Pancakes

What is better on a Sunday fall lazy morning than an easy pancakes recipe that you can whip up in no time. There might be all different kind of pancake recipes out there but this one is by far my go to for pancakes. The pancakes come out fluffy, soft, and have a slight sweetness…

Roasted Sweet Potato with Greens

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…

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…

Leek Omelet

I talked the importance of leeks during Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, in yesterday’s post for stuffed leeks. Well, this is another great way to make leeks relish for the seder and it doesn’t only have to be during Rosh Hashanah! It a great dish for brunch, breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Leek Omelet Serves: 6-8  …

Dill and Red Pepper Egg Salad

I love quick and easy recipes that can please a crowd. The hardest thing about this recipe is trying to peel the hard boiled eggs perfectly. This can be eaten plain, in a sandwich, as an appetizer, or even as a salad at a party! Dill and Red Pepper Egg Salad (Enough to make two…

Challah Cranberry Bread Pudding with Orange Custard Sauce

Sunday is my favorite day of the week. It’s the one day a week where I can just take it easy and be lazy if I want to. One of the best things about Sundays is Sunday brunch. Hosting Sunday brunch with great friends is so fun but who wants to wake up early to…

Cheese Borekas

Borekas, a crunchy Israeli classic. The perfect breakfast, snack, and appetizer. They are often filled with ground beef, mashed potatoes, mushrooms, cheese, or spinach. Today I made my three cheese borekas that my family and friends love–every time I make them, they don’t last long! They are also a great ‘make ahead of time’ food which you…

Fresh Tomato and Garlic Bruschetta

Let me be real with all of you. My house is a crazy mess today! My husband and I live in a small 2 bedroom apartment with a little “office” which is right now our storage room for all the gifts we received from our wedding last year. I don’t want to open it all…

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….

Watermelon Salad and Santorini

My husband and I recently visited gorgeous Santorini, Greece (enjoy pics below). We were there for three days and it has to be one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. We loved the culture, the people, and obviously the FOOD! There were so many refreshing salads that we couldn’t get enough of. We…
