Cole Slaw with Lime Juice
I love using Napa Cabbage when I’m making this Cole Slaw with Lime Juice. The ruffled edges and pale green color of the cabbage looks so inviting. Of course, you can use regular green cabbage with no problem. This Cole Slaw with Lime Juice has no mayo. It’s crunchy with […]
Sour Cherry Persian Rice
I should really call this recipe Mock Sour Cherry Persian Rice. I definitely did not create this recipe. I did do a good bit of recipe research and melded all the ideas that worked for me into one- and then added roasted onions because my grandson loves roasted onions. Most […]
Vegan Double Chocolate Cookies
My family isn’t vegan; but every once in awhile, we have guests who are. I had torn out this recipe ages ago from somewhere. It looks like magazine paper as opposed to newspaper. The original recipe is not vegan; but it just took a few changes to make it so. […]

Matzarella en Carrozza
Matzarella en Carrozza is a Passover take of one of my favorite Italian appetizers, Mozzarella en Carrozza. I simply replace the bread with matzah that’s been soaked in egg, add mozzarella and Pesto, and sauté in olive oil. The result is an ooey gooey delicious appetizer/entrée, Matzarella en Carrozza, that […]
Pesto with Basil
Pesto with Basil is a traditional Italian sauce made with garlic, pine nuts, olive oil and Parmesan. It lends itself to numerous variations. You can replace the basil with spinach or parsley. You can use walnuts or pistachios instead of pine nuts. For my family, I often use toasted sunflower […]
Vegetables Bourguignon
Vegetables Bourguignon (a riff on Boeuf Bourguignon), is a flavorful vegan entrée all year round and perfect for Passover as well. My video shows me serving the Vegetables Bourguignon over a slice of Roasted Cauliflower. I also love to serve it over a mound of mashed potatoes ! Whichever way […]
