Noshin’ Recipe: Homemade Mac n’ Cheese
This mac n’ cheese is gooey, soul-soothing, family-friendly, and quick to make, to boot. And, if you bake it in a pretty dish, it can even feel a little fancy. Definitely fancy enough for Shabbat.

Test-driving vegetarianism is a great way for foodies to celebrate Earth Day. Plus a list of great deals for Earth Day all over Minnesota!
The St. Paul JCC is partnering with Hazon to offer a CSA — and not just any CSA (localized food systems that directly link a farmer to a consumer), but a CSA provided by Minnesota’s only Jewish Organic farmer (!!!).
