The original recipe mentions this- but I mean they are RICH! One bar will do ya!! Of course these bars are from The … More Peanut Butter Crispy Bars
I was not born Jewish, but 17 years ago I did marry into a Jewish family. I love the traditions within the religion, and I especially love (some) of the food. Gefilte fish, not so much, but bring me all the latkes, rugelach, and challah! I have tried challah in the past, but it never … More Challah
FRIDAY!!!! It is officially the end of the first quarter of the school year and I can’t believe we are 1/4 of the way done! In one sense – it has flown by! But, of course, there were weeks like this one that seemed to last a month… Back in August I was searching for … More TGIF – fun finds

I can’t remember where I found this recipe, but I do remember that I was watching a Giada De Laurentiis … More “Fried” Ravioli
Happy Friday! This past month I received this Obsidian Eyeliner from Kaleido Cosmetics in my Ipsy bag. I love a good black eyeliner, and this one is fantastic! It goes on flawlessly and I’ve been using it now for a few weeks and I haven’t had a bad eye make-up day yet. You can have … More TGIF- fun finds
As I have said before (and I’ll keep saying it!) my mom was (still is!) a pretty good cook. Growing up, we had home cooked meals most nights and there was usually a special baked treat once a week or so. One of the best treats, that is still a favorite of my brother, are … More Black-Bottom Pumpkin Muffins
I have been aware of the Thug Kitchen for some time. I love the IG feed and the idea of brining some bad-assery into the world of vegan cooking. But, this is my first time making something from the Thug Kitchen- and I was ready to embrace it! I decided to try the Crispy Crab(less) … More Crispy Artichoke Cakes
