Shavout, the Jewish holiday that celebrates the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai, is coming up this weekend. I have spent the week going over different versions of my holiday menus, and I think I finally have it settled. (If you want to know what I am making let me know it the comments) […]
If you are looking for the ultimate decadent indulgence this is it. This is what would happen if a s’more and a peanut butter cup got together and had a baby. It is even more amazing than it sounds. The slight saltiness of the peanut butter is the perfect foil for the sweet gooey oozing […]
A few years ago a recipe for oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies took the internet by storm. I have to admit I was intrigued but I never got around to making them. It seemed like a lot of effort and the finished cookies were so huge I never really found the right occasion to make […]
It has been busy around here this week with all of the Passover cooking. We have hosted over 100 people so far for meals and we still have a few more days of the holiday left to go. In order to try to make things a bit easier I didn’t make any of the big […]

I am going to be participating in a food blogging event on Thursday bringing people together in support of those affected by the storm, so please check back then […]
Although it is fun and exciting to eat Chanukkah gelt the first few days of the holiday, every year I find that by the end of the eight days there are leftover gelt sitting around that no one really wants to eat. Even the three year old seems tired of them. The chocolate gets nibbled […]
The excited “look they have Reese’s” exclamations last week of both trick-or-treaters and their parents reminded me just how popular the combination of peanut butter and chocolate really are among people of all ages.
