The inspiration for this chicken recipe came from my Mother in Law-maybe 45 years ago. My husband always called it Currant Jelly chicken. I made it with currant jelly for many years until the jelly itself became hard to find. Fast forward, I now make it with blackberry preserves. I […]
Several years ago, quinoa started popping up on Passover tables. It is now a staple. There is kosher for Passover quinoa, quinoa flakes, quinoa flour…I’ve seen this amazing supergrain used as a replacement for rice in sushi and as a satisying side dish to meat and fish. Quinoa, itself has […]
