Watching War Unfold and “Stuffing Muffins” (Kosher Connections Linkup, November 2012)

I feel a little guilty counting my blessings today.  I have plenty of things to be thankful for and the last few weeks have reminded me of that but today it seems wrong to talk about all the good things.  I feel like I am sitting in my house watching a storm on the other side of the window, except the storm is rocket fire from Gaza and my window [...]

Tyler Florence inspired Swedish Meatballs

I am a Tyler Florence Fan. I like his approach to food, I share his love for travel, and I really hope that one day I’ll have his kitchen. Until then, perhaps I will make do with saving up for some Tyler Florence Cookware. During the summer of last year, having moved to a new town, I was looking for work I spent many an hour watching The Food Network [...]
