Tue, 06 Nov 2001 18:13:15 -0500

Crock Pot Roasted Garlic

Mon, 08 Apr 2002 15:30:27 -0400

This is a great method for roasting garlic, so it can be ready when you start cooking in the evening. I've even done it overnight and started cooking in the morning. Roasted garlic goes great with mashed potatoes, on pasta, or simply spread on crusty bread. -- posted by Mirj

Crock Pot Caramelized Onions

Mon, 08 Apr 2002 21:39:37 -0400

I like to make a batch of this overnight to use in whatever I'm cooking the next day. The smell of the onions slowly caramelizing overnight lends to very sweet dreams! -- posted by Mirj

Sugar Free Punch

Mon, 08 Apr 2002 21:41:07 -0400

A Sugar Free Punch that a Type 1 diabetic could drink all day long without having to take extra insulin. People with diabetes will just love you for thinking of THEM! Especially any diabetic child like mine. Do you realize a Type 1 diabetic can eat only at certain times of the day and only a certain amount of carbohydrates? Hopefully my daughter will go on the insulin pump this summer so things do not have to be so rigid for her. -- posted by Charlotte J

Mon, 13 May 2002 18:16:32 -0400

My daughter Tehila has a wonderful friend, Adva, who is of Moroccan descent. Her mother makes these treats for the family on holidays, and shares them with our family. The last time we made these together, and had lots of fun doing it. Prep time includes time for the dough to rise. -- posted by Mirj

No Bake Coconut Cake

Mon, 13 May 2002 18:55:57 -0400

This is my favorite kind of summertime recipe. Cool, easy and no bake. It's also easy to adapt to a sugar free diet by substituting a sugar free cake and pudding and using skim milk instead of whole. The cook time listed is actually the time it takes to chill. -- posted by Mysterygirl

we made these as small children...my mom would attach a pair of kids scissors from a ribbon. Then give it as a gift. or place one on your own door and allow holiday visitors to cut and eat!!! we would use blue and white wrapped candy for hanukkah...you could use whatever color to suit your theme -- posted by paula&matt

Don't Throw Away That Turkey Carcass!!!!

Fri, 22 Nov 2002 20:01:17 -0500

Don't throw away the turkey bones after you've demolished your bird! Save them to make a fantastic turkey stock, which you can then use to flavor all sorts of soups and gravies. After you strain the stock you can freeze it in small Tupperware tubs, or even in ice cube trays, very handy to have in the kitchen! -- posted by Mirj

Crunchy Part of a Cadbury's Crunchie Bar

Mon, 06 Jan 2003 20:33:21 -0500

Cadbury's Crunchie Bars are one of my favorite candy bars. They are also my dentist's favorite candy bar, because if I eat enough of these I keep him in business. This is a Nigella Lawson recipe, from her book How to Be a Domestic Goddess. She calls it cinder toffee, but for me it will always be the crunchy part of the Crunchy Bar. -- posted by Mirj

Rice Krispies Kugel

Mon, 03 Feb 2003 20:12:18 -0500

This is one of my daughter Didi's favorite kugels. She's a cereal freak, loves anything made out of cereal. What's really great about this kugel is that no one will think that it's been made out of Snap, Crackle and Pop (may they rest in peace). -- posted by Mirj

Persian Tahdeeg (Rice and Potatoes)

Fri, 18 Apr 2003 20:16:06 -0400

This is my daughter Nomi's all-time favorite way to eat rice. My friend Debbie, who is married to a Persian, makes this for her every time we're over at their house for a meal. I figured I was going to have to learn to make this myself, since Nomi just adores this rice and asks for it every time. It's a little complicated, but gets easier each time you make it (says Debbie). Well worth the effort, I'm a big fan of this rice myself, and EVERYONE always fights over the crust! Prep time includes soaking. -- posted by Mirj

