Chocolate Filled Baked Doughnut Bites

“Sufganiot” is what we call Jelly Doughnuts in Hebrew and they are by far my favorite holiday food.

Fresh Homemade Rye Bread and Rye Buns

Sometimes all I really need is a good piece of bread. I know, it sounds too easy right? But it’s true. Sometimes I’d wonder around the kitchen looking for that something to eat, not a meal, just a little something – that’s when I turn to bread. Think about it, bread with butter – a […]
