Ok. Let's talk kugel.A kugel translates from Yiddish to any baked pudding in Eastern European Jewish culture.My favorite is a noodle kugel.

Beautiful Bundt by Stacey Snacks

This is one of the easiest and best bundt cakes I have ever made.It comes from the Food Librarian's blog and I followed her recipe exactly.I will make it all the time (well, not all the time, that might be a health hazard).The combination of cinnamon and chocolate is beautiful.

Candy Cake

Candy Cake by Stacey Snacks

What to do with all that leftover Halloween candy?I know I should THROW IT OUT, but I saw this funny recipe on Tastespotting, so figured, what's the harm?I used 1 cup of chopped candy (I had peanut M&M's and Reeses Peanut Butter cups), and made a simple vanilla cake.To chop the M&M's, place in a ziploc bag and with the back of a…

Greek Yogurt Stuffed Dates by Stacey Snacks

Comfort & Joy: Broccoli Mac 'n Cheese

Comfort & Joy: Broccoli Mac 'n Cheese by Stacey Snacks

What is your favorite comfort food?Mine, hands down, is macaroni & cheese.I rarely make it, because it's so fattening and I can't just have a small portion, so I just look at it longingly on other blogs.When I was in college, we would come home after a late night of partying and my roommate Maryellen would make up a batch of that…

Tortilla Espanola by Stacey Snacks

A tortilla is a simple Spanish omelet, usually served as part of tapas buffet or for lunch, cold on a sandwich. It is much like an Italian frittata, except you make a tortilla on the stove and with potatoes, as opposed to a frittata which is baked in the oven.I think I will get better at it with practice.Though the ingredients are…
