My Cooking Style
My approach to cooking: quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing. I love to cook but don’t love making recipes involving 10 steps or 20 ingredients. I always make sure that everyone will have something that they like to eat at the table.
The freezer is my best friend! I like to cook in bulk (think 10 pounds of challah, 15 pounds of potato kugel, two months’ worth of chicken soup, etc.), so I always have what to take out of the freezer to make Fridays less busy.
How do you challah?
When I first got married and lived in Israel, I didn’t have a mixer or bread machine. I googled a recipe for handmade challah and have been using that recipe ever since. And yes, I still make it by hand!
I usually make most of the challos plain, but my kids like cinnamon/sugar challah, so sometimes I’ll make a few of those too. Coat each strand of challah with cooking spray and roll in mixture of cinnamon/sugar before braiding.
