Shabbat Menu - Grilled Marinated London Broil

Even Manna get's boring. In this week’s parsha, the false memory of an Egyptian bounty of fish, cucumbers, watermelons, leeks, onions and garlic leads the people to beg for meat instead of manna. ...

Quick Pumpkin Peanut Butter Soup Recipe

This flavor lineup is unbeatable, and makes such a strong statement you have nothing more to do than to bring all ingredients to a boil, and blend. Be sure to use pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie mix or goodness knows what other processed calamity! You might even consider making it for Thanksgiving: If the raves I received for it at my last cooking demo are any indication, then yours will be a huge hit too!

I tried this recipe and it came out too watery, I would not make it again.

Hi Mickey, oyoyoy I feel so guilty I didn’t inform this site about the changes I made in this recipe: I totally agree with you, it was watery and needed more seasoning, so right after I posted it, I made the corrections and posted the revised recipe, but didn’t change it here until now. I really apologize!
Trust me: you WILL make it again now!
