A couple of years ago I attempted baking gluten-free biscuits. This was when I had first started eating gluten-free. They were terrible! Either they came out dry and crumbly or as heavy as a hockey puck. I chalked it up as a loss, reaffirmed my hatred of baking and moved on to other recipes. But […]

` Lately I have been craving a lot of the foods my mother used to make. A few weeks ago I started thinking about her potato knishes. Oh, how we all got happy when Mom made knishes! When Mom got busy making something like knishes, she made enough to feed an army. She brought some […]
“It is much easier to show compassion to animals. They are never wicked.” – Haile Selassie I miss a lot of things since moving upstate especially all the different types of food I used to be able to eat. Of all the cuisines I miss, the one I miss the most? Ital food! Not […]
I love when it’s apple-picking season. It’s the time of the year I most want to bake desserts. But I like desserts that aren’t that sweet. My favorite desserts have fruits and vegetables in them such as carrot, squash, zucchini, bananas and apples with warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. This apple cake […]
It’s October! October is my favorite month of the year.

It’s the month of Tom’s and my anniversary. This year will be 10 YEARS since we met in my […]
