Are you not a lover of making pie dough and rolling it out? Graham Cracker Crust is the answer for you. Not only is it delicious; but it is very easy to assemble. Bake it blind (unfilled) if you are filling it with an uncooked filling ie. a fruit curd […]

Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie
Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie can be made with fresh or frozen rhubarb and but the strawberries should be fresh. They are a terrific combination. The addition of orange zest really boosts the flavors of both fruits. Choose between my All-Purpose Pie Dough or Sugar Crust for a double crust. Personally, I enjoy […]
Ambrosia
The combination of oranges, strawberries and fresh coconut is called Ambrosia. This word refers to the “nectar of the Gods” in Greek mythology. It is aptly named, although Ambrosia has its origins in the South! The natural juices from the fruits combined with the mellow flavor of fresh coconut is […]
Quinoa Crust
Making a Quinoa Crust is a natural progression from the relatively recent variety of foods benefiting from this supergrain. Ever since quinoa made its appearance on the Passover table, it has turned the Passover food options on its head. Quinoa replaces rice in Passover sushi and flour in cakes. It […]
Pumpkintaschen Filling
I opened my freezer and discovered I still had a bag of frozen fresh pumpkin purée! Purim was approaching and my daughter loves Pumpkin Pie; so I thought why not make a pumpkin filling for some of this year’s Hamantaschen. I decided on a Sugar Crust; and then went about […]
Chocolate Chip Brownies
Nothing like a fudgey Chocolate Chip Brownie to satisfy a chocoholic! Timing is important to achieve that texture. You can use the tried and true method of inserting a cake tester in the brownies – but for these Chocolate Chip Brownies, it shouldn’t come out clean. There should not just […]
Oatmeal-Currant Cookies
Oatmeal-Currant Cookies take the iconic Oatmeal Cookie to a new level. Generally, Oatmeal cookies are made with raisins. I really don’t enjoy raisins in baked goods. Consequently, years ago, I started using currants as a substitute for raisins. I like just that firm, tiny, tangy bite as you chew the […]
Caramel Sauce and Filling
I’ve teamed again with Jessica of Jessica’s Natural Foods and this time I’ve turned her organic Vanilla Syrup into caramel! When just made and loose, you have a non-dairy caramel sauce that you can pour over- well anything- and then dose it with a splash of sea salt. YUM! After […]
Brown Rice with Zucchini and Onions
Brown Rice with Zucchini and Onions goes under the heading of comfort food. My adult son had about two cups of it for lunch and asked for more. He was out of luck! The family had gotten there before him and eaten most of it. Zucchini and onions add richness […]
Apple and Pomegranate Crêpes
Have your All-Purpose Crepes ready and the rest is a snap. I make Apple and Pomegranate Crêpes with sliced apples mixed with pomegranate seeds. You sauté everything with a fresh Vanilla bean and douse it with Apple Liqueur! You could eat this with a spoon or over ice cream; but […]
