Dairy Desserts for Shavuos!

image

Gourmet Kosher Cooking has a fudge recipe for Shavuos, which is a fabulous idea, but I wanted to once again share my super-duper-easy-emergency fudge recipe in case you don’t have time for REAL fudge. 

Elisheva complains that mine tastes more like icing than fudge; make it a little thinner and it WOULD make an incredible icing. 

It is a bit more gritty than real fudge, but the trade-off is:  you can make it in about image20 seconds in a frying pan, so definitely worth a try.  My mother-in-law in Calgary taught me how to make this years ago.  Just be sure you use COOKED pudding and pie filling (doesn’t have to be Jello brand), not the instant stuff, which won’t work for this recipe.  Recipe here.

image My classics for Shavuos are sticky-sweet Indian Gulab Jamun (made with Bisquick – here’s one recipe),  plus my grandmother’s Neapolitan Cake.

On top of these, Ted always makes a cheesecake of some kind.  There are always too many desserts around here at Shavuos time – which is just the way I like it!

The trick is finding nice dairy meals to go along with the desserts.  Here’s last year’s Shavuous menu.  I’ll probably make many of the same things this year, except we’re out for both the lunches.

  1. You know, if there are just too many desserts, Mr. D and I could make a sacrifice and take some off your hands. Our waistlines would suffer, of course, but we're willing to put ourselves out there to help you!

It's Heart Month: 3 days left to save lives!

Dear Friends & Family: Hi, everybody! Sorry I can’t stop by in person... you're a bit out of my area.  :-) We’re out walking up and down on our street on this beautiful afternoon to raise money for Heart & Stroke.  This cause is important to me (I won't say it's close to my heart , because that would be tacky!).  I hope you'll join me by donating online. Growing up, I watched as every single one of my grandparents' lives were shortened by heart disease and strokes, and my father had a defibrillator that saved his life on more than one occasion.  Heart disease and stroke kill 1 in 3 Canadians and are the #1 killer of women. Please click this link to be redirected to my main page at the Heart & Stroke website: http://tinyurl.com/AtlasHeart Thus ends my personal appeal.  Official information follows.  :-))) ----- Heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer of women - taking more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined. But no one is immune. Th
