The truth about Pesach is that most of us overdo the food. I am sharing my thoughts on what we do to ourselves when preparing for Pesach. The story Pesach is a time of sadness for the Jewish people, we were slaves in Egypt. Pesach is also a time of great joy. We became a […]

This week’s meal planning blog is actually not really about meal planning at all. We have come out of the first set of Jewish holidays, Rosh Hashanah, the New Year, and are moving into the next, which is Yom Kippur. This is a day of repentance, 25 hours to be precise. At this time we […]

Rosh Hashonah, it’s here. What are your plans? Have you ordered your meat? Do you know what you are making? Yom Tov is always special, even for those who don’t keep Shabbat, as we make an extra effort with food and table settings. For the first time ever, I know what I am making and […]
