When I buy apples for Applesauce, I choose the largest ones with the reddest skins. Often, I use a combination of Cortland and Macintosh apples. I love pink Applesauce; so I mock “steam” the apples in their skins. I avoid putting them in a steamer basket and officially steaming them […]
Nothing soaks up gravy like a crispy on the outside, creamy in the middle Potato Kugel. If you prefer Gluten-Free and /or you want to make this Potato Kugel for Passover: replace the cornstarch with potato starch and the corn oil with oil that is kosher for Passover. This recipe […]

Tofu layered with Spinach Stuffing has the same color way and flavor (minus the meat) as a Breast of Turkey or Veal Stuffed with Spinach. Make my vegetarian mixed mushroom gravy that can be used on both the vegetarian’s and carnivore’s dinner.
