On the 8th Day of Hanukkah
For the last day of Hanukkah, I wanted to show off some of the holiday fare my family and friends were generous enough to share with me. My mom put together a delicious spread to celebrate the end of the holiday. A combination of fruit, potato latkes and her take on a Western-style Omelette completed […]

The holidays are always filled with lots of food. People break out their “fat pants” and flowy dresses so they can indulge a bit more without feeling those tight waistbands. But fear not! Here is a delicious dessert that won’t break the scale, but will still satisfy your sweet tooth. Thank you, Skinnytaste, for for […]
On the 6th day of Hanukkah…
Merry Christmas, foodies! If you’re like me and my family, you will be spending today eating Chinese food or some other kind of Asian cuisine, and going to the movies. This is the stereotypical day for a Jewish family that isn’t joining in on any Christmas celebrations. So in honor of this tradition, I made […]
On the 5th Day of Hanukkah…
Just because I live in Florida and the temperature hasn’t dipped below 70 yet doesn’t mean I don’t associate the holidays with a little frostbite and snowfall. Winters in New Jersey over the past couple years have not been fun; there was more snow than I care to recall and the thermometer boasted single-digit numbers […]

Day number two brings you another sweet holiday treat: peppermint bark. Around this time of year, every store you walk into carries various kinds of peppermint bark. It’s easy to go and buy these delicious chocolate candies, but it’s so much more fun to make on your own! It’s very simple, too. All you need […]

In the spirit of these holiday-friendly posts, I’ve decided to stick to my Jewish roots and join in on the fun with an Eight Days of Hanukkah Cook-a-Thon! For the first night of Hanukkah, […]
Weird December Holidays for Foodies
There seems to be a holiday for everything. Take today, for example. National Cotton Candy Day. Naturally this means everyone should find the nearest carnival and pig out on this sugary treat. Or you could go for a more nontraditional route and find cotton candy flavored things to nosh on such as ice cream or […]
