Pulled Brisket-Topped Latkes
Yield: |
I would like to say that this is the first time I have combined brisket and latkes into one recipe, but I would be lying. I just love finding ways to use brisket, like the brisket latkes I created last year and one of my newer creations: brisket-stuffed cabbage.
Like so many great recipes, this one was created by accident. At a Hanukkah party several years ago I served potato latkes, pulled brisket and some homemade challah rolls. Pretty soon my friends ditched the rolls and started topping their latkes with the brisket. And a new star was born.
If you are asking yourself, "can I use my family's beloved brisket recipe for this?" The answer is absolutely. As long as the recipe calls for a significant amount of liquid so that it has a bit of sauce to it, whatever recipe you fancy will work great.
You don't have to stop with brisket as a topping for your latkes. You can make a "top your own latke" party this Hanukkah season, serving up grilled pastrami, pulled brisket, caramelized onions or any other fun topping you like. Watch as your guests get creative with their latkes. You can also shake it up by adding some sweet potato latkes or parsnip latkes into the mix.

For the brisket:
2-3 lb brisket
1 Tbsp salt
½ Tbsp freshly grated black pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried parsley
3-4 Tbsp olive oil
1 can beer
1 can ginger ale
1 bottle red wine
4 oz tomato paste
4 medium carrots, cut into medium size pieces
2 onions, cut into quarters
For the latkes:
12 medium-large Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
4 small onions, or 1 medium-large onion, cut into large chunks
4 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole
¾ -1 cup flour
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 ½ Tbsp salt
½ Tbsp pepper
Vegetable oil for frying
To make the brisket:
In a small bowl combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and parsley. Spread dry rub on both sides of brisket evenly. Preheat the oven to 300F degrees.
Heat the olive oil in a large dutch oven or pot on medium high heat. Sear the brisket on both sides "until the smoke detector goes off." Remove meat and set aside.
Using the remaining oil and "good bits" on the bottom of the pan, sauté carrots and onions, scraping the bottom until the veggies are soft, about 8-10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir until thoroughly mixed.
Put the brisket back in the pan, and cover with the bottle of red wine, beer and ginger ale. Place the entire pot with brisket into the oven, and cook for at least 3-4 hours, until meat is completely tender.
When the meat is fork tender, remove the meat and set aside on a large cutting board.
Let the sludge rise to the top of the pot liquid and skim it off. Strain out the carrots and onions and using a food processor, blend them with 1-2 cups of the cooking liquid, then return the blended mixture to the rest of the liquid and simmer to reduce slightly.
On the cutting board using two forks, carefully shred the brisket into small strands. Add 1-2 cups of the pureed cooking liquid to the pulled brisket for additional moisture and flavor.
Serve in a large bowl and allow guests to top latkes, or spoon small amounts of brisket on each latke for a more elegant presentation.
To make the latkes:
Using the shredding attachment of a food processor or a hand grater, coarsely great potatoes, onions and garlic. Place in a large bowl.
Add flour, eggs, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until completely combined. Allow to sit 5-10 minutes. Drain excess liquid.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Using your hands, make a small latke patty and squeeze out excess liquid again. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from pan and place on wire cooling rack placed on a baking sheet, which you can place in a warm oven until ready to serve.

Homemade Almond Milk Smoothie
I recently started my second round with a diet/food-cleanse called Whole 30, in which you eat nothing but unprocessed, unrefined, sugar-free food, while also cutting out entire food groups such as dairy, soy, and grains (oh and booze too). I am sure to many it sounds a bit crazy, but I will share that throughout the 30 days I woke up easier and stayed awake throughout the day, my body felt physically and mentally alive in a way it had not in years past and I felt stronger when I worked out.
Cutting out dairy, sugar, grains and booze? Ok, I could do it. But I could never do without my coffee, which thankfully you are allowed. In order to enjoy my one permitted cup of coffee, I needed to make my own almond milk since almost all sold in stores contain added sugar. I also wanted to find a natural way to sweeten the almond milk to make my coffee a little more enjoyable. So I added 1 medjool date when making the almond milk for the sweetness I craved with my coffee, but without any sugar.
I have come to love making my own almond milk so much that I do it even when I am not on the diet. There is something gratifying about knowing exactly what is in your food and drink. If you are going to try your hand at this I highly recommend buying a nut milk bag, but if you have a cheesecloth available that will work fine.
Homemade almond milk is for more than just crazy diets: it is great for baking, especially when making nondairy desserts, for making smoothies, in your cereal or oatmeal or just drinking too.

