I have a good friend from law school who always thinks I am pulling her leg. Don't get me wrong - I am often pulling her leg - but if one thing is true in this world, I would never steer SLRH wrong. She knows that, of course, but it doesn't stop her from rolling through the entire extended potential aftermath of whatever I have just thrown at her, ... view more

How to: Microwave Bacon
One thing I don't love about cooking blogs is when the author gets too in-deep with the personal stories. Know what I mean?

Share those dishes in the comments! It's so fun to see ... view more

I'm not a huge coconut person, but coconut macaroons taste like Passover to ... view more
Matza Lasagna
Love this. A simple Passover-friendly version of a classic comfort dish. This recipe uses matza instead of noodles in a layered lasagna. What? Yep, no joke. With a brief soak in water and bake in the oven, matza substitutes for noodles, and you get your doughy fix for the week. I have not tested this recipe on kids, but I bet it ... view more
