Ready to use your creativity in the kitchen to help your family eat more healthfully? Lets start with potato kugel, something I’ve started making on Fridays, instead of my Moroccan chickpeas, as part of a lunch that generally includes a sampling of shabbat salads, or a plate of fresh vegetables. Potato kugel is a staple…

Cooking Beets, Beans And Brown Rice In A Pressure Cooker!
As a child I remember my mother cooking artichokes in a pressure cooker, oh and maybe corned beef, but that was about it as far as my knowledge of pressure cookers. Fast forward to today…..I am a busy mother who often cooks for a crowd, and I often ask other women for cooking tips as…

Spelt Challah – A Welcome Addition To Our Shabbat Table!
Introducing mini spelt challahs, made from my spelt oatmeal roll recipe, with the quantities doubled. And because the spelt dough doesn’t rise nearly as much as dough made with white flour, the braided loaves really retain a distinct braid. These loaves were made with a braid using six strands, my current favorite. I even recently…

Greek Yogurt Smoothie With Fruit….Delicious and Nutritious!
Greek yogurt is all the rage in the US, and touted at the healthiest dairy source, so I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon and introduce it to my family, especially since I’m all in favor of consuming dairy products made using goat’s milk, and greek yogurt is one of them! I whipped up this…

These spelt rolls made with oatmeal and date syrup were a huge hit last night at dinner, and I have to admit, they were delicious! So delicious in fact that I couldn’t quite believe it! A neighbor and I recently found a way to order our favorite organic spelt flour directly from the supplier in…

The Perfect Bowl Of Oatmeal….With Coconut Oil!
I really don’t know why it is that I never actually figured out how to make oatmeal properly all these years! Truthfully I have not been adding enough water (or milk), which explains why it was so gloppy most of the time! Now thanks to my friend from Amsterdam, who at the end of our…

Homemade Spelt Tortillas!
Sorry, I don’t have a photo for you, at this point the tortillas are history! I made a batch of spelt tortillas right before shabbat, because my oven isn’t working and I really didn’t have time to bake some pitas using my whole wheat pita recipe, (but with spelt) and my pita pot (which only…
