Red Snapper Fillets

This recipe for Red Snapper Fillets (from Kosher by Gloria) is as refreshing as it is tasty.  And, with the crunch and sweetness of the plantains, you’ll be sure to win over your guests. Don’t be fooled, this dish is terrific year-round except, serving during the week of Passover definitely diversifies your entree options. Also, the fact that the recipes doubles, triples, and quadruples easily makes it ideal for any occasion. Enjoy — and remember you can substitute the Red Snapper with other white flaky fish too (Halibut, Grouper, … [Read more...]

Passover: Chocolate Covered Matzoh

Chocolate Covered Matzoh is a family favorite. My kids truly enjoy helping make this sweet treat that lasts well past the 8 days of Passover.

Like many other dishes I’ve tackled, once in the kitchen and confronted with the … [Read more...]

Well, you can’t tell… Absolutely NOTHING in these brownies is sacrificed.  Not looks.  Not even taste. That’s right, another simple, easy, Passover dessert that plays nice with your taste buds. Don’t be afraid.  Even though the recipe calls for a whopping 5 eggs, and a hefty 2 1/2 cups of sugar, these brownies don’t taste like imposters. They’re still rich … [Read more...]
