My daughter just celebrated her birthday with two friends. They decided to have a skating party, which meant no work for me. Which does not compute around here. So I brought the cake. Rainbow colored polka dots was about perfect for a 13yo party. Fun but not babyish. Who doesn’t love polka dots? We were…
Earlier today I posted a recipe for Pitzataschen – ie Pita Pizzas that look like Hamentaschen. It got me thinking of other purim snacks that I could whip up in a flash. Since I cannot get out the pita bread, without someone in my family doing a deep fridge dive for hummous and olives –…
Need a quick, super easy snack for your kid’s Purim party at pre-school? Note to the non-Jews: Technically these are just Pita Pizzas ok? They are triangular-hat-shaped because the villian of the Purim story, Haman, wore a triangular hat. And now we eat his hat. Yum. Mostly we eat ”Hamantaschen” that are cookie-like and sweet….
I don’t even watch the Superbowl, but after looking at these Snackadiums I am overwhelmed with an urge to host a party just so I can construct one of these big bad beautiful buffets. Sure they are a little gross, and full of things you probably should not ever eat (slim jim goal posts?) but…
Certain things from the time “before” I was Gluten Free (over a decade ago!) I still miss. Warm apple pie, topped with ice cream, for example. It’s not impossible to find a decent gluten free pie crust. It’s just difficult and involves a lot of driving to multiple stores in search of that one mix/crust…
I’m not making resolutions this year. It’s a recipe for disappointment, in my experience. Call me superstitious but whenever I make a resolution, I seem to face a major curveball, and that leads to a colossal sense of failure. If anything, I resolve not to be so hard on myself when things don’t work out….
I jumped on the juice bus about a year ago. Long before I’d ever heard of Spud.com. It makes perfect sense for me. I’m gluten free and sensitive to so many preservatives and additives. I worry about what nutrients I’m getting from my diet. Often I don’t eat for fear of making myself sick, or…
I’ve been working on a few Pinterest -based round ups over on Casa De Chaos. I love all these ideas for re styling your old tees into something sparkly and new, just in time for the holidays. There’s some great ideas here and really in the nick of time given that most of us are…
We have a funny family tradition at Hanukkah. It started over ten years ago when we felt pressured by our neighbors to decorate/light our house for the holidays. Our hood goes all out and gets competitive with it. There are cash prizes to the most well lit tract in our little town. Cash = awesome…
