Every Thanksgiving my family has at least 5 different variations of sweet potatoes on the dinner table, including maple sweet potatoes which are so yummy. I wanted to try something a little different and made Maple Acorn Squash instead! Acorn squash has a yellow-orange flesh and has a light taste of hazelnut and pepper. They are rich…

Double Baked Sweet Potatoes
This is a new recipe that I wanted to try out from a ripped magazine page I tore out a while ago. I always eat sweet potatoes in a sweet way with butter and maple syrup or brown sugar. The only time I eat them in a savory way is when I’m eating sweet potato fries-yummy!…
Chinese Salad
I have been making this salad for years and it is so simple to make! It is like any asian salad that you order in a restaurant but ten times better! You can shred your own cabbage and carrots if you prefer but I just buy a bag of coleslaw which is obviously much quicker. This salad…
Roasted Chicken Thighs with Thai Coconut Sauce
It was raining non-stop all weekend and all i wanted to do (and actually did) was veg out on the couch all day in my pj’s and a blanket, watching reality show reruns and the food channel.

My family came over for Shabbat dinner this past week and I decided to play around with the side dishes. I try to change things up every so often and not always cook the same traditional foods. One of the new sides I decided to make was this fall inspired sweet potato dish that was just…
4 Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Cake
This might just be the easiest, most delicious chocolate cake I have ever made. This cake is flourless which makes it gluten-free (hello delish Passover dessert!) and only takes four ingredients!! You can also make this cake parve/non-dairy! What can be easier than this? This cake is extremely light so you can eat 3 slices (just kidding!!…not). Seriously……
Cold Sesame Noodles
This is such an easy and delicious lunch or dinner. The sauce is mostly composed of pantry ingredients and takes no more than 10 minutes to put together. The noodles are supposed to be cold which means you can not only whip this up quickly but you can make this dish ahead of time and put…
Cucumber Mint Yogurt Salad
What do I choose to eat after the holidays? Something light and quick to make, with no cooking involved! And I’m sure you can agree with me. During Rosh Hashanah we ate so many delicious meals that I am scared to go on the scale at this point. So this salad is exactly what I…
