Apricot Walnut Charoset

Mrs. Cox — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 11:04:48 +0000

Charoset, a relish of sorts, plays an important role during Passover, specifically during the seder. The charoset is used as a dip for the maror {the bitter herb} during the seder. The seder plate is rich with symbolism, including charoset. This mixture of fruit, wine, and nuts symbolizes the mortar and brick which the Jews [...]

Pineapple Coffee Chicken

Mrs. Cox — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 11:04:10 +0000

Passover is a big deal around here. The preparation can be daunting at times, but the experience is well-worth all the work. Plus, it’s another way to get creative in the kitchen. And you know, I’m all for that! One thing I have noticed is the lack of organic prepared goods that are kosher for [...]

Orange Cranberry Muffins

Mrs. Cox — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 22:43:53 +0000

Here’s another delicious muffin recipe to try! I took the muffin base from the Lemon Blueberry Muffin recipe and modified it for my Orange Cranberry Muffins. I made a batch Friday and they didn’t make it past the weekend. Great for breakfast or snacking, these dairy-free muffins will make you wish you made a double [...]

Lemon Blueberry Muffins

Mrs. Cox — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:59:52 +0000

In our produce order this week we received a container of plump organic blueberries. While Charlie would be perfectly content eating them as is, I was determined to bake muffins with them. Luckily for her, there was a Charlie sized handful left over just for her to nibble on. * TIP * With Valentine’s Day [...]

Chickpea Paneer Curry

Mrs. Cox — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 11:04:23 +0000

I decided to take a stab at making my own version of my favorite Amy’s Kitchen dinner. I would buy it every so often when I wanted to indulge in a spicy, hot lunch. But at about $6 a pop, my simple indulgence was losing its allure and my experimental nature took over. This recipe [...]

Vegetarian Chili

Mrs. Cox — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 05:10:59 +0000

Sometimes all I need is a hot bowl of spicy chili to wash the days’ troubles away. This vegetarian chili seems to warm the soul… I kept the garnishes simple. The cool, creaminess of the Greek yogurt does not take away from the chili’s bold flavors while adding a welcome touch of tang and a [...]

Sufganiyot aka Doughnuts

Mrs. Cox — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 11:04:37 +0000

When I was pregnant with Charlie I had a rather unfortunate craving for doughnuts. Thinking about it now, actually makes me nauseous. Fried in heavy vegetable oil, lathered with “maple” icing or stuffed with “cream”. Very unhealthy. During Chanukah I knew I’d be making doughnuts, but wanted to create a guilt-free {or at least less [...]

Sweet Potato Latkes

Mrs. Cox — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 11:04:36 +0000

In our home, latkes aren’t just for Chanukah. We had these on our Thanksgiving table {along with home-canned apple butter and dairy-free sour cream} and they were a huge hit. Especially with my nephews “B” and “T” whose tastebuds are honest and unfiltered. Actually, the boys are why I’m finally sharing this recipe. Sister #2 [...]

Mrs. Cox — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 00:51:36 +0000

A traditional treat served for Chanukah is Sufganiyot, jelly-filled doughnuts. I’ll be attempting my first batch of Sufganiyot later this week. But until then, these delicious cupcakes are making our taste buds quite happy. And they’re pretty, to boot! Star of David cupcake wrappers by Bella Cupcake Couture.
