De La Rosa 613 sent me a gift of their Avocado Oil and Balsamic Glaze. My mission was to come up with a recipe using them. FYI- Avocado Oil is very healthy and has a very high smoke point; which makes it very easy to fry with. The Balsamic Glaze […]

Schmaltz and Gribenes
My first memory of Schmaltz and Gribenes is of Annie Mae stirring the fat and skin on top of the stove and then pouring it into a jar to keep for my Great Uncle Bob. He came for dinner every Friday night and exclaimed: “Gloria, bring me some Schmaltz.” I […]
Grandma Jeannie and Annie Mae’s Tzimmis
Grandma Jeannie and Annie Mae’s Tzimmis is the name of this recipe. I refer to it this way because my Grandma Jeannie taught Annie Mae, who cared for our family for 60 years, how to prepare it. I find it fascinating that a recipe that originated in Hataivich was handed […]

Chicken with Capers and Almonds
This chicken recipe is built on layers of flavor from many different elements. Your first bite tells you that this is a soft chicken recipe. As the pieces of chicken are simmering, they absorb the sweetness of carrots and orange juice along with the tang of wine and vinegar. Then, […]
Chicken, Pineapple and Snow Pea Kebobs
This recipe for Chicken, Pineapple and Snow Pea Kebobs was born out out of my frustration over not having an outdoor barbecue. For years, I’ve watched my friends grill outside. My husband and I are sort of “vetted and bonded” professional guests. We don’t have a summer house. Many of […]