Flower Ice Bowls

Mon, 16 Jun 2003 20:06:24 -0400

Talk about presentation! These gorgeous frozen floral bowls (edible!) are recommended for cold soups, particularly fruit soups. But I figure anything cold would be more than enhanced by these bowls. You can make a bowl for each serving or one big serving bowl. Recipe discovered in "Cooking Fearlessly: Recipes and other Adventures from Hudson's on the Bend" -- posted by Seebee

Applesauce

Tue, 02 Sep 2003 20:00:03 -0400

My late father only knew how to cook two dishes and this was one. The type of apples you use will determine how mushy your apple sauce turns out. Cooking apples will turn into the texture of commercial applesauce while others will keep their shape even after the cooking. Either way it's delicious. The recipe can easily be doubled (or tripled...or quadrupled) to serve a crowd. -- posted by Rachel Savage

Lorraine's Luscious and Lovely Limoncello

Wed, 08 Oct 2003 20:01:07 -0400

My friend Lorraine B gave me this wonderful recipe when I was looking for an interesting hostess gift. One of the best things about this recipe is that it only takes one week to infuse, as opposed to up to a month that I've seen in other recipes. I actually made a quadruple recipe and got 6 bottles to give as gifts (I kept one for myself, of course!). At last night's preliminary tasting (2 hours after bottling) I can tell you that this is a very refreshing tipple! I'm also going to try this with oranges this winter. -- posted by Mirj

Easiest Apple Strudel

Fri, 10 Oct 2003 20:00:32 -0400

French Bread With Cheese and Honey (Baked)

Mon, 01 Aug 2005 18:27:58 -0400

Here is an easy one! It has only cheese and honey on French bread but it was called "Milk and Honey Bread" in "It Tastes Too Good To Be Kosher" by Peter Weissenstein. I wanted the name here to reflect the actual ingredients since there is no milk in the recipe! I think Mr. Weissenstein gave the recipe that name since Israel is sometimes called the land of milk and honey but that's only my guess. Hope you like it. -- posted by Oolala

Shalom Bayit Kugel (Potato Kugel)

Fri, 16 Sep 2005 15:06:37 -0400

This is called shalom bayit (peace in the home) kugel, because that is precisely the effect it has on mine when I make it on Friday afternoon. This is a recipe for either 2 large kugels (9"x13" and deep) or 4 small kugels (@8-9" square). It is best straight out of the oven, but can be saved for lunch the next day. To further its shalom bayit potential, I usually make it into four small kugels: one to feed my underfed, stressed out family on Friday afternoon (we always seem to forget real meals while we are preparing for Shabbat), another one for Friday night, another for Shabbat day, and, equally important, the fourth to give to some other family which is either running late, stressed out, just had a baby, or needs a pick-me-up. Never fails to work wonders. The key to this kugel is baking it first at a high temperature for a short time, and then at a lower temp. Wishing your family a peaceful day. -- posted by Sarah Chana

Honey Baked Gefilte Fish

Wed, 21 Sep 2005 13:29:03 -0400

Born of necessity (no time, lots of guests...help!!), this quickly became a family favorite. It is almost silky in texture, and holds up well. Dress it up with horseradish or horseradish and mayo, or an assortment of salads... the possibilities are endless. An excellent make-ahead for a busy holiday week -- posted by Sarah Chana

Sweet and Sour Brisket (Sauerkraut is the Secret)

Tue, 04 Oct 2005 21:00:53 -0400

Phyllis' Orange Chicken

Fri, 11 Nov 2005 16:25:12 -0500

I found this on the website aish.com which posts among other things kosher recipes, although I don't think you need to be Jewish or eat kosher to enjoy this recipe. I made this a few weeks ago for Sukkot, the Jewish thanksgiving, and is described on the other website as a one step meal, although from my experience with the recipe the sweet potato will cook better if cut up into large chunks. I also used fresh orange juice instead of the frozen one listed below. -- posted by Studentchef

Mirj's Boozy Maple Chicken

Sun, 13 Nov 2005 21:57:35 -0500

Necessity is the mother of invention. I have a collection of blended whisky in the house that my husband refuses to drink, single malt snob that he is. He claimed the stuff was only good for paint thinner or rust remover. Not so. With a little help from Toolie who sent me some maple syrup from Canada, I invented a chicken dish that made everyone happy all around. -- posted by Mirj

