I have read many arguments for eating less meat and more vegetables and I just can’t seem to get in the mood for it. It sounds so boring to be vegetarian like I would be subjected to the same boring dishes day in and day out. No variety and certainly no excitement. If a book could change my mind A Modern Way to Eat would be the book. I will kill the suspense and tell you it didn’t change my mind, and I served most of these dishes as sides, not the main course. This is the first vegetarian cookbook that had me thinking it might actually be more interesting, challenging and fun to cook without meat. I might even add in a few meatless Monday’s because of Anna Jones.

After knowing each other for 5 years, being married for 3.5 years, we have decided to adopt.
Rugelach cookie fillings
Every year I try some new cookies. I flip through half a dozen cookbooks and pick out something to try. This year I landed on rugelach. A traditional Jewish cookie that is frequently served around Hanukkah, which is conveniently happening right now.
I picked these because I love their cute crescent shape and the fact that you can fill them with just about anything.
