For Erev Yom Kippur dinner last night, I made mashed potatoes. I thought they were good, but my daughter Randi swooned as she ate some and said, “These potatoes are like fluffy clouds, they’re so light! She asked me if I had done anything different than usual to which I said I didn’t, but I […]

I just made this pie to bring to Randi’s for Erev Rosh Hashana on Sept. 22, 2025. The pie was heavenly. I loved the crust- delicious! I’m always searching of the perfect pie crust; I think I may have found it. I liked the flavor of it, since it’s made with both Crisco and butter. […]

I’ve been making this spinach pie for years for my daughter and my grandkids. During dinner tonight at my daughter’s house, my grandson Ezra said, “Safta, this is my favorite dinner!” Noah chimed in his agreement. They each had at least 4 or 5 pieces. My daughter said, “This is the perfect comfort food.” […]

I tried a new recipe for buttermilk pancakes that’s very similar to my other ones. I was very happy with the result and so was my own personal Alex Si Hente (from the old Savarin Coffee commercial), my son Benji. I also made them for my mother’s best friend Adele, and she enjoyed them as […]

This is one of my favorite summer dinners to eat and make. When my parents were alive, I loved to make this for them (with french fries, too) because they loved it to the nth degree. And what I loved was how much they loved the meal and how they commented with almost every bite […]

I made this most recently today to bring to Randi’s. Randi said, “This is definitely one of my absolute favorite desserts you make.” I used only organic nectarines (not peeled) from Whole Foods. I used about 8 medium nectarines, and it was the perfect amount for 1 galette. I usually bake pies, but sometimes, I […]

I was recently at 2 parties where my cousin Jane made the Magnolia Bakery recipe for banana pudding. I couldn’t help but notice how everybody was going crazy for it. So this weekend I decided to make it as a dessert for my grandson Noah’s afterbirthday party (7 years old). My daughter told me that […]

I most recently made this last night, Jan 9, 2025, to bring over to Randi’s house. She just texted me from work, writing: “I didn’t get to taste the quiche last night. Brought the last small piece to work. It’s amazing…So delish. I could have eaten twice as much of it. You’ll have to make […]

I’ve made many different recipes for corn bread and corn muffins. I happened to have on hand a mix from Stonewall Kitchen for cornbread which I used for corn muffins. Although I usually am pretty negative towards mixes, I have to admit that this one was great. The muffins had that perfect taste between savory […]
