B”H I have so many friends who are now off of dairy products, and as Shavuot approaches, I figured I’d share with you a non-dairy cheesecake recipe, which is a big hit around here. This non-dairy cheesecake will fool anyone who loves the real deal, and satisfy even the pickiest eaters (me?). It is light and super delicious. Oh, and you make two at once — talk about efficiency! Freeze
B”H Last week I told you that I’ve been counting the Omer with my children and we have gotten into a very good routine. Read: other years, no matter my enthusiasm at the get go, at some point the whole thing fell apart and either I was the only one saying it, or the kids were saying it, and I wasn’t; or nobody except my husband was saying it. It’s
B”H Sefirat HaOmer or the Counting of the Omer… if you’ve been around here long enough, you know this is one mitzvah where I could improve. This year I didn’t rely on an app. Because, guess what, I was a genius at ignoring the app reminders to count the Omer. Genius. Plus, do I really want to increase my dependency on that phone!? (Don’t get me wrong, there are many
B”H After eight days of Passover celebrations, it’s tempting for me to get back into the swing of things, without even talking about Passover at all. After all, we’re done! Ha! But, as I started packing all my Passover paraphernalia in boxes, and shlepping them back into the garage (read: getting my house back to normal), I made a few mental notes of things that I’ve learned over the years,
B”H If you remember from a few years ago, I always try to bring in some fun to our Passover table. This year, I have a surprise for the kids which I found thanks to one of my favorite ladies out in the Jewish blogosphere (and you know her already), Dena from Chai & Home. Her new Passover Fake News place mats reminded me so much of one of our
B”H Hi all! Last Wednesday night I had the pleasure to attend a lecture by Dina Hurwitz at Houston’s ERJCC. Dina is a mother of seven, whose life turned upside down when her husband, Rabbi Yitzi Hurwitz, was diagnosed with ALS in 2013. ALS is a a rare progressive, neurodegenerative disease. Dina talked to us about what it has been like to see the love of her life in this “predicament,” (as
B”H Good morning, my friends! Let’s talk Mishloach Manot! As I told you yesterday, the last month has been a whirlwind between client work, a six day trip to New York with speaking engagements, and family time. (Btw, if you have not heard my interview with Bari Tessler… uff you must!) In the mean time… Purim is upon us. You know how I feel about the mishloach manot madness, as I told you
B”H Timeless Interiors…There are a few interiors that I can look again and again and always love… they are just so, so me! One of those is Ivanka Trump’s “starter apartment” in Manhattan featured way back in 2007 in In Style and in House & Garden (a magazine that is sadly now extinct). While I do like Ivanka’s apartment with Jared Kushner in the penthouse of the same building, featured
B”H I know I say this a LOT around here, but I can’t get enough of the amazingly inspiring, unique and beautiful Jewish women I’ve met in this blogging journey. Today, I have the pleasure of introducing fellow blogger Miri Nadler from Miri in the Village. Not only am I in love with Miri’s style – seriously go to her blog from some amazing eye candy, both in her interiors and in her
B”H Good Morning everyone! 2017! Wohooo!!! I’m so excited for this new calendar year! I’ve been low key and sort of absent even from social media because I was spending a LOT of time with my kids during winter break and once they returned to school on Wednesday, then I slowly started to get into things again. Today I have a super nice way to get started: my 9 year
