I am feeling nostalgic today and had some ‘fresh’ cranberries that I froze in the freezer a while back. So I decided to make this light and tart dessert perfection. You won’t believe how good it is…

Chicken Shnitzel
Shnitzel is basically breaded fried chicken breast. Who doesn’t love that?! I’m sure you will agree with me when I say EVERYTHING you fry tastes amazing so right off the bat you know this is gonna be good. Shnitzel derives from Europe– when my husband and I visited Romania he ate a huge thin piece…

Fresh Salad with Shredded Brisket
When I am hosting a Shabbat dinner with more than 4 people, I almost always make a brisket in the oven. It a great meat dish, it’s so flaky and buttery that you don’t need a knife to cut it. It’s easy to make and very tasty and impressive. Brisket is usually very big (unless I cut and…

Melon Ball Chili Lime Salad
I woke up this morning at 7:00am and motivated myself to head to the gym to a Zumba step class before I get sucked into the day and start procrastinating. Before leaving our apartment, I opened all the windows to let it air out. I noticed the cold breeze fill up our apartment right away….
