Last year I planned pretty poorly for Passover meals. We had Matzo Lasagna twice which isn’t a bad thing but it showed how little I actually planned. It shouldn’t be that hard, right?

He really grasped on to the rules of kashrut (Jewish dietary laws –… Read More Feeding The Kosher Boy – Veggie and Cheese Enchiladas

Had to have it and had to have it tonight. Unfortunately, it’s not super quick to make but I made a commitment to my belly… Read More Pastitsio
