I think this is my FIFTH time hosting the kcc and I assure you, it will be my most slapdash, despite the infinite and amazing potential of an Adar-themed carnival.
However, it would not be complete without a theme at all. Rather than reaching around to come up with one, which would take more than thirty seconds, I’m going to pick the most obvious: this month’s theme is… costumes! Specifically, pictures of me and my family in costumes that I can find in one quick Google search. Sort of like… the many faces of US. Enjoy!
general kosher cooking
Quick lazy-mama tip: Just throw a whole bunch of orange things on them and tell them they’re a BIG carrot!
Lady-Light presents Tikkun Olam: Don't Eat to Live, Part II posted at Tikkun Olam, saying, "Doesn't seem to relate to any category; it was suggested I post to KCC, so I am. Maybe the information can be used by someone."
Lady-Light presents Tikkun Olam: Dont' Eat, in Order to Live posted at Tikkun Olam, saying, "No category. Just info on what's happening to me, health wise"
Ester presents Chocolate Bread Recipe posted at Frugal and Kosher, saying, "I hope you don't mind my submitting one more! Thank you"
Nancy presents Meet My New Friend, Kohlrabi at My Kosher Kitchen @ COR, saying “I guess there is always reticence when it comes to experimenting.”
desserts
(yes, that’s me in a beard – my famous kohein gadol costume!!!)
Ester presents Simple Cake (that's not chocolate) posted at Frugal and Kosher.
From the “Cannot Believe It’s Pareve / I love coconut” department, here’s my take on decadent Pareve Chocolate Caramel Cookies for Shabbos over here at my bread and baking blog, Adventures in BreadLand, where I say, “they are a most delightful cookie that will probably wow your Shabbos table attendees.”
For the taste of cinnamon buns without the potchke of rolling them up, Gourmet Kosher Cooking presents Cinnamon Bun Bites. Yummy!
Here’s one from my “must try” list: yogurt-based chocolate mousse that looks utterly decadent! From The (horrifically named and I apologize because this is a word I never use) Shiksa Blog comes Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse, where she writes, “I had a deep, insatiable desire for chocolate mousse. Trouble is, it’s so terribly unhealthy… Then, an idea came to me– why not use Greek yogurt to make a healthier version of chocolate mousse?” Like I said – it’s on my list to try!
Naturally, like everything from the Our Shiputzim blog, you’ll want to drop everything to try this Freshly Baked Goods Friday: Applesauce Crumb Cake Edition posted by Mrs. S., who says, “Please stop by and taste the results.”
Finally, and I’m sorry to make this post soooo dessert-heavy (I just couldn’t find much else, and you people really need to submit more!), another one from my personal must-try list, Chocolate Peppermint Pudding Shots by Shoshana at Couldn’t be Parve. They’re not soy-based, they’re coconut-based, and righ tnow, I am all about the coconut.
kosher cooking lite
If you’ve never made Israeli salad, you should… and here’s just the recipe to inspire you, over at Gourmet Kosher Cooking in Israeli Salad.
anything kosher!
This is EC – now 17 – back when I could throw a brown shirt on and tell her she was a horsie (see “orange/carrot” note, above; dress them in black and you can tell them they’re a ninja… or green for a turtle!)
Ester presents Price Controlled Foods in Israel posted at Frugal and Kosher.
In case you’re keeping kosher but missing the taste of creamy, meaty pasta sauces, Nina Safar presents Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pasta at Kosher in the Kitch! Soy-based, and it calls for a cube of frozen Alfredo sauce from Dorot. We can buy their spices here, but don’t believe I’ve seen the alfredo sauce cubes… intriguing (and, apparently, pareve!).
economical use of left-overs
Sharon's Table presents Shredded Chicken | Sharon's Table posted at Sharon's Table, saying, "Please look through my site and let me know what you think."
Bamitbach by Irene Saiger presents a great way to use up leftover soup chicken with Chicken Taquitos, saying, “My mother used to serve the soup chicken as a main course… and my mother-in-law used it as filling for knishes or shepard’s pie. I decided to make Chicken Taquitos.”
everyday meals
Me and my sister Sara. She’s an angel and I’m… well, some sort of feline thing.
I (yay, me!) present Quick, Easy Corny Skillet Cornbread – with Recipe over at my bread blog, Adventures in BreadLand, saying (yup, I’m quoting myself again!) “This really is one of the few recipes that I’d never try without a cast-iron skillet.”
From Busy in Brooklyn by chanie comes a tasty treat we’ve actually tried here a few times with different seasonings… Smoked Paprika Popcorn Cauliflower. She says, “what I really loved most about [smoked paprika] popcorn, wasn’t the popcorn at all. It was the amazing smokiness of the paprika.” These surprising bursts of cauliflower capture all that and more. Or, for another yumm-licious take on cauliflower, why not try Roasted Cauliflower with Turmeric & Ginger from Kosher in the Kitch?

And now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a plane to catch… Happy Purim from me and mine to you and yours!!!
Chodesh Tov! Wonderful job. Thanks for including me in KCC.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteStrange that my name on the carnival is listed as JPiX? Must be because that darn blog carnival thinks I am JPiX (that's how I log in). Time to set up a different log in for that site.
Anyway, I'm Leora, not JPiX, and thank you again for the link.
Lovely collection, and great dessert selection, if only there were more days in a week :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for including my posts!
