If you need to know one thing about me, it’s that I was definitely Italian in another life. Even though the genetic testing I did confirmed what I already knew (99% Ashkenazi Jewish/Eastern European), it did tell me be I was 0.8% Sardinian, so I’ll …
Growing up in a Soviet Jewish family, there are a lot of traditional foods that I remember fondly. They were often tweaked recipes or a play on a traditional dish, which is probably where I get my need to tweak and play with recipes. However, …
If I’m being honest, this is one of the simplest, quickest, delicious healthy recipes you can make without feeling like a gluttonous monster afterwards. I never like to substitute health for flavor, so even if it may be good for me, I refuse to eat …
