Eggs are poached in a spice-infused tomato sauce for a filling and easy weeknight dinner that’s commonly served for breakfast in Israel. Shakshuka! Isn’t that such a fun word to say?! If you’re not sure, here’s how it’s pronounced: shahk-SHOO-kah. You’re probably wondering what in the world this word is and what does it mean. Shakshuka is a very popular…
For someone who wasn’t the biggest egg lover, I’ve certainly been making a lot of egg recipes lately. For some reason, since the birth or my girls 16 months ago, I have a newfound liking of eggs – but only in certain forms. One of said forms is the frittata. I have been experimenting with various types of frittatas, including…
Asparagus, fava beans, and mint are tossed together in a light, lemony ricotta sauce for a spring pasta dish that’s worth working for! Fava beans are a great spring vegetable that you’ll see on restaurant menus this time of year, but many people don’t even consider making them at home and until now I was one of them. But then I…
This post was written by Rosemary Squires When you go out to eat you generally think ordering a salad is a safe choice, right? Well sometimes salad is not the healthiest option on the menu. Lots of calories, sodium, and unhealthy fats may be lurking under those seemingly healthy greens. And if you’re at one of those make-your-own salad bars, there…
Celebrating an anniversary, birthday, or just the love that you share with someone special? You don’t have to spend money going out to a fancy dinner for every occasion. Sometimes it’s nice to make a romantic dinner for two in your own home. Set the mood with dim lighting, candles, some romantic music, and a Nutritioulicious meal that will knock…
Along with a taste of warmer weather the past few days, my mouth has started to water for refreshing summer cocktails. Truth be told, I am not a big drinker – hard alcohol (i.e. vodka, rum, gin) and I aren’t the best of friends. My drink of choice is usually a crisp glass of white wine, prefereably a New Zealand…
When my husband sees a salad section on a menu he usually dismisses it without even looking and goes on to read the more interesting sounding appetizers and entrees. So when he comes home from work to find that we’re having salad as part of the meal he’s usually not very excited. That’s not to say he doesn’t like salad,…
Hello April! It finally looks like Spring around here – hopefully that’s not an April Fools joke! Hope everyone had a nice Spring Break, Passover, and/or Easter holiday. We’re down to the last two days of Passover at our house and it’s been a nice holiday so far. I can’t say I’ve really missed any of the foods you’re not…
Updated April 6, 2015 As promised, here are some of my recipes that can be made all year round, but are also acceptable on Passover. Some have minor modifications that take into account those foods you cannot eat on Passover. Roasted Chicken with Fennel, Carrots, and Dried Plums Roasted Chicken with Artichokes, Peppers, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes Chicken Mexicano with Nectarine…
Tonight starts the Jewish holiday of Passover, a holiday that celebrates Jewish freedom. Just like most other Jewish holidays (except Yom Kippur and a few other fast days), the week-long holiday is filled with food. But it’s not your typical kugels and challah that we’ll be eating all week. Passover comes with many food restrictions, including all leavened products containing wheat,…
March (usually) means all things green: sprouts of green popping up from the ground, window boxes of beautiful and fragrant herbs, and the beginnings of fresh green grass filling lawns. Unfortunately, it’s still quite cold in New York – snow is even in the forecast for this weekend – so we haven’t seen the signs of spring just yet. But…
