Roasted Red Pepper Pesto – I give five forks

July 15, 2019 By Jittery Cook Leave a Comment

Roasted Red Pepper Pesto served on roasted zoodles in small black bowls with small black forks and colourful napkins on a white background.

This Roasted Red Pepper Pesto clamours for your attention. The condiment shakes up your taste buds, whether you serve it as sauce, dressing or dip. Did I dream up this recipe? No, I discovered it in Mareya Ibrahim‘s Eat like You Give a Fork, and I give it five (out of five) forks.

For all you fans of pasta, roasted veggies, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, arugula, fresh mozzarella, Parmesan and basil, this Rigatoni…

Carrot Squash Sweet Potato Soup – Mini Dill Matzo Balls

April 17, 2019 By Jittery Cook 8 Comments

Mini Dill Matzo Balls, cooked, ready to be frozen in a tupperware

One Bubbie made floaters and the other, sinkers. I was partial to the floaters — soft, billowy matzo balls that melted in your mouth. My cousin always joked about bouncing the sinkers along the narrow long Seder tables.   Add them to this Carrot Squash Sweet Potato Soup,  and you get a perfect meatless alternative…

Roasted Spaghetti Squash Pesto Pasta Bar ingredients cooked on white dishes on a wooden tray

Russian Borscht – Famous Dishes From Around The World

February 25, 2019 By Jittery Cook 6 Comments

Russian Borscht soup in a white bowl on a blue and white plate, on a white tray, with a beet green, kale, berry salad.

My paternal Zaide hailed from Russia, and my Bubbie made spectacular, melt in your mouth cabbage borscht. My mom’s beet borscht was the perfect combo of sweet and sour with flanken, cooked to perfection. What makes this version of Russian Borscht so appealing, in today’s health climate, is its pure vegetable goodness — a combination…
