Making maror for your Passover Seder is a cinch (even though it can be just a tad dangerous). Let me explain… While DIY maror is a lot of fun, be sure to proceed with caution. I make my maror in the food processor; danger can arise when you open the lid and the trapped horseradish

Creamy Onion Salad Dressing
Posted on December 1, 2009
This Creamy Onion Salad Dressing does have a bit of a zing to it, I admit. I like it though, as it’s somewhat warming during the cold winter spell we’re having. My younger son liked this gluten free dressing so much that he not only ate it on his salad last night, he drizzled it

This gluten free Ranch Dressing is super easy to make and dairy-free to boot. I will be using it quite a bit this summer for salads, dips and sandwiches.

Raw Tomato Sauce
Posted on August 15, 2008
Is your garden overflowing with tomatoes? Mine is. It’s a jungle out there. The zucchini plant is on the offensive, overtly attacking its neighbors in a battle for square footage while the tomatoes surreptitiously creep and cling to everything they can. At this point, they are huge sprawling bushes, heavy with fruit. The boys go
