It's going to be fall here in New York City and pumpkin spice will soon be seen EVERYWHERE. So, of course, I had to make a Non-Dairy Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream in my Ninja CREAMi Deluxe 11-in-1 Ice Cream Maker. You'll use real pumpkin puree for this, as well as almond milk (I prefer to keep it ...
Confused as to what the differences are between the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe 11-in-1 Ice Cream Maker? I was too. While I bought the Ninja CREAMi Breeze this summer and loved it, unfortunately, it broke a few weeks ago and I decided to upgrade to the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe 11-in-1 because I wanted more ...
If you read my Peach Sorbet recipe, you know I am obsessed with my new Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker and I whipped up a Mixed Berry Sorbet. While I am busy testing out recipes, this is one of my favorite sorbets. This one is pretty simple. You need mixed berries (I used a blend of frozen ...
'Member getting Italian Ices in hot summer weather? I saw OLIPOP Cherry Cola in the store recently and wondered, how can I make this in my Ninja CREAMi Deluxe 11-in-1 Ice Cream Maker? Could I make a Cherry Cola Italian Ice? I love cherry cola and was thrilled to see it in a healthier version with ...

When I was in Israel in 2017, we went out for dinner in Tel Aviv one night. I was Dr. Deborah Gilboa (https://askdoctorg.com/) and one of her kids and we had the most delicious roasted cauliflower with tahini. It was roasted in a clay oven and probably one of the best things I've ever eaten in my ...

Who loves chicken tenders? We do and making them in the air fryer is so much better. I love to use interesting spice blends (we all know my love of Za'atar) and I spiced these no breading chicken tenders with Green Goddess Seasoning from Trader Joe's. The Green Goddess Seasoning contains minced ...
My family loves breaded fish -- since I prefer to make most things in my air fryer, it was a natural move to start air frying it. But, while I was able to master breaded chicken, I had issues with air frying breaded flounder and other fish. It just seems to fall apart. I prefer air frying to ...
My father passed away this week. Avery Stephen Johnson always had a story, was brilliant and could also argue for days. He preferred to go by the name Stephen and always told us that his mother was confused after his birth and meant to name him Stephen Avery. Of course Avery is a cool, trendy name ...

I am my child's primary caregiver and I was trained by our Endocrinologist's office, but this no way qualifies me to give medical advice. If you have an issue with your child's Type 1 Diabetes care, please reach out to ...
We dropped my son at diabetes camp recently and while I've been to sleepaway camp for years and my daughter has also been at that sleepaway camp, diabetes camp is slightly different. It's still a sleepaway camp but it's a great place for children who have Type 1 Diabetes to go and still have that ...
If you love Israel or Middle Eastern food, chances are you're already a fan of Za'atar (you might spell it Zaatar) - which is a spice blend containing toasted sesame seeds, thyme, marjoram, coriander, oregano. Last week I picked up Trader Joe's Za'atar Seasoning Blend and loved it. I had some ...

This post contains affiliate links.I'm a huge fan of lentils, especially lentil soups. But since I adore my Instant Pot, could I adapt my favorite red lentil soup recipe for it?

This post contains affiliate links. As always, all opinions are my own. I love cooking for my family. Were upstate at my in-laws' house for the month of July and cooking for seven people wasn't easy. Eggplant Parmesan is something my family adores, but it's a lot of work. By using liquid egg ...
Updated January 2022. There are some pictures from our visit in December of 2019 and you wouldn't see anyone masked or distancing in those photos. After a really long fall and as winter started, I wanted to take a breather with my daughter and celebrate her 14th birthday. We were up at my ...
Recently my sister-in-law made this super amazing quinoa salad. I'm the first to admit that I'm not a fan of the superfood, but the way that L made it was absolutely wonderful. As in everyone enjoyed it, even my picky eaters. Why? Because it had cucumbers, feta, and tomatoes in it - and served cold, ...
This post contains affiliate links. Contrary to popular belief, making a turkey is always in style. My father, for no apparent reason will just whip up a turkey with all the trimmings on a whim. However, I just don't have the same inclination. Making things in my instant pot or air fryer has ...

I've posted about Korean BBQ (Barbecue) before -- my former neighbor Helen had taught me to make it ten years ago. While I don't always use my former neighbor's recipe for the Korean BBQ sauce (https://www.themamamaven.com/love-korean-bbq-korean-bbq-short-ribs-recipe-kalbi/), it remains ...
