Mushroom, Thyme and Potato Galette
Here is a list of foods I don’t like truly despise: pineapple. Celery. White chocolate. (Is it chocolate? Is it plastic?) Banana anything. Mush…rooms? The truth is, I’m usually pretty decisive when it comes to foods I like- but I was never sure about mushrooms. Sometimes, they’re okay. Other times, they’re too earthy, and their rubbery texture…

Classic, Crispy Potato Latkes
Happy Chanukah everyone! Today, I’m sharing a recipe for classic potato latkes. These are the latkes my mom made when I was growing up and they’re the latkes I make for Chanukah today. When I was little, we’d sit at the kitchen table peeling pounds of potatoes while singing Chanukah songs together. Today, I’ll sometimes…
