Earlier this summer we took our kids to Israel for the first time. We all had a great time and it was wonderful to experience Israel through the eyes of our children. Part of what we were the most excited about in planning the trip was the opportunity to introduce our kids to some of […]

I think I have made more popsicles this summer than the rest of my life combined. In my mind popsicles are the epitome of summer fun, and my boys are absolutely crazy about them. The little one, who is just starting to talk, will ask for popsicles by holding up his hand and pretending to […]

There is something about ice cream sandwiches that always makes me smile. While ice cream served in a dish with cookies on the side is delicious, there is something about spreading those same cookies with the ice cream and turning them into a sandwich that makes it so much more fun.

It has been a crazy couple of weeks around here. I literally have barely had time to check my email, let alone get a blog post together. I am hoping things will calm down and I will be able to get back into a normal rhythm next week, but in the meantime I wanted to […]

One of the fun things about making homemade jams and preserves (besides hearing the satisfying pop of the lids as they seal) is that you can make all kinds of flavors that aren’t available in the stores. While I might occasionally make a straight fruit jam or marmalade if I am overloaded with a particular […]

As I have mentioned before, my parents’ abundantly productive kumquat tree meant that throughout my childhood we periodically had significant numbers of kumquats to use in all kinds of creative ways. My parents have a cookbook called “What to Do With a Kumquat” and we certainly utilized it well. The one thing that we always […]

There is something about s’mores that just makes me smile. Perhaps it is the fact that it is almost impossible to eat a s’more without geting messy, or the fact that eating s’mores reminds me of wonderful times sitting around a campfire. Or perhaps it is just the fact that they are utterly delicious. Regular […]
