A Little Mini Vacation to Cape Cod For a Reunion

Sometimes the little mini vacations aren't about seeing as many places as possible—they're about spending time with people you really enjoy. 

I just returned last night from a six-day car trip that included Westchester, NY, Boston, Massachusetts, and Cape Cod.

IN MY KITHEN -SEPTEMBER 2026

What’s in My Kitchen ?

September is a busy month in my kitchen because I’m getting ready for the Jewish New Year holiday, Rosh Hashanah and our celebrations. Right now I'm prepping in advance, and my kitchen is filled with holiday platters and ceremonial dishes, and my freezer is starting to fill up with food that I’m cooking ahead of time.

Easy Zucchini Lasagna - A Healthy Plant-Based Recipe

I promise this is my last zucchini recipe (for this month anyway).  I'm still on a zucchini kick, but since the zucchini at the farmer's stand is slowly coming to an end, so will my zucchini recipes.     .

 I've been experimenting with different ways to use it up. This time, I made a simple plant-based zucchini lasagna using slices of zucchini as my noodles with just four main ingredients: zucchini, marinara sauce, mushrooms, and tofu. (If you don't care for tofu and you eat dairy, substitute ricotta cheese).  

Easy Zucchini Breakfast Muffins - Just 4 Ingredients (vegan and gluten-free)

   

I've been craving muffins lately, and since I have plenty of zucchini on hand, I thought I'd try my hand at making zucchini oatmeal breakfast muffins. I'm have not baked for a long time, so I wanted something really simple—and this recipe couldn't be easier.
