Bananas Foster Pancakes
This recipe is a great use of overripe bananas. It also jazzes up plain pancakes. The first time I had Bananas Foster was in New Orleans. It was a delicious, buttery, sweet addition to vanilla ice cream. Then I had it over Belgium waffles with whipped cream. It was even better than the original. So […]

Passover Crack
This treat is a take on the Christmas Crack that my mother-in-law makes every Christmas. She uses saltines as the base, but I got inspired when thinking of recipes to use matzah for Passover. Simply substitute matzah for saltines, and you have a tasty treat for the Passover holiday. It’s called crack because you crack […]
