These days most of my desire to cook revolves around cooking for my daughter and her family, and for my sons Danny and Benji. My daughter had gone to Whole Foods and she and her family had eaten the shepherd’s pie from the hot food bar. She told me it was the best thing she’d […]

Shepherd’s Pie
Thanksgiving 2011
This year I had Thanksgiving at home, which was great. In attendance were my daughter and her family, my daughter’s in laws, my mother, my mother’s best friend and a absolute love of my family, Adele Hochheiser, my son Benji (home from his student teaching in New Hampshire), my son Danny, and my brother and his […]
Erev Yom Kippur 2011 and the Reemergence of the Lime Jello Mold
Yesterday was Erev Yom Kippur, and I had the beautiful privilege of spending it with my family. We had the dinner at my daughter’s house, and those present were my mother, my son Danny, my daughter Randi and her 2 children Noah (3) and Ezra 10 months) and her husband Dan, her mother in law Marsha and […]
Croissant Bread Pudding With Chocolate Chips
I recently watched an old episode of Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello, and he made a luscious looking bread pudding. I made a few changes to his recipe, and I really loved the results. What is remarkable about this recipe is that it is so easy to make. Below is my version of his recipe.
12 plain […]
My New Chicken Cutlets
I made this recipe three times, and the flavors are really great. My daughter Randi loved the chicken, so I’m sold.
1 1/2 pounds organic chicken cutlets
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil mixed with 1 large or 2 medium garlic cloves grated
pinch kosher salt
pinch of red pepper flakes
sprinkling of dried oregano
about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup grated […]
Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Icing
My grandson Noah’s third birthday was coming up, and my daughter Randi asked me if I wanted to make the cupcakes. I think she knew what my answer would be. I just needed to find the perfect recipe. After reading many blogs about cupcakes, I couldn’t decide between a recipe from the Hershey’s website which Hershey’s […]
Homemade Ricotta Cheese with Fresh Herbs and Lemon
Over the last few months, I’ve been wanting to make my own ricotta cheese. I read a few recipes for this delicate and delicious cheese, I took a some ideas from a few sources and came up with my own version. I served mine this weekend at my grandson’s third birthday party, and it was […]
Philadelphia Style Vanilla or Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
I’ve been wanting to make a Philadelphia style version of the David Lebovitz’s custard style vanilla ice cream I made last summer. My two favorite ice creams are Breyer’s vanilla, and Baskin Robbin’s chocolate chip. I love Breyers because it tastes like cream and vanilla with nothing artificial added. I love Baskin Robbins chocolate chip […]
Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins
I found a great recipe for chocolate chip muffins on a blog called evilshenanigans.com. I adapted the recipe and made a few changes, and the muffins were really delicious.

2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup orange juice
3/4 cup […]
Eggs and Potatoes in One Pan
I often make one of my specialties, called brenta, which is a recipe of my Grandma Hindes. Brenta means burned in Yiddish, and these are basically fried potatoes- a Jewish version of hash browns- but better (you can find this recipe on this site under potatoes).
To make this, I put about 1 tablespoon of butter […]
