I have been doing apple everything this Rosh Hashanah: apple caramel challah, apple babka, apple butter, apple sauce, apples in my lokshen kugel. I had a bag of dried apple chunks and thought, what about apple mandelbrot? I whipped them up into mandelbrot and dipped it in melted butterscotch chips (rather than chocolate chips). I […]
In my quest to put sourdough in everything I decided to try sourdough zucchini bread. It is zucchini season and I consider zucchini bread by far the best use of zucchinis (especially if there are chocolate chips in it). The recipe really isn’t so different than regular zucchini bread. It also isn’t any more difficult. […]
My sophomore year of college a Pressed Juicery opened near Columbia. For the rest of college and pre-pandemic law school this became my go to lunch place when I didn’t pack a lunch and had to be on campus. I would get their freezes which are kind of like healthy ice cream and while they […]
We do date night once a week and this week was my turn to choose what to do. I decided I wanted to do an indoor camping evening with s’mores (always up for quarantine activity ideas!). We did this once before back in April during Pesach but then instead of graham crackers we had matzah. […]
I love Mandelbrot. It is similar to biscottis just with Ashkenazi origins instead of Italian ones and a slightly different texture. I believe both cookies are better when dipped in chocolate. These cookies remind me of childhood. When I was in grade school there was extra time between school ending and either my ballet class […]
We received this beautiful Chrysler building bundt cake pan as an engagement present and we have been so excited to use it. The Chrysler building is my favorite building and despite having been in the city since COVID began we haven’t gone to midtown or anywhere else you would see it since before March, so […]
As wonderful as the strawberry shortcake was it still left us with a plethora of strawberries. The days are hot here in New York and popsicles sounded perfect. These strawberry lemonade popsicles are very easy and a refreshing treat. A lot of people make lemonade with a simple syrup which to me sounds like far […]
The other weekend we went upstate to get away for a weekend and hike. We ended up stopping at a farm to pick strawberries and raspberries on our way home. Both were plentiful and delicious. We came back with a giant pail of strawberries. I remember as a child having strawberry shortcake on days we […]
