I love beer! There, I said it! But what does it have to do with this post? Ahhhh…this post is about one of the best things to go with beer – Dill Pickles. And not just any dill pickles, homemade ones. Ever since I can remember myself my favorite type of dill pickle was the […]
I think that people think that if you love cooking and baking you must love most foods. Well, I’m not sure about the others but I don’t. For example, I will never be able to clean up a fish and then cut and cook it, same goes for chicken. I also don’t like quinoa, brown […]

So I decided to take advantage of the fact that these past few days were a Jewish holiday that focuses on eating dairy (“Shavuot”) and dived in, […]
Shavuot is one of my favorite Jewish holidays. Shavuot commemorates the anniversary of the day the Torah (10 commandments) was given to the entire nation of Israel assembled at Mount Sinai. Now, that’s all nice and dandy but what I really like about the holiday is the food – obviously. You see, this holiday is […]
