Cinnamon Swirl Bread

2024-05-15T13:45:38-04:00May 15th, 2024|Categories: Bread, Breakfast/Brunch, Food Columns|Tags: |

As I write this column, it is early April and I am gazing out my window at the falling snow, the sixth snowfall in as many weeks.  Spring arrived last week, but she is nowhere to be found.  I know I should be writing about a springtime recipe for May, but it is cold and [...]

Passover French Toast

2024-04-28T19:09:37-04:00April 28th, 2024|Categories: Breakfast/Brunch, Dairy, Passover|Tags: |

Crafting a delicious Passover French Toast involves a simple twist to my traditional French Toast recipe: I swap out the usual bread for my Passover sponge cake or chiffon cake. The results are sublime and often even better than the year-round version! The cake can be homemade, store bought or from a mix. Enjoy! [...]

Banana Chiffon Truffles

These are one of my favorite Passover confections.  You bake a scrumptious Kosher for Passover banana chiffon cake, then pull off pieces of the cake and roll them into balls that are approximately 1 and 1/2 inches.  After a short stint in the fridge you dip the balls into melted chocolate. The recipe serves double duty as [...]

For Passover 2016 I used my homemade Passover granola recipe to make these Passover granola treats, the Passover version of Rice Krispie treats. These tasty treats were a huge hit and I’ve been making them for Passover ever since. I’ve provided a recipe for my homemade Passover granola, but you can use store bought Passover [...]

Passover Baked Onion Rings

These kosher for Passover onion rings are baked, not fried. They’re low-fat and low-cal, so feel free to take seconds.  Onions are rich in l-tryptophan—an amino acid that is a natural sedative, so eat a bunch of these onion rings and get a good night’s sleep.  And…yes…kosher for Passover panko crumbs are available.  Wishing all [...]

Tsimmes For Passover

2024-04-12T11:27:45-04:00April 12th, 2024|Categories: Passover, Side Dishes, Vegetables|

This is my version of Tsimmes--a traditional Ashkenazi Jewish dish of stewed vegetables and dried fruits.  It has sweet overtones to evoke a Sweet New Year.  "Tsimmes" is Yiddish for "fuss".  This Tsimmes comes together quickly and is not too "fussy".
