Israeli Cucumber Salad with Yogurt
madinthekitchen:
The first time I had cucumber salad was at summer camp. I think it was part of the cooking class that made challah every summer.
I have not yet found a recipe that is exactly what I remember, because my memory of why I liked the camp Israeli cucumber salad is hazy. I remember yogurt, but not much of it, and I remember dill. But maybe there was no yogurt. Maybe it was just...
California Girl at Heart
madinthekitchen:
I love living in New York, there is an energy here unlike any other city I have visited, but I will always be a California girl at heart. Growing up fifteen minutes from the beach is more than I could ever ask for, and the weather in LA is pretty unbeatable. I do my best to take advantage of all that this amazing city has to offer and I really enjoy the changing of the...

French toast was the second dish I made for the engagement brunch at my apartment last weekend. I have had this a few times before, at my Aunt Betty’s when we have the whole mishpacha over (thats Hebrew for family, sometimes my Hebrew and Yiddish pop up when I least expect it) and at my step Aunts house on Christmas. It is such a warm comforting dish with its gooey bread-y...
Quarkaufläufe with Blackberry Sauce

(Blintze Souffle)
I mentioned that I had been busy preparing to host a party and that I have weddings on the brain, and they have actually been entwined trains of thought. Two of my dear friends got engaged before the holidays and I offered to host an engagement party at my apartment with the help of some of our other friends. Wedding talk was the topic between all us girl...
