I grew up in a family of seriously devoted seafood lovers. My mother always devoted a Sunday family dinner to each of our birthdays throughout the year. When that time of year came around, I was looking forward to my “birthday dinner” more than I was to any presents or bragging rights. And every year I pretty much asked for the same things. I wanted cheesy potato skins, caesar salad, and either ribs or crab legs....

If you aren’t familiar with St-Germain, let me introduce you to my favorite liqueur. St-Germain is a sweet French liqueur made from elderberry flowers. The unusual flavor is a bit of peach, pear, orange and grapefruit. The drink can be made as sweet or as savory as you like. If, like me, you prefer your drink a bit sweeter, add a little more sugar or St-Germain. If savory is more your style, start with the smaller amounts and taste before adding more sweetness to the drink....

That goes not just with the kids but Ziv too! Yup hubby can be a big baby when it comes to leaves. He has a mental allergy towards them. BUT, greens are a necessary evil for the body (that what mom used to say) So the only way I approach it is to make it less obvious....

A marinara sauce is one item that must always be in your freezer. I ALWAYS have a batch of this, tomato, and pizza sauce in my freezer. In fact, I begin to worry if my freezer runs out of it.
