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
Channeling the inner caveman
The Paleo diet--a nutritional plan based on the presumed diet of Paleolithic humans--is all over the place lately. The idea is based on the premise that human genetics have scarcely changed since the dawn of agriculture, around 15,000 years ago, and that modern humans are still adapted to the diet of the Paleolithic period. Since I'm … Continue reading Channeling the inner caveman
Pesach, Granoladox style
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, matzah balls, brisket, potatoes and chocolate-eggy-sugary-potato-starch concoction settles in, and we feel like beached … Continue reading Pesach, Granoladox style
Roasted veggies for Yom Tov

‘Greated’ root vegetables
As if there aren't enough rules on Passover, I've added one more. This one, though, makes the holiday a lot more pleasurable (and digestible!): I won't make or eat anything on Pesach that I wouldn't enjoy eating during the rest of the year. That said, my plan for the next few weeks is to include … Continue reading ‘Greated’ root vegetables
KFP larabars
This blog has become somewhat of a family project, so it should have come as no surprise today when my 4-year-old whipped out the camera and offered to take pictures of me experimenting with kosher for Pesach larabars. As a busy working mama, any time I embark on a new endeavor, whether for myself or … Continue reading KFP larabars
