Well, Yom tov has been great so far, and I'm really loving the stretches of nothing to worry about. However, eventually, all that "nothing to worry about" catches up with you after yom tov is over and you're scrambling to get all your school work done. So this post is a quickie. I just made some eggs. This may not sound too thrilling. In fact, it's not TOO thrilling. But these are good eggs. So I'll share their secret. Now remember, this is just between you and me, so no telling, k? The secret? {curry and s'chug} Did you catch that? Good. So here's the recipe. Enjoy! Yummy Spinach Eggs Ingredients: 1/2 Cup Egg Beaters (or two eggs) 1/2 Cup fresh spinach 1 tablespoon chopped garlic (from a jar) 1/4 Cup shredded mozzarella 1/4 teaspoon curry powder 1/2 teaspoon s'chug (Israeli jalapeno dip) 1/4 teaspoon onion powder salt and pepper, to taste Instructions: Beat eggs, cheese, s'chug and seasonings in a bowl. Spray a nonstick frying pan w...

I know what you're all thinking (all two of you!). "Two posts in one week?! Is she MAD?!" Yes. I am. But that's neither here nor there. I'm here to talk to you about the single most important food group out there: Soup. I have always been a soup fiend. When I go to restaurants, it's the thing on the menu that usually attracts me the most (and appetizers, my other favorite food group). I've often thought that if I were to go on any kind of diet, it would be a soup diet. In my opinion, there's just nothing more satisfying, more comforting, more spiritually uplifting then a big bowl of hearty soup. Now here's the sad part of my story. I have rarely been successful at soup-making. I can make all kinds of foods and make 'em delicious, but soups are the only things that have seemed to allude me. Whether I was burning the chicken soup because I hadn't yet mastered the concept of "simmering," or making vegetable soup that was ...

As promised, I return. I started out the night planning to make a minestrone soup that sounded amazing, but realized that since I have a paper due on Thursday it might not be the best idea to make something which requires so much prep work. So instead, I decided to make homemade pizza. It all started out innocently enough. I whipped up the dough in a matter of minutes (recipe below), preheated my toaster oven and took some pictures. Then, I rolled the dough out, placed it on a little baking sheet and put it in the toaster oven to prebake the crust a little to avoid sogginess. I start cleaning up and suddenly, my toaster oven breaks. It just shuts off and refuses to turn back on. Now, I don't have a milchig oven. My toaster oven (which was a wonderful wedding gift from my father's friend) was all I had for milchig baking. But I didn't have time to mourn that loss just then. I had pizza dough to save! Now here I was, two small pizza crusts all set, and my only option...

Okay, I admit it! I'm a failure. I haven't cooked or baked anything even remotely interesting in over a month. I haven't taken any awesome pictures either. I've barely even had time to read my food blogs and pick out recipes. I have some excuses, though! I've been busy. Really busy. So incredibly busy... playing video games... But you can't blame me! I have the best husband in the world who got me a USB controller and downloaded and set up Super Nintendo emulators and ROMs on my computer. How could I not spend all of my free time playing Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire, Super Mario and Yoshi's Island? I know, I know. You're not all nerds like me. Just trust me. There was no way around it. I hope to start working on something new after the yom tovim...maybe after my sister's wedding in October?...maybe when the semester is over, k? Just bear with me. I'll be back eventually. Le` Bunny
