I picked up can after can of refried beans looking for that magic little symbol. Star K, OU, CRC – whatever, I’m not picky about hechshers. I just want one.

Sticky and sweet. Delicious.

In order to win a baking contest, I made these brownies. They combine pretzels, peanut butter, and chocolate to create a sweet and salty taste explosion.

Yum!

Tiramisu is Italian for “pick me up,” and this coffee flavored cake is sure to be the perfect after dinner pick me up in your house.

Or rather, the Kugel.

Shiksa Eats: Yerushalmi Kugel

I’m headed to a potluck BBQ with some friends for July 4th, and kugel seemed like the best dish to bring to share. Little did I know what trouble it would cause me.

The Great Minnesota Bagel Showdown

Three self-proclaimed experts attempt to find the best bagel in the Twin Cities – and are shocked by the results.

Final product!

Shiksa Eats: Honey Biscuits

I set out to make honey cake, and ended up with honey biscuits instead. These are a great addition to family dinners as a substitute for pre-packaged rolls!

Shortly after taking this picture, I inhaled this slice of lasagna. My life is the life of Garfield.

Whether you’re looking to use the season’s freshest vegetables, or are trying to trick your family into eating theirs, vegetable lasagna is a great way to go.

Whoever decided to name these suckers clearly needs to go back to elementary school and learn their animals.

Pigs in Blankets are a great appetizer or kid-friendly snack. This week I explored making a kosher version.

The rugelach. Pre-baking.

Like normal pancakes, but with cheese.

For a unique and (mildly) healthier twist on your pancakes, try adding your leftover cottage cheese from Shavuot.

The Scoop on Corporate Social Responsibility: Ben & Jerry’s Deconstructed

I recently attended a lecture by Ben & Jerry’s co-founder and fellow Jew, Jerry Greenfield. The free ice cream didn’t hurt (Cherry Garcia, anyone?), and I was glad to hear Jerry’s business philosophy.

Let’s Talk Kosher

Let’s Talk Kosher

I had a kosher hot dog for lunch today, and realized that I had no idea what the difference was between that hot dog and the Ball Park Franks in my fridge. So I went on a quest to find out.

Don't cha wish your girlfriend made pot pie like me?

Howie Mandell’s Matzo Brei

Looking forward to a visit from my parents and the one thing my dad ever cooked for me.

Me and my Matzah!

Shiksa Eats: Wait. Is Matzah a Bread? Or a Cracker?

Matzah has been called the drywall of unleavened bread. Well, I bet even drywall is better with pizza toppings.
