for this time of year when there is an abundance of apples….but don’t limit yourself to just eating it now…it is perfect for anytime!