For the almond milk:
1 cup raw almonds
3 cups water
1 pitted medjool date
pinch of cinnamon
pinch of salt
For the vanilla banana smoothie:
1 ¼ cup home made almond milk
1 ½ frozen banana
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp honey
To make the almond milk:
Soak the almonds in 3 cups of water for 12-24 hours. Drain the water from the almonds.
Place the almonds, 3 cups of water, the date, cinnamon and salt in a blender. Start on a low speed and quickly accelerate to high speed until all the nuts are completely pulverized. Pour the nut milk into the bag to strain.
Tip: Don't waste the almond meal left after straining the liquid. Save it and dehydrate it. It becomes perfect almond flour.
To make the smoothie:
Place almond milk, frozen banana, cinnamon, vanilla and honey in the blender and pulse until smooth. Sprinkle some cinnamon or unsweetened cocoa powder on top.

Mashed Potato Burekas
Yield: |
Burekas are one of my favorite Israeli treats, and they are the perfect way to use up leftover mashed potatoes from your Thanksgiving dinner. This recipe is as easy and delicious as it gets – the best kind of recipe when you need a pick-me-up from all that Black Friday shopping. These are also fantastic during Shabbat dinner to serve with a salad course. You can even serve them with leftover gravy for a delicious dipping sauce.
I used a pareve (nondairy) phyllo dough in this recipe for ease, but you are welcome to make your favorite bureka dough if you prefer. You can also switch up the fillings with whatever leftovers you have on hand: turkey and cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and even stuffing all make fantastic fillings.
Love Jewish food? Sign up for our weekly Nosher recipe newsletter!
1 package phyllo dough, defrosted
leftover mashed potatoes
1 egg + 1 Tbsp water
dried thyme
freshly ground black pepper
leftover gravy for dipping
Preheat oven to 350°.
Beat the egg with 1 Tbsp of water. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick cooking pad.
Roll out phyllo dough carefully to prevent splitting. I like to divide the layers of the phyllo in half so I can get four sheets instead of two. If the layers seem too brittle and dry, brush with vegetable oil. Working quickly, cut each sheet horizontally into 4 strips.
Lightly brush a strip with the egg wash. Place a scant teaspoon of mashed potatoes at the right end of the strip and fold the right bottom corner up and to the left to create a triangle shape. Continue wrapping the triangle into the remaining strip, being careful to preserve the triangle shape. Seal the end with egg wash if necessary and place end down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining strips.
Lightly brush the tops of the burekas with egg wash and sprinkle with dried thyme and freshly ground black pepper.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with warmed leftover gravy.

