Challah is a very straightforward bread to make. It is a simple dough that is enriched with eggs, oil and a small amount of honey for sweetness. This bread can be made from start to finish in the space of an afternoon.
Braiding Challah
The braiding is what makes a challah bread so impressive and it really is so easy to do. I include a link to a very helpful YouTube video that demonstrates how to do it. I recommend taking a couple of minutes watching this before attempting it. It will save you from overhandling your dough. The picture below is of my braided loaf before it was proofed.

While the chicken might be the heart of this one-pot meal, the kalamata olives and capers are it’s essence and flavor punch. An added bonus is that this one-pot mediterranean chicken is ready in just over a half an hour.
There is nothing better than the simplicity of a one-pot dinner, but I’m not always in the mood for scheduling my day around a slow-cooker or instant pot. This dish is one that doesn’t require upfront planning and you likely have everything you need in your refrigerator, freezer or pantry. While I use carrots you can just as easily use other vegetables like spinach or ar ..read more

This classic Tiramisu is with espresso soaked ladyfingers layered with a light and airy mascarpone cream, and dusted with cocoa powder to finish. This is a great make ahead dessert and I encourage you to try making your own mascarpone. See my post Homemade Mascarpone.
To get started, separate 6 eggs, and place 3 of the egg whites in one bowl, and 6 egg yolks in another.
Egg Whites – Add 3 tablespoons of sugar and whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. You’ll know the egg whites have reached stiff peaks when you pull a beater out of the mixture and a little peak sticks straight up ..read more
