For years, I’ve heard people talk about eating a Stringbean Casserole. I have to admit that before I made one, I had never eaten it. Tuna casserole, yes- stringbean casserole, no. Enter Rebecca Grafstein and KosherKart and suddenly, I had frozen cut stringbeans, Imagine Portobello Mushroom Soup and French’s fried […]

Herbed Roast Turkey with Maple Glaze
Herbs under and over the skin of your turkey impart the most delicious flavor and amazing aroma. Add maple syrup to the turkey’s natural fat for basting puts it in a whole other category. The skin gets crisp and very brown from the caramelizing of the maple syrup. It is […]
Easy Pumpkin Pie- Freezer Friendly
When I grew up, we ate lots of food from cans. Maybe that’s why I’ve always had a thing about not using canned puréed pumpkin to make pie. As you can see from my other Pumpkin Pie recipes: https://kosherbygloria.com/pumpkin-pie-2/ and https://kosherbygloria.com/pumpkin-chiffon-pie/, my daughter’s personal favorite, I always roast and purée […]

Every year my daughter and son in law take my grandchildren pumpkin picking. This year, the children picked out the largest pumpkin they could find and presented it to me!. After admiring it for a few days, I removed the seeds, cut it up in manageable pieces and roasted it. […]

Cornbread Stuffing
I was taught how to make Cornbread Stuffing by a lady from the South. She encouraged me to cut the vegetables larger than I was used to in order to give the stuffing a more rustic look and flavor. Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same without it. Make the Cornbread at […]
