It’s that time of year! I love Jewish traditions that revolve around food, and Purim has some of the most fun food traditions. Hamentashen are tri-cornered cookies filled with a sweet poppy seed or prune filling (the most traditional fillings), or jam, chocolate, or …
There is just something about baking with spices in colder weather, and one of my all-time spiced favorites is the gingersnap. The pungent ginger and warm cinnamon can comfort you on even the coldest winter evening. Or any other time …
