Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

October 24, 2008

With all of the holidays I have been doing quite a bit of baking. With the colder weather I have been craving warm spiced fall flavors. With family in town it and a long day of dancing in store for us on Simchat Torah I decided to make a special treat breakfast of pumpkin cream […]

World Peace Cookies

October 16, 2008

World Peace Cookies, that is. I had been eyeing this recipe in Dorie Greenspan’s book for quite some time, and the holiday of sukkot seemed like the perfect excuse. Since the cookies were made (and eaten) on the holiday, I didn’t get any pictures so I am posting a gratuitous picture of my little one’s participation in […]

Rosh Hashana Challah

October 7, 2008

This year I didn’t have a chance to make challah for Rosh Hashana and we were stuck eating slightly stale store bought challah to usher in the New Year. Since in my family we eat sweet round challah throughout the holiday season, and my parents were in town this weekend, it seemed like the perfect […]

Shana Tova–A Sweet New Year

September 28, 2008

One side effect of being a rabbinical student who travels to student pulpits for the High Holidays is that I almost never have a chance to cook or bake for the holiday. Since there are no honey cakes or round challah coming out of my kitchen this year (at least not yet) I am posting […]

Chocolate Cupcakes

September 25, 2008

In the year the I have owned Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World I have read it cover to cover probably a dozen times. The cupcakes look great, but somehow I wasn’t quite able to put aside my skepticism that vegan cupcakes could be as good, or even better, than parve cupcakes I could make […]

Cupcakes–a great kind of personality test

September 23, 2008

I saw this and thought it was fun. Here is my result. What are the odds that I would have ended up with a vegan buttercream for my parve blog?

Spicy Hot and Icy Cool: Peppermint Patties and Cinnamon Disks

September 15, 2008

Every once and a while everyone needs a night off. Sure, there are plenty of evenings where time piddles away and at bedtime I realize that I haven’t accomplished anything I set out to accomplish. But an evening of piddling doesn’t have the same relaxing effect as making a clear statement from the beginning that it is an […]

Ginger Cheesecake with Sour Cherry Compote

September 11, 2008

For many years I refused to make parve versions of any dessert that was by definition supposed to be dairy. Like cheesecake. Or ice cream. Or caramel. There are worlds of delicious parve desserts that are not merely a poor imitation of the original dairy version and those seemed like a better place to start if I […]

Chick-o-Stick Ice Cream

September 5, 2008

Last year, while perusing the retro candy section at Dylan’s Candy Bar, my husband stumbled upon his favorite childhood candy. The Chick-o-Stick.  As I nostalgically looked at the wax bottles filled with sweet colored liquid, the wax lips, and the candy buttons on the paper ribbon, resisting buying them because I knew they would only disappoint, he confidently […]

Egg White Marshmallows

September 2, 2008

After a weekend of making incredibly rich dairy food for friends (including the most amazing french toast ever) I found myself with a large number of egg whites that needed using up. I am not a huge fan of meringues or angel food cake, so I decided this was my opportunity to try egg white […]
