a modern way to eat review

a modern way to eat by Anna Jones

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.

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.
