Seared Scallops and Steak with Manhattan Sauce

Fish Tacos with Tomatillo Sauce
I'm having a busy week at work, so I need some quick meals that still taste delicious but I can make in no time. My go-to for quick meals are Cooking Light's tacos. I don't know how they do it, but … [Read more...]
Badenjan Chalow

Brisket Ragout Over Pasta
As someone who went to Catholic school for most of my life, kosher cooking isn't exactly something I was exposed to. I have a general understanding of what it means to keep kosher, but I really never … [Read more...]
Matzo Ball Soup

Fettuccine with Seared Tomatoes, Spinach, and Burrata
There are few things pasta can't cure. (I'm not a doctor so don't hold me to this) Pasta is my ultimate comfort food. Growing up, it was literally the only food my grandma (my mom's mom) would make … [Read more...]
