The last time I cooked with and wrote about KOL Foods I made a lamb wellington which proved to be very popular with our dinner guests and everyone that read the post. The dish was a lot of fun to prepare and the same is true about this stuffed turkey breast. Turkey breast often has the reputation for being the dry and flavorless, left to snack on when nursing that post-Thanksgiving [...]

I am a little obsessed with my brand new Falcon Enamel cookware. Everything I cook in this bake set has an authentic farm-to-table feel about it that can only come from cook ware made with love. As a tribute to Falcon, shipped from London to my home in America’s Mid-West, I decided to share a traditional British dish with you today, Shepard’s pie. Thanks to the kind people at Falcon, [...]

If you’ve spent any time in Israel, you’ll have an opinion on where to get the best falafel in the county. In Jerusalem alone I had a favorite falafel vendor in four different neighborhoods, all of whom do something a little different when creating their version of this classic Israeli street food. Whether you like your falafel in a pita bread or the larger Iraqi laffa bread; served with amba [...]

A couple of months ago, I learned Mrs Smith was to retire. Mrs Smith taught me when I was young, perhaps five or six years old, and not for more than a year or two because we moved to another town. More than 20 years later, you ask me which of the educators had the biggest impact on my life, I’ll tell you it was Mrs Smith. She had a [...]

When I think of chili, I typically think the heavy dish of red kidney beans and ground beef that is a meal in itself, but we’ll all too often ladle over a hot dog or a baked potato as though it’s a condiment. My chili con carne is an awesome dish no matter how you serve it, but this vegetarian chili is altogether something else. It is filling without being heavy [...]

When I think of the local kosher deli, my mind wonders to the world of black and white photography where I find an elderly couple, so deep in love and wise from their years together, standing beside barrels and barrels of home pickled cucumbers. Loyal customers cycle by to make their daily purchase of fresh food to feed their family The walls of the deli are lined with communal notices, [...]

September is really the month of celebration in our home now. Our baby girl arrived two weeks before our fourth wedding anniversary, and later this month, This American Bite will celebrate it’s first birthday. Over the last year, I have established myself as a food blogger and demonstrated how healthy, kosher, and local food can be made in the home kitchen. During this journey, I have also had the honor of [...]

I’ve been itching to cook with my ramekins ever since that little box arrived from Amazon a few months back. The chicken pot pies didn’t happen, neither did the apple pies, chocolate souffles or mac and (cashew) cheese bowels. I was starting to wonder if this impulse buy was ever going to see the inside of my oven. Tonight, when I got home from work I dozed off in front of the TV and [...]

I’m not much of a fan of summer. I don’t sleep well, I sweat, I dehydrate, and my electricity bills are through the roof from running AC. We are raised to look forward to summer, school’s out and trips are planned, but if your career is not that of an educator, once you’ve graduated, summer is just like winter, spring or fall, except for hikes in air-fare and gas prices. [...]

Turkey’s are big. More often than not, there’s more leftover turkey than you want to see. Our 25lb bird is a little big and there’s limit to the number of turkey sandwiches, turkey salad and turkey soup that you can eat in the month of November. I don’t break a sweat thinking about cooking a Thanksgiving meal, we host a four-course dinner every single Friday night. It’s the leftover turkey [...]
