Eggnog with cinnamon swirl in a crystal punch bowl

Authentic Eggnog

By Maureen Abood On December 23, 2020 · 2 Comments · In Christmas, Drinks, Gluten-Free, Winter, Your Favorites
The richness of this authentic eggnog recipe is lightened with a big puff of whipped meringue and whipped cream. You can go non-alcoholic, but the rum really does cut the richness. Authentic eggnog, rich and creamy and heavily spiked, has always for some reason seemed out of reach come Christmas and New Year’s at home. [...]

Glass mug of Irish coffee with cream on top

Irish Coffee

By Maureen Abood On March 13, 2020 · 6 Comments · In Drinks, Gluten-Free, Winter
Peggy’s Irish Coffee recipe is strong and bracing, with the flavors of the coffee and whiskey offset by sugar cubes and a thick layer of heavy cream. A Post Written by Peggy Abood Maureen and I have always felt a special kinship to Saint Patrick’s Day which must have originated with birth when our 100% [...]

Caprese salad on a blue platter

Caprese Salad with Pomegranate and Mint

By Maureen Abood On September 5, 2019 · 2 Comments · In Gluten-Free, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Salads, Summer, Vegetables, Vegetarian, Your Favorites
Caprese salad with pomegranate and mint is a flavor explosion. The pomegranate molasses, like balsamic vinegar, lends a sweet-tart note to ripe tomatoes. I figure it was because we had such a cold and unforgiving winter last year (polar vortex, lest we’ve forgotten), but when the leaves made a full appearance last spring, I felt [...]