Jeweled Veggie Orzo with Wheatberries
Yield: |
Oh, how I love pasta. Almost all of my favorite comfort foods involve pasta: egg noodles with cottage cheese (a childhood favorite); any kind of gnocchi smothered in just about any kind of sauce; and my pregnancy comfort food, spaghetti with butter and Parmesan.
But I have been trying to cut back on my pasta recently, adding in bulgur and even zucchini noodles as an alternate.
For Thanksgiving though I really wanted to create (and eat) an orzo side dish. Orzo somehow seems like a compromise of carb: it looks like rice, but it's actually pasta. And to make it a little healthier than just some plain old pasta, I added some hearty wheatberries, an array of colorful vegetables and even some vitamin-rich pumpkin seeds into the mix.
The result is a scrumptious and satisfying side dish that can also serve as an entree for any vegetarian guests. Want to add some more protein into the mix? Add 1/2 cup cooked lentils or small white beans and you have a complete dish.
If you can't find purple carrots at your local market, you can use a roasted beet instead to achieve the same color and texture. I also love this dish because you can prepare it a day ahead and either serve room temperature, or heat it back up to serve.
Love Jewish food? Sign up for our weekly Nosher recipe newsletter!
1 cup dry orzo pasta
1/2 cup wheatberries
1/2 medium butternut squash
2 purple carrots or 1 large beet
1/4 cup cooked peas (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup homemade or store-bought pepitas (you can also use slivered almonds or sunflower seeds)
olive oil
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Peel butternut squash and carrots. Dice each into 1/2 inch cubes. Place butternut squash and carrots, separately, on a baking sheet, drizzle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, tossing once, until carmelized.
Note: if replacing the carrot with beet, wash the beet gently and place in tin foil. Roast in oven at 400 degrees for around 45 minutes or until soft. Allow to cool and remove skin. Once beet has cooled, dice into 1/2 inch cubes.
While vegetables are roasting, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook orzo around 11 minutes and drain. Drizzle with olive oil and place in a large bowl.
Cook wheatberries according to directions on package. (For 1/2 cup wheatberries, you will need around 1 cup of water. Bring water to a boil and then simmer covered for around 15 minutes).
In the large bowl with orzo, add cooked butternut squash, carrots (or beets), peas, wheatberries, cranberries, pepitas and another 1 Tbsp olive oil. Mix thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve room temperature or warm.

Wine Pairings for Thanksgiving
Hopefully you are just about ready for a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration. I can picture the family around the table, reflecting on the year and soaking up the aroma of freshly carved turkey. Just remember, when you're looking for the perfect Thanksgiving wine pairings, there's more to consider than just the bird. I know it can seem confusing or even scary to pick the perfect wine for your celebration, or really any wine, but I hope to make that part a little bit easier with some great kosher wine suggestions.
As The Day Gets Going
When the kitchen starts to come alive with the buzz of Thanksgiving morning, nothing puts me in the holiday spirit more than an ice cold glass of Chardonnay. This year, I'd recommend the Odem Mountain Volcanic Chardonnay 2012. It's a dry white wine that won't give you a sugar rush too early in the day. The slow and cold 5 month fermentation process leaves this wine with a delightful golden color and an aromatic nose. In plain terms, this chardonnay is refreshing, crisp and is a delight to sip.
While You Are Snacking On The Stuffing
Nothing says "get this party started" quite like a bottle of Brut. Gilgal Brut is a 50-50 mix of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and it presents floral apple and pear notes. While it is fresh and invigorating, it's bright acidity pairs excellently with the sausage and chestnuts I put in my stuffing muffins.
But What About My Turkey?
You'd think that pairing turkey with a white wine was a no-brainer. Nope. Wine Folly has written the perfect definitive guide to pairing wine with poultry and you have more to choose from than you would have thought. You won't go wrong with Carmel's Kayoumi White Riesling 2012, rated 90 points by Daniel Rogev. This is an impressive wine with a slight sweetness and a delightful color. I'd also recommend Pacifica Pinot Noir 2010 for it's balanced acidity and generous fruity flavor. Not only with the Pinot Noir pair with the turkey, it's the perfect match for many of the flavors of the day.
Something With The Side Dishes
Your Thanksgiving table will be complimented by attention to detail, so think about the perfect wine for your side dishes too. Ramon Cardova Garnacha 2011 is a Spanish wine with a unique character that comes to life when paired with fall favorites like mushrooms and butternut. Similarly, Covenant Red C Sauvignon Blanc 2013 would compliments grains like rice and quinoa, wild mushrooms or green bean casserole. Now that I think of it, Goose Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2013 is an equally impressive choice to par with your Thanksgiving side dishes.
And For Dessert…
Thanksgiving desserts lean nicely toward being paired with a full bodied glass of port. If Pecan Pie is on your menu, you deserve a bottle of Shiloh Fort. This is an intensely purple dessert wine with a massively full body. It's sweetness is married to notes of raisin and caramel so it's well balanced sweetness is great with rich dessert.
Psagot Prat is another port style wine that I admire greatly. After being aged in the warmth of the Mediterranean sun, this wine has a sweet fig-like aroma that can cut through the subtle flavors and creamy textures of homemade pumpkin pie. This is a dessert wine that screams of decadence. This would be my choice with pumpkin pie.
When The Day Is Still Young
As the day draws to a close and your guests move to the couch, some might move on to scotch or brandy but this is when I like open a bottle of one of my favorite wines. Ella Valley EverRed. This is a delicious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Syrah perfect for any occasion. The grapes for this wine are harvested by night and the wine is aged in French oak. On a personal note, this is one of the first bottles that taught me to explore and discover the wonderful world of wine. It really is a personal favorite so light a log fire and pour yourself a well-earned glass. The dishes can wait till tomorrow.

