I have a confession to make. I’m not Jewish. But I do love Jewish foods like bagels, cream cheese and matzo ball soup. I’d never attempt to make bagels at home, since we have some of the best one’s in the world right here in Chicago. Same goes for corned beef sandwiches and brisket. But I’ve yet to find the perfect kugel recipe. So this weekend I decided to give it a try with the help of my kids.

Are you one of those people that puts some kind of sauce on every meal you eat? I know several people just like that, and the first that comes to my mind is my boyfriend. Even if the food is already perfectly seasoned or tasty as is, he’ll douse it with any sauce he can get his hands on. Barbecue sauce, sweet and sour, hot sauce, honey mustard, they’re all winners in his book. It can be really frustrating though because sometimes the sauce compromises the original flavor that was intended.

Nutella has spread (pun intended) all over the world, and has become so popular that there is actually a day devoted to it. In 2007, two American food bloggers in Italy created World Nutella Day. This year the holiday lands on Feb. 5. So here we are, three years later, continuing to celebrate the worldwide domination of Nutella. And why shouldn’t we? It’s creamy, chocolate-y and completely addictive.

You know those cake recipes that make a batter so delicious you’re lucky if it makes it to the pan? This is one of those recipes. I had to stop myself from sampling the batter contemplating whether or not I’d rather eat cake or the batter itself. But, luckily my sister in law kept us on task and we baked the batter and made cake. And not just any cake: super moist rich vanilla cake sealed with a crumbly yet soft egg white frosting. What makes this cake so special? There’s a secret ingredient…

I’ve been on a bit of a muffin kick lately. I love the portable-ness of muffins and how they stay nice and moist in their individually wrapped linings. It started when Trader Joe’s started promoting their pumpkin baking mix again. We all know I am sucker for this particular mix, so when it appeared on the shelves, I was thrilled to start baking with it again! Of course, they turned out beautifully with just the right amount of pumpkin and spice, plus my own special addition of chocolate chips.
But I could hear my mother in the back of my head saying, “A mix? Really? Is it so hard to throw together a muffin recipe?” Ok fine. I can do muffins from scratch too.
