Brussels Sprouts with Walnuts & Dill
These Brussels Sprouts with Walnuts and Dill are full of flavor and have a wonderful aroma. Steam them gently to retain their bright green color. The result will be tender brussels sprouts with crunch from the walnuts and wonderful herby flavor from the dill. My older grandchildren are allergic to […]
Corn Pudding
This Corn Pudding recipe was taught to me by two wonderful ladies from the South. The flavor of caramelized corn, sugar and vanilla is irresistible. If you make it with coconut oil, there is a light flavor from coconut although the vanilla covers up most of it. You can always […]
Roasted Beets
Beets are beautiful to behold, deliciously sweet to eat and full of vitamins! I like to wear gloves when handling beets so that my hands don’t turn red. If you are roasting yellow and red beets at the same time, you should wrap them separately so that the red doesn’t […]

London Broil

Orange/Lemon Crisps
Orange/Lemon Crisps are delicious light cookies that let you know when they are done by developing a toasty brown rim around the outside. Use orange zest for Orange Crisps and lemon zest for lemon crisps. I like them plain and simple; but if you prefer more sweetness, ice them with […]
Friday: Shabbat is Here!
My appointments start at 10:30 AM. By 9 AM, I remove the fat from the pot roast, slice it and pour the barbecue sauce over it. That’s a pain to do after my nails are done:) The plan is to be back in my house by no later than 1:00 PM. I might […]
Gingerbread
Gingerbread is high on the list of my “comfort” foods. I think it’s because my brother’s baby nurse, Steppy, who also took care of my daughter, used to make it and also gingerbread men. The aroma of gingerbread baking is intoxicating. It brings back all the love and hugs and […]
