KOAB Recipe Exchange: Summer Veggies (Potato Kale Gratin)

potato kale gratin

Oh happy day – my CSA started up again this week! The first few weeks of the season are usually quite leafy green-heavy. This is, of course, very healthy, but after the third week of kale and spinach, it starts to present a bit of a culinary challenge. Last year, while Googling (actually, I was [...]

PHOTO CREDIT: Flickr Creative Commons If you’re on Facebook or Twitter with me, you know that I’ve been in the kitchen today cooking for Pesach – and I’ve definitely got a lot of company out there in internetland.

Passover Recipes: Vegetable Kugel, Matzah Lasagna, Oven-Baked Matzah Brie

Kugel with zucchini, sweet potato, red potato, onion and squash

We are in the Leil HaSeder home stretch, so I thought we could use one last Pesach recipe post. I’m breaking with tradition and posting this on Thursday, since I figure most of us need all the time we can get (maybe I’m just projecting, though?!). Anyway, today I’m sharing not one, but THREE, recipes [...]

KOAB Recipe Exchange: Mexican Food (Creamy Black Bean Burrito)

A few weeks ago, a number of you suggested on Facebook that you would like to see an ethnic themed Recipe Exchange. I don’t know if the Mexican-ish food that I cook qualifies as “ethnic”, but since this is my blog, I’m gonna do it anyway. For a very simple meal, which my husband and [...]

I got some great ideas from all of you on Facebook last night for Recipe Exchange themes. Thank you, thank you! Rest assured, I will get to all of them. But today I am starting with salads – specifically, I’m thinking about the Shabbat salad course. But really, any yummy salad recipe you’ve got is [...]

On my last crockpot themed recipe exchange, you guys shared a lot of great ideas and recipes – thank you all! Today, I wanted to send out a call for pareve or dairy recipes (no meat or chicken) that work in the crockpot. On the KOAB Facebook page, there was some discussion after I posted [...]

KOAB Recipe Exchange: CHOCOLATE!

Chocolate is like a food group unto itself — at least at our house! So, I definitely think it deserves its own recipe exchange. Get yourself some high cocoa-concentration dark chocolate and you’re totally justified in calling it health food! Of course, my kids like milk chocolate, which isn’t quite as healthful, but hey… everyone [...]
