Date & Hazelnut Bars: My Take on David Lebovitz's Fruitcake Bars

Earlier this month my friend Cindy gave me a container of dates. After doing a bit of a search for an easy recipe I found David Lebovitz's Fruitcake Bars Recipe. The recipe seemed easy enough, and really the only change I made was the type of nuts I used. David called for walnuts, almonds, or pecans, but I used a combination of hazelnuts, almonds and pecans and added zest of an orange!

What to do with a Tuna Steak: Not Your Average Tuna Salad (aka Big A** Salad)

Sometimes for dinner I make a salad. But it's not your typical salad of lettuce, a few slices of tomatoes and some dressing. That's boring in my opinion. Instead, I make what I call Big A** Salads. I hope you can figure out what that stands for.

My big a** salads typically have several vegetables, a variety of beans and something fun like olives and/or avocado.

This past week I made Not Your

Sweet Potatoes with Black Beans, Avocado & Feta: Recipe Inspired by The Kitchn

When I saw a recipe for Kale and Black Bean Tacos on The Kitchn, I thought it'd be a great one to make during the weekend and to have as leftovers for the week. But then I changed my mind...well, not entirely. I decided to keep the black beans, the sauce and the pumpkin seeds, but use spinach instead of kale and make it into a side dish instead of tacos. I also added feta!

That's just how my

Cheesy Mexican Corn Recipe: Great Side for Lunch or Dinner

I love Mexican corn, but it tends to be a bit messy. Not that there's anything wrong with messy. Sometimes, though, I want something simple and easy. Instead of making Mexican corn on the cob, I cut off the kernels to make this Cheesy Mexican Corn side. You can serve it as a side, a dish on its own or even as a dip.

Make it while the corn is still sweet.

Here's what I did:

1) purchase a fun picture frame

2) make inserts with "welcome to the world," "1 month"........... "11 months," and "1 Year!" written on them

Peachy Mango Salsa Recipe Inspired by Diamond Candles

What does Peachy Mango Salsa have to do with candles?? Well, there is a back story to this recipe.

Honey Apple Cake Perfect for Rosh Hashanah: Russian Recipe Revisited

This Wednesday is Rosh Hashanah: Jewish New Year. Although growing up in Russia I knew I was Jewish, religion wasn't a part of my life. When my family moved to the States when I was 13 years old, we went to a synagogue a few times, but it was hard for me to all of a sudden start believing in God.

Instead, I consider myself a cultural Jew: I ♥ Jewish traditions, most of the holidays {I stopped
