I have been on a quest to simplify as many things in my life as possible. I don’t want unnecessary stuff that collects dust, nor do I need to make or eat complicated recipes when I will be perfectly happy with simple foods. Just because I can make something challenging and over-the-top, doesn’t mean I want to.Continue reading

Someone asked me on Instagram live last night what I like to make for Passover, and I responded that I don’t have any special dishes that I always make, but I like to keep things modern and seasonal. I didn’t grow up Jewish and I personally don’t love traditional Jewish holiday food like potato kugel and matzo ball soup, although I know many people are big fans. Starches on Passover due tend to be more limiting since you can’t use most grains. But there are a plethora of delicious and versatile root veggies, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes and approved grains like quinoa.Continue reading
Both Easter and Passover are quickly approaching and although I don’t normally host either holiday, I always make at least the desserts for the Passover seder and a nice Easter brunch for my family. This year I am thrilled to be spending Easter with my family on the East coast, so I am already in planning mode with my mom for our Easter lunch!Continue reading
Primavera means spring in Italian and I see it right around the corner! This farro primavera is a tweak of a One Pot Farro with Cauliflower and One Pot Barley with Melted Cabbage in Kitchen Matters. Those recipes were inspired by Martha Stewart’s One Pot Pasta recipe, which I honestly do not care for (too starchy.)Continue reading
You have the appetite for one last soup, don’t you? Last I checked, it was still chilly and damp in many places. And even where I live in Southern California, it is very cool in the evenings. We love soup all year. My husband and I especially love soup as our entire dinner. This particular soup is light, but filling, and has plenty of protein and fiber to qualify as a meal!Continue reading
Oh, I have been waiting with such excitement to post this Sweet Potato Brownie recipe. After I taught it in my classes, my students were making it like crazy, posting it, and everyone was messaging me for the recipe. The wait is over and just in time for Valentine’s Day. Never say I don’t love you. 😉Continue reading
