Holiday

By day 4 of Passover, I know it’s hard to stomach another meal made of matzah, but this out-of-the-box take on overnight french toast is a welcome change! Layers of matzah, banana,  topped with a light + fluffy egg custard – what could be better? […]

  You know those recipes that you just see and immediately have to stop in your tracks, drop EVERYTHING and make? This, my friends, was one of them for me, and hopefully you too (and hence why you’ve visited the post). Up until about 36 […]

The one silver lining of this whole never-ending quarantine is that I’ve had more time to cook than almost ever before (proof is on the scale, lol!). But hosting the Passover Seder is no joke! I made Passover last year for 12 people (my first […]

Thanksgiving is SO close that I can almost taste it, can you? Maybe that’s because my office hosted a Thanksgiving potluck this week and I’ve already had a “teaser.” Now I can’t wait! But it also means I really need to get a move on […]

  YUP – it’s that time of year again! I’m all set to host our 3rd annual Thanksgiving and I don’t know about you, but I already feel behind. Thankfully, I have my Thanksgiving menu planning guide to the rescue! This outline keeps me organized […]

By accident, Cinco de Mayo has become one of our favorite holidays. It kind of started as a running joke with my family when one spring (many years ago when I was still in college) I asked my parents when Cinco de Mayo actually was…. […]

It’s about time I got around to my holiday baking! This month has taken “busy” to a whole new level and I’m just trying to keep it all together and make until Christmas at this point. My dinners have been completely hit or miss this […]

  Thanksgiving is only 5 days away but believe it or not, I’m not stressing, in fact I’m actually feeling on top of everything! Turkey is ordered ✅ shopping is done ✅ meal plan is set ✅ – all thanks to my full proof Thanksgiving […]

  We’re about halfway through the week of Passover and I’m not even close to running out of creative new matzah recipes to try. If you’re like us, your grocery store rewarded you with 7 boxes of matzah for free (well for spending over a […]

  Matzah brittle aka matzah crack is a staple around Passover (and a booming business these days!). You can find website upon website that will ship you pre-made matzah brittle, in an assortment of delicious flavors. But once you master the basic technique of making toffee, […]

  Continuing on with the holiday cooking this week (did you see my Cadbury cookies?!), it was time to give that other big spring holiday some love – Passover! Marc’s favorite of the Jewish holidays, Pesach gets a lot of love in our house. And […]

The holidays are the perfect occasion for more themed menus and we’re kicking it off this year with Hanukkah! I was in a panic yesterday that I hadn’t had a chance to post my Hanukkah recipes (we are so behind on posting!), but thankfully Hanukkah […]

Halloween is right around the corner, which means you have the perfect excuse to throw a costume party and serve up the ultimate combo of fall recipes and spooky treats!  Halloween is an event at our house (it’s Marc’s hands down favorite holiday) and I can […]