Thanksgiving Chutney Three Ways
This Thanksgiving, I'm adding an array of chutneys to my holiday spread as a way to jazz up the traditional meal with simmered combinations of fruits or veggies. Chutneys are the perfect accompaniment to long roasted, rich turkey or braised meats because their vinegary bases help to balance the fat of heavier proteins and side dishes.
This selection of chutneys cover a range of flavors to please any palate. With that in mind, I simmered one sweet, one savory and one spicy condiment. They make use of seasonal ingredients and readily available herbs and spices. Best of all, they come together in one pot and with little fuss. And each of these combinations will be tastier and more nuanced when prepared in advance.
Sweet Cranberry and Cherry Chutney
This chutney hints at Thanksgiving tradition with ruby red cranberries, nuts and dried fruit. It is believed that cranberries were served at the first Thanksgiving in 1621.
Serve this Cranberry and Cherry Chutney alongside roasted meat, turkey or chicken. Add a few tablespoons to mayonnaise and use as a spread on lightly toasted challah for turkey sandwiches with leftovers from your feast. Or place this chutney in a small serving dish alongside creamy, mild cheeses as a sweet element on a cheese plate.
Note: This chutney has a very strong vinegar odor when it's simmering. The first time I made this, I was alarmed by the strength of the vinegary presence. After it's cooked, cooled and refrigerated, the vinegar- sugar- honey combination settles into a perfectly balanced, slightly sweet condiment for your holiday meal.
2 cups dried tart cherries
½ cup sugar
3 Tbsp honey
½ cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup fresh cranberries (rinsed)
1 Tbsp lemon zest
½ cup finely chopped celery
1 cup raisins or currants
1 cup toasted chopped walnuts
6 Tbsp water (or a little more if the pan appears too dry)
Combine all ingredients in a 2 quart. saucepan over medium heat. Cook 20-25 minutes, stirring well.
Cranberries should burst open. The texture should be slightly sticky and chunky, with little liquid remaining after the simmer. Chutney will continue to thicken as it cools.
Cover and refrigerate for up to one week. Serve at room temperature.
Savory Cauliflower and Lentil Chutney
This vegetable and legume based chutney doesn't include any added sweetness, making it a welcome savory addition to a holiday meal that tends to include lots of sweet flavors. It's warm spices and toasted undertones provide unexpected flavors next to traditional dishes like sweet or mashed potatoes. This dish could easily be the star dish for vegetarians at your table.
Serve alongside turkey leftovers or as a condiment with pan-seared fish. If using this as a main dish for vegetarians at your Thanksgiving table, be sure to make stuffing without chicken or turkey broth so that they may enjoy stuffing with this savory chutney.
¼ cup good olive oil
1 large red onion, finely diced
1 large shallot, finely diced
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 tsp ras- el- hanout*
½ tsp mustard powder
1 cup dry red lentils
1 cup dry white wine
4 cups cauliflower florets, small pieces
1 ½ cups canned diced tomatoes
½ cup water
salt and pepper to taste
½ tsp paprika
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves- minced
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
*Middle Eastern spice mix found at well stocked markets like Whole Foods or at online on Amazon
Heat oil and add onion, shallot and ginger until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Add ras-el-hanout and mustard powder and stir, cooking one minute.
Rinse and examine lentils for particles of debris. Remove if found. Add lentils and wine to onion and spice mixture. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer. Cover pot and cook 10 minutes.
Add cauliflower, tomatoes, water, salt and pepper and paprika.
Cover and cook over medium heat, covered, for 20-25 minutes until lentils and cauliflower are tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally. Add ¼- ½ cup more water if chutney appears dry.
Cool mixture and stir in lime juice and cilantro. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
May be refrigerated for up to one week in airtight container. Serve at room temperature.
¼ cup olive oil
3-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 medium red onion, chopped
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp coriander
⅛ tsp each, salt and pepper
½-1 jalapeno pepper, seeds and veins removed and finely chopped (do not touch eyes or mouth when handling this pepper)
½ tsp cinnamon
⅛ tsp cayenne
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsplight brown sugar
4 fresh tomatoes, chopped
1 cup canned diced tomatoes
2 Tb. apple cider vinegar
2 Tb. dark raisins
1 Tb. fresh cilantro, chopped
1 Tb. basil leaves, chopped
1 lime- juiced
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add the garlic, ginger, shallots, onion and cook until softened.
Add turmeric, cumin, coriander, jalapeno, salt and pepper, cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.
Add the honey, brown sugar and raisins and cook for 2-3 minutes until caramelized.
Stir in fresh and canned tomatoes and vinegar. Simmer for 40-45 minutes in uncovered pot. Add a bit of water if mixture appears too dry. Texture should be jammy.
Remove from heat and stir in cilantro, basil and lime juice. Taste to season with additional cayenne, salt or pepper.
Cool and place in sealed glass container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve at room temperature.
I suggest serving this chutney alongside turkey or roasted chicken. It's super as a spread on a brisket sandwich or serve alongside guacamole with toasted pita chips. Consider using this spicy tomato chutney swirled into a half cup of extra virgin olive oil as a sauce over your favorite pasta.

