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…
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Kudos and thanks to my husband for making me a delicious Mother’s Day brunch. He loves to cook, but rarely gets to do so these days, so he was excited to get into the kitchen and cook up some yummy breakfast treats including baked bread pudding French toast and a sun-dried tomato asparagus quiche….
Happy Earth Day! This past weekend I celebrated at the Serenbe Community in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia. What an amazing place that focuses on land preservation, agriculture, energy efficiency, green building, walkability, high density building, arts and culture, and community living for multiple generations. I’ll tell you more about it another time, but boy was it great to be outside enjoying the sights…
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…
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Did you do anything fun? The weather was beautiful around here – we enjoyed some walks, time on the swings, and a couple of birthday parties. Plus, I helped out at the Lower Westchester Mother of Multiples‘ Tag Sale, which overall was a great success (although I had things that didn’t sell, including our…
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…
I’ve always been an advocate of families eating meals together. Over the years I have written and been interviewed about the importance of family meals and tips for how families can eat together. Today I have two pieces of exciting news on this topic: Firstly, I am proud to announce that I am a winner of the Welch’s Reward RD contest!…
