COTTONSEED OIL- FEH!!

Posted on March 22, 2005

We refuse to use cottonseed oil. Leaving out the excesses of the 60’s, we believe it to be one of the worst things you can put into your body. Yet, at Passover time, it is hard of late to find anything else on the market shelves. O sure, there’s walnut oil and olive oil, but Continue Reading »

HAMANTASCHEN

Posted on March 18, 2005

Our fave Hamantaschen are by Mollie B. But, truth be told, we never met a Hamantasch that we didn’t like. Big ones, little ones, fruit filled, chocolate filled- you name it, we like them. We eat them for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. We eat them on Shabbes, we eat them during the week. In Continue Reading »

PASSOVER HELP FOR DIABETICS

Posted on March 17, 2005

We are sure that there will be an update to this resource issued this year, but it still makes good sense to check out last year’s Passover guide for Jewish Diabetics. Check out: http://www.jewishdiabetes.org/PesachApril2004En.pdf We have seen better examples of writing, but it says what it has to say and presents it all in a Continue Reading »

CILANTRO LIME MAYO

Posted on March 16, 2005

We had a huge hankering for poached salmon the other day. It might have been due to finding this recipe in the current issue of Bon Appetit magazine. Anyway, we tried it; we really liked it! In a food processor, blend the following five ingredients until the leaves are finely chopped. 1 cup of packed Continue Reading »

HEINEKEN LIGHT

Sometimes the press releases we receive are so good, we just run them here for you. This one will bring cheer to many a heart! This one came disguised as an AP story. AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) — Heineken NV said Friday it will introduce a low-calorie, low-carbohydrate beer branded with the Heineken name in the Continue Reading »

BACKSBERG PINOTAGE WINE

Posted on March 11, 2005

BACKSBERG PINOTAGE WINE Last year, Kedem introduced kosher consumers to the first kosher Pinotage from South Africa’s Backsberg Winery. Backsberg had long been famous for its wine, but they had never tried a kosher product. Pinotage is a wonderful wine. In many circles, it is the hot wine of the moment. The grape is a Continue Reading »

LOOK- IT’S A BAGEL! NO- IT’S A PEACH!

Posted on March 10, 2005

This news is so new, we can honestly say it is not even breaking news……… (Roll sound effects…) It looks like a bagel, but it is actually a peach! Starting in early summer, 2006, look for Galaxy peaches in a market near you. This new, sort of flat peach was bred in California. It looks Continue Reading »
