This recipe is my variation of one that came with my yogurt maker. It's easy to create Greek yogurt from this, too! Simply strain the yogurt in a colander lined with fine cheesecloth or coffee filters. Using kefir at the start creates a much more tart yogurt; it tastes a lot like sana from Europe. You can substitute plain yogurt with live active cultures for the kefir, if desired. Save 1/2 cup of yogurt to use as a starter, if desired. Eat yogurt within one week.

This apple, cranberry, and pear crisp topped with walnuts is a variation of a traditional apple crisp — we love it! Comice pears taste best with this recipe.
New Mom Broccoli Kugel
This broccoli kugel is quick, dairy-free, and a must at every event I host or attend. Based on the Jewish version of a crustless quiche (kugel), the casserole utilizes basic ingredients and is easy to put together before popping it into the oven. So easy, I could do it with a new baby in the house.