Pots De Creme (Non-Dairy)

Wed, 16 Nov 2005 15:13:30 -0500

My Friend Malka's Magnificent Roasted Veggies

Fri, 17 Feb 2006 09:58:37 -0500

I just had the great pleasure of imposing upon my wonderful friend Malka for a visit in Jerusalem. One night she served us these fragrant, delicious roasted vegetables, and we all but licked the bowl clean. Were they only delicious it would be nice, but they are also almost effortless to make. So, I share them here in the hope that any of us can make them, even without Malka's special dose of love for guests. I recommend using a variety of veggies and colors-- it will be lovely. -- posted by Sarah Chana

Embarrassingly Simple, Utterly Delicious Chicken With Onions

Sat, 07 Oct 2006 18:01:09 -0400

This one is so easy, I'm embarrassed to enter it here. This recipe has gotten me thru impossible seasons with just too many guests, not enough help, and NOT enough time. It is truly delicious, and somehow, men, in particular, cannot get enough of it. I got this recipe from a friend, who got it from a friend, and so on. Please pass it along to another harried person. BTW, it is pretty versatile. If you don't have sweet wine, try some not so sweet wine and toss in something sweet (honey? sugar?) (not too much) to give it that nice flavor. You can use red or white wine. Whatever is laying around the house. -- posted by Sarah Chana

Tarte Tatin -- Easy Version

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 16:51:00 -0400

Classic French apple tart. I make this every fall during apple season, usually end up with the recipe memorized as I'm churning out my 14th, or 15th, tarte by the end of the year. Use tart Granny Smiths for best results. Use store-bought puff pastry to make it super easy! I found this method by trial and error to bypass making caramel first. (At the suggestion of my friends 2Bleu, a note about traditional tarte tatin: The traditional tarte tatin starts by making caramel in a cast-iron skillet first, then cooks the apples in the caramel on the stovetop, then has you make a crust like a pie crust, which gets placed on top of the apples, then the whole thing is moved into the oven. It's delicious, but a tedious method. So I played around in the kitchen until I discovered this method by a wonderful accident! Don't you love when that happens? ;-) ) -- posted by Susiecat too

Golden Apricot Marinated Chicken

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 22:37:08 -0400

Iraqi Apple Preserve

Tue, 25 Sep 2007 22:05:53 -0400

This is a lovely use for apples! From "The Book of Jewish Food" by Claudia Roden. She suggests serving this with yogurt to balance the sweetness. The rosewater flavor is strong here, so if you are shy about rosewater consider cutting the amount in half. This would be lovely as a filling in a white cake, layered with vanilla pastry cream in between the cake layers. -- posted by Susiecat too

Citron (Etrog) Pomander

Tue, 09 Oct 2007 15:11:45 -0400

The etrog (citron) is a citrus fruit that is used by Jews every year during the holiday of Sukkot (late September, early October, depending on the lunar calendar). It's entire purpose during the week-long holiday is to smell nice. Yes, that's it, we just smell the thing. After the holiday is over you can chop up the etrog and make jam. What I like to do is to stud it with cloves and then use it as the most aromatic besamim for the havdalah service signifying the end of the Sabbath. Aside from the etrog and the cloves, you will need a thin crochet hook to pierce the fruit before sticking in the clove. I use a 0.75 hook, but a 1.00 will work just as well. These babies last for years, and if you already have one or two (or ten or eleven, as is the case in my house), they make lovely gifts. BTW, you can also use a lemon or an orange, the results are the same, just shaped differently. -- posted by Mirj

Pomegranate Salad

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 15:21:22 -0400

This super simple gluten free Rosh Hashanah salad is best made just before serving so that it is as fresh as possible.

We will miss old friends, look forward to being in touch with them and embrace new ones. -- posted by Elana's Pantry
