The other day I was wheeling a cart around my local grocery store and noticed that all the Passover foods were out on the shelves in all their unleavened glory. How on earth is it time for Matzah already?? This Friday evening Passover begins once again – the time when matzah replaces the usual bread…

How To: Healthy Side – Shredded Brussels Sprout Salad with Feta, Dried Cranberries, and Cashews
I know I’ve created a good dish when my husband, after taking one bite looks at me and states “this is really good.” This coming from a man who thinks kraft dinner is the be all-end-all to mac and cheese (I may have mentioned his large stash on the blog before). So that is how…
