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.

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

And..most people feel that their recipe is the best… and I am sure they are!

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