Its the 9 days this week - a period of mourning in the Jewish Calendar when we don't do a number of things, including drinking wine and eating meat. For someone like me, who doesn't like fish, this can be a really tricky time to eat wholesome and filling meals. People often turn to pasta and pizza for the week, but many such dishes are very high in calories, full of heavy cream and similar products. While I love a good penne a la vodka or fettuccini … [Read more...]

Pastrami Stuffed Shells with Honey Mustard Onion Sauce
Pastrami Stuffed Shells with Honey Mustard Onion Sauce are unique, full of flavor, and a guaranteed hit! I feel like this dish should have been created ages before it was.
