Tasty Tuesday: Homage to The Non-Consumer’s Burritos

Are you wondering how they came out?

Tasty Tuesday: New Apple Cake

Posted on September 7, 2010 by

September is Apple Month around here. Apples become available around the very end of August, and we like to go apple picking at least once a year.

(Jewish holidays are determined by the Jewish calendar, which is different from the regular calendar.) Anyway, the point is that we tend to use a lot of apples around here in September, and I’ll be sharing several apple recipes over the next few weeks.

Next week I’ll share my grandmother’s Apple Cake, which is a slightly more European/Old School recipe. Today’s recipe is a bit sweeter, and the apples are cooked first which gives the cake a whole different type of taste.

Tasty Tuesday: Baked Apricot Chicken

Posted on August 31, 2010 by

I made the most delicious, and incredibly easy, chicken recipe the other day, and I feel compelled to share it.

One of the best parts of this recipe is that you can prepare it up to 24 hours in advance. So it’s perfect for busy days: just prepare it the night before, and then when the time comes all you have to do is stick it in the oven. Or, in my case, ask another household member to stick it in the oven. :-)
