My favorite kind of shabbos lunch appetizer to serve is a log of something that I can put on a board and serve with a knife - so everyone can cut the size slice of their choosing.

If you've been grocery shopping lately, I'm sure you've noticed how high meat prices have gotten lately. So when I'm cooking for shabbos, I try to shop the meat sales. Another thing I do is to is look for ways to elevate ground beef into a Shabbos-worthy dish. And this French Onion Meatballs and Gnocchi dish is exactly that! It may seem like a lot of work to caramelize the onions deeply, but it's really just an hour of mostly hands-off time. And the reward is incredibly tasty onions that flavor this dish in the best way possible!  Did you … [Read more...]

Loaded Steak Salad

P.S – it’s completely free!   If you've been a guest in my home, you already know that I love to put together a great salad. In my opinion, the secret that sets a good salad apart from a great one is a TON of textural elements. One crunchy thing is good, but multiple crunches is better. You need chewy, soft, crispy....you get the idea! While I generally like a tossed salad, an arranged platter like this is great for a crowd. It looks beautiful, but it also allows everyone to choose which components … [Read more...]

Welcome to episode 2 of my new series, Dinner Roulette: You Vote, I Cook! This week, my instagram followers chose: Beef Stew Meat Mushrooms Sweet Potatoes  Cooked in the oven This was a fun challenge!