Butternut Squash and Sage Challah
Butternut squash and sage are one of my favorite flavor pairings. It makes a wonderful soup, and who doesn't want to smother butternut squash filled pasta in a sage butter sauce? I do, and I would happily eat it for breakfast.
Pumpkin challah I have made and conquered, and I have even seen recipes for sweet potato challah. Still, I wanted to try my hand at using butternut squash, which is why I was thrilled to write a guest post for my friend and fellow blogger Melinda of Kitchen-Tested based on this idea.
Let me assure you: the result was fantastic. The butternut squash blended incredibly well into the challah dough and the color was just so pretty: a subtle orange flecked with tiny bits of fresh sage.
If you are looking for something uniquely Jewish to add to your Thanksgiving table this challah is definitely the thing.

The Turkey Round-Up
The first time I made a turkey was actually for Passover, not Thanksgiving. Truth be told, I didn't really know what I was doing, but got lucky enough that my turkey came out well. I marinated the turkey overnight in a mixture of fresh oranges, lemons, herbs and pomegranate juice. I googled how long to cook the turkey, and somehow, it came out juicy. I was also lucky to have someone at the dinner who knew how to carve a turkey, because I certainly did not. In fact I still don't know how to carve a turkey.
Thankfully (get it – thankfully!?), my family takes care of roasting the turkey, and I just show up with dessert and a side dish. But for all you folks out there prepping to roast a turkey next week, we wanted to pull together some of the best tips, tricks and recipe ideas the internet has to offer in order to make your turkey roasting a little easier and a little more delicious.
Are you trying to figure out how much turkey to buy for your guests? How long to roast it? What's the difference between fresh or frozen? Then check out 20 Thanksgiving cooking Dilemmas Solved from Thanksgiving.com.
Have you decided that brining is the way you want to go to ensure a moist and flavorful turkey? Then check out Food and Wine's 5 Best Brines for Thanksgiving Turkey.
How do I thaw a turkey? What equipment will I need to roast? These questions answered and more from The Kitchn's How to Cook a Thanksgiving Turkey: The Simplest, Easiest Way.
Need some carving tips? Here's a tutorial in How to Carve a Turkey from Pop Sugar.
No butter? No problem! I realize many turkey recipes call for butter, which can be frustrating when looking for cooking inspiration. But I have found replacing olive oil with butter works just fine in almost all poultry recipes, so peruse all the non-kosher recipes you like for inspiration, and then just swap out the butter for olive oil instead.

