We like our hummus. It’s our years spent in Israel, I suppose, but we consider ourselves rather to be connosieurs. Of course, I’m also busy (and lazy) and usually our “fine taste in hummus” ends up being Sabra from Costco. Not that there’s anything wrong with Sabra! In fact, I like it very much! But… [...]

Canned beans are a major convenience item in my house. But since I’m participating in the SNAP4aWeek Challenge, I’m reminding myself that it’s really not that inconvenient to buy dried beans and chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans) and cook them myself.

I’m getting excited about putting together our menu, especially since we’ll be celebrating DD’s 3rd birthday as well! While cake and ice cream is on the menu for [...]

Oh, recipe exchange fans… it has been a looooong time. I was transitioning to a once monthly recipe-posting schedule, but then Pesach hit, and I sort of lost my mind. You’ll be relieved to know that I found it. A few days ago. Along with the chametz muffin tins I had stashed at the last [...]

Passover forces me to get creative in the kitchen. There is only so much matzah pizza my tummy can tolerate. Last night, I took inspiration from this Cooking with Amy recipe for Sweet Potato Gnocchi, but I tweaked things a bit for my family’s preferences – and then tripled it for my family’s appetites!
