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.   Continue reading “Mrs.Shapiro’s Yeast Hamantaschen with Poppyseed Filling” →

Chicken Soup in the Instant Pot *updated Sept/25

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.

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.

My Most Loved Apple Cake Recipe

This recipe for my Mom’s Apple Cake is one of the most popular and viewed recipes on my site! It is a delicious cake, moist & tender studded with pieces of apple.

Perfect for the Jewish Holidays in the fall. Apples are one of the traditional foods people eat at Rosh Hashanah. Apples are dipped in honey & baked into strudels & cakes!

This cake freezes really well so it is perfect to make ahead. Wrap it up tightly in plastic wrap & I always use foil over it as well to ensure the cake stays nice and fresh. Cool completely before wrapping & freezing .

Mom’s Apple Cake isn’t just for the holidays! It is a great cake to use up some apples from trees in the yard or farmers markets! Great all year round you are really going to love this cake!
