This is so easy (trust me, I’m not an experienced baker) and everyone at our Rosh Hashanah table wanted me to do it again. The cake itself tastes like challah (it is very eggy.)
Hat tip to Food 52. I revised their recipe by adding cinnamon. What do you think? Should an apple cake be made without cinnamon?

After returning from Italy this summer, I began dreaming about making cappuccinos and lattes at home. The price at Starbucks is really rather ridiculous. And besides, they don’t deliver! So I read all the espresso machine reviews at Amazon, and decided on the DeLonghi EC155 based on a combination of its low-price and good reviews. [...]
This is a splurge purchase that I put off for a long time. But I finally realized that home cooking saves money, and not ruining an expensive piece of meat? That’s priceless! Ha ha ha. Anyway, I use this instant read thermometer several times a week when roasting or rotisserie-ing something yummy for dinner. Hubby [...]
Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays, but since the kids left home, it has taken on an even bigger significance. Both my kids are coming home for Thanksgiving, and we are hosting 20+ family members for dinner. I am over-the-moon excited. Each year, I try to vary the menu, while keeping all [...]
Good news from the Harvard School of Public Health. Coffee-drinking women reduce their risk of depression with every cup. And women who drink four cups of caffeinated coffee a day, are 20% less likely to suffer from depression. Woo hoo!! Does this make my De’Longhi Espresso maker a deductible medical expense? Ha ha ha!!

All those Seattleites who tell us Californians that it always rains in Seattle, are just pulling our (collective) legs! The weather this week has been beautiful. I am here for a (kinda secret) mastermind meeting with about thirty of the smartest people I know. Before the meetings started this afternoon, I walked down to the [...]
Sauteed baby bok choy is quick to make, and adds a tasty Asian flavor to any meal. And they are available at most grocery stores now a days. I have not provided any quantity information here, as this recipe is fairly straightforward, and you can make a single serving (as in the photo below) or [...]
This recipe was just one of the hits from yesterday’s Thanksgiving feast. Since several family members have asked for the recipe, here goes. 1 head cauliflower, cut into medium florets 1/4 cup olive oil 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp fennel seeds 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp curry powder 1/2 tsp salt Preheat the [...]
I take it as a great compliment that my grown son calls and asks for recipes from his childhood. This week, he made his first turkey dinner, a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving, because he will be coming to my house for Thanksgiving (yea!!) I got the call when he was at the grocery store, [...]
This is for all of you, but especially Robyn, Carol, and Debbie. It’s my recipe for Blackened Salmon Caesar Salad that I promised you. Since I had to type it out anyway, instead of putting in an email to you, I decided to post it on my blog. Isn’t that what bloggers do? Blackened Salmon [...]
