I know Passover has come and gone, but I still have leftover matzoh. It never fails, no matter how much I buy, whether it’s one box or six, I always have at least a few pieces of the unleavened bread left on the shelf. And while it does make an okay cracker, if the… Continue reading Fried Matzoh
American As Apple Pie Grilled Cheese
As I mentioned in my previous post, The Grilled Cheese Invitational was May 24th and I, along with several hundred other Southern Californians decided to enter what I consider the best cooking competition ever created – a grilled cheese cookoff.

So, not… Continue reading Passover – A Family Tradition
