Reposting this from last year, since chometz is going out of style again soon. We start out Pesach with grand plans. We're feeling like royalty--dressed in our finest clothes, the table is set for a king and we even lean to drink our wine. And then, only a few hours into the holiday, the matzah, … Continue reading Pesach, Granoladox style
Grilled Cedar Salmon Burgers
With this glorious weather in Chicago this summer (we deserve it!) there's no sense in spending time in the kitchen. With the grill, I can cook Thursday night dinner and Shabbos dinner without ever entering the kitchen. And as for Shabbos lunch? Salmon burgers with miso dressing. You could grill these directly on the grates, … Continue reading Grilled Cedar Salmon Burgers
Easy summer salad
We found one lonesome radish in our garden. My kids were in charge of planting them, and one was all that was ready last week. Good thing it doesn't take much to make a summer salad, when so many farmers' market veggies are perfectly ripe.

Three cheers for gluten
It wasn't so long ago that hardly anyone had even heard of gluten. Now, "gluten free" is so common that it's become synonymous with healthy living. Stomach problems? Fatigue? Overweight? Headaches? Maybe gluten's at fault. I don't doubt that those suffering from celiac disease have a critical need to control their diets. I'm just skeptical … Continue reading Three cheers for gluten
Thai cabbage slaw
My whole house filled with the smell of roasted coconut when I made this salad. I closed my eyes and imagined I was smelling tanning lotion at a Pesach hotel instead of cooking in Chicago.
