Holiday Recipes

Holiday baking for me always means cookies. While closer to Christmas, I like to bake gingerbread, sugar cookies and kołaczki, during the festival of lights, it’s all rugelach for me. For those of you who aren’t familiar with rugelach (or rugelah), they’re a cream-cheese based…

Ahoy, friends! Spring is in full blast here in New England, and since I’ve been hanging around my house a lot lately (as I imagine most of you have as well), I’ve been doing a lot of springtime cooking and baking. If you’ve been reading…

Oh, look, I’m finally posting Christmas things just a few days before Christmas. I’m the worst. Because my dad’s family is Polish, I grew up eating a lot of Polish foods, especially at Christmas time. These cookies are  a staple from my childhood. They’re called…
