Here we go! Purim seudah time! Last year I made a bold and insanely spicy “drunken noodles”, because…you know…Purim. 🙂 This year, I thought of a bit more simple foods to put on the menu – more of an appetizer meal. I’m a big fan of serving little salads and dips, a little scoop of … [Read more…]
I have a confession to make, I am not much of a baker. While I love to cook, I leave most of the baking to my lovely wife Ronit. Not wanting to just rip off someone else’s recipe, this left me with the daunting challenge of coming up with a recipe for hamantaschen, a traditional triangular … [Read more…]
I know this year is just flying by already, but who can believe the “P” holiday is almost here?! No, I’m not talking about Pesach – though that too is around the corner, but Purim comes first! So what better time to whip out a new hamantashen recipe! Lately I’ve been on a “lemon poppyseed” … [Read more…]

Straight from the airport we grabbed lunch at Mozart Cafe in Hollywood. The first thing I noticed was the menu was absolutely … [Read more…]
Who doesn’t love latkes, but definitely don’t serve these with apple sauce as they definitely are not your bubbie’s. After eating what feels like nothing but carbs for a few days, I wanted something a little lighter. Enter cauliflower. And yes, I know I am encroaching on Rachel’s territory, but I think I have done … [Read more…]
I’m sure you all are in agreement with me that this year has just FLOWN by and it’s crazy that Hanukkah starts tomorrow night! So of course we had to bring you some unique latkes to this blog, am I right? For mine, I didn’t use any potatoes (I know, I know…you’re all shaking your head, … [Read more…]
I have been meaning to get this post out for a while, but it was a pretty crazy summer and life got in the way. Back on June 25th, 2017, Rachel and I competed in the 2nd Annual St. Louis Kosher BBQ competition hosted by Nusach Hari B’nai Zion (NHBZ) under the banner of our kosher … [Read more…]
