I try to do fish dinners every week. It’s a healthy alternative to meat and chicken and while fresh salmon, tilapia and trout are all on my recipe list I make it a point to use smoked fish as often as I can. Smoked fish is not just a dish, […]

Smoked Fish: Not Just For Brunch Anymore

January 3, 2021 in Appitizer / FISH / Recipes by Konfidentially Kosher

With the end of the year looming large I find I have several days of unscheduled time on my hands and nothing but the diabetes inducing holiday “chick flick” movies on the tube. Nothing is open because of “plague” and of course those lucky souls trapped ooops I mean quarantining […]

I asked my son what he thought about Hasselbacks and his response was, “that hairy old guy from the Bay Watch Movie?????” “No thanks, pass, that movie was terrible and wasn’t he in a really woman objectifying TV series a million years ago”. Seriously, I believe I gave birth to […]

Hasselback The Potato, Not the Actor……

December 20, 2020 in Appitizer / Recipes / VEGETABLE by Konfidentially Kosher

I am a HUGE Everything But the Bagel seasoning fan. Tasty, savory, crunchy, I literally put it on almost everything these days. (shameless plug, Trader Joes is, in my opinion, the best brand out there). I was culinary curious so I decide to search out the origin of the species. […]

DECEMBER 25TH AND THE JEWISH TRADITION OF EATING CHINESE FOOD

December 16, 2020 in Appitizer / dinner / Recipes by Konfidentially Kosher

I have never been what you call a traditionalist when it comes to Hanukkah. Yes, I will make potato pancakes, and, if forced, eat a soufganyot or 6 (please don’t judge me, they were small). However, when it comes to serving fried foods that I love nothing and I repeat […]

YES, ONION RINGS FOR HANUKKAH

December 8, 2020 in Appitizer / Recipes by Konfidentially Kosher

There are so many choices these days when it comes to “imitation” or dare I say it replacements for “regular” or “non-kosher” foods. Fake meat, fake milk, fake sugar, fake cheese, fake…… everything! Ok, keeping kosher does require some creative fancy dancing when converting meat recipes to pareve, dairy recipes […]

FAUX CRAB, YES PLEASE!

Is there anything more satisfying on a cold and rainy fall/winter/icky weather day than an ooey gooey grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of tomato soup into which you can dunk it??? While I know some may disagree with these choices of comfort food I stand by my choice of […]

For most people when they hear the words “fall” and “pumpkin” the default idea that pops up seems to be pumpkin pie. Me, not so much. I am soooooo not a fan of the pie but savory pumpkin recipes, yes please. I am all about doing fresh. Yes, using the canned stuff […]

Every year, a few days before Cinco de Mayo, I get a ton of emails asking for recipes to help create a culinary celebration. Contrary to popular belief this is NOT Mexican Independence Day but rather Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexico unbelievable victory over huge force of Napoleon III army […]