Mushroom, Onion, and Challah-Stuffed Acorn Squash
Thanksgiving is one of my family's favorite holidays. Besides Passover, it is one of the only times we all come together during the year and so my mother and I get pretty excited about planning; we spend months working on the perfect place cards, décor, side dishes and desserts. We went all out for Thanksgivukkah last year creating this recipe for sweet potato latkes with toasted marshmallows.
This year we are very much in the midst of menu planning, and can't wait to make this new dish for challah stuffing stuffed acorn squash, made with classic Thanksgiving flavors like squash, dried cranberries, thyme and even pecans.
This dish has a great "wow factor" due to its eye-catching presentation but is quite simple to make. You can even make it ahead of time to save time the day of Thanksgiving. This dish also serves as a great vegetarian entree for your guests.

4 acorn squashes
½ leftover challah loaf (about 2 cups cubed)
1 yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces white mushrooms, chopped
2 tsp dried thyme
2 Tbsp soy sauce
½ cup toasted pecans, chopped
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup to 3/4 cup vegetable or chicken broth, as needed
Salt & pepper to taste
Olive oil
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and set aside.
Cut challah into ½ inch cubes and place on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and use your hands to toss the challah pieces and distribute the oil evenly. Toast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, tossing once halfway through. Set the toasted challah cubes aside.
Cut 3/4 inch off the top of each acorn squash and carefully scoop out the seeds and strings of each squash. Cut a sliver off the bottom of each squash and place them on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, generously season with salt and pepper, and replace the top of each squash, leaving room for steam to escape. Bake for 40 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-heat heat and sauté the diced onion until translucent. Add the mushrooms and thyme, stirring until the mushrooms brown. Add garlic.
Once no liquid is left in the pan, deglaze the pan with soy sauce. Add cranberries, pecans, challah and vegetable broth, stirring until the vegetable broth is absorbed and the mixture starts to come together. You can add additional broth if the mixture is too dry to come together. Add salt and pepper as needed.
Stuff the squash with the challah mixture until slightly mounded. Place the top of each squash next to its body. Bake the squash and stuffing for 25-30 minutes, until the stuffing is lightly browned and the flesh of the squash can be pierced easily with a fork. Place the top of each squash on top of the stuffing to serve.

Recipe by cjcuppycake

2 small skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 1/2 tablespoons goat cheese
1 pinch dried parsley
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch dried thyme
1 pinch dried oregano
1 pinch salt
Tried this twice and both times my family and I ate it up. I used a soft, fresh goat cheese (caprino) both times. The first time I made it with skinless thighs with a 1/2 cup of white wine in the pan to help with keeping it moist. In fact it created a "sauce" that was delicious and a pity to toss out (which I didn't). I should have added some potatoes. I did add some other herbs because my goat cheese had them on top. The second time I made it just as the directions state and preferred the first way as it was a bit juicier. But nonetheless the goat cheese stays put on the chicken and even leaves a crust on the chicken. I was afraid it would melt and slide off but it didn't, it hung on like a trooper. The first batch my cheese was at room temp and the second time it was cold. It had no affect on the outcome at all. My kids liked it so much they literally licked their forks to get the last of the cheese. Definitely a keeper! Thanks for sharing.
Lunchtime, I'm hungry and have no plan except I have some plain chicken breast tenders I made last night alongside dinner for lunch the next couple of days. Saw I had some goat cheese to get rid of, so I put chicken breast and goat cheese into the search tool and came up with your recipe. I reheated my chicken in a 20 ounce ceramic bakeware dish at 350F, mixed the goat cheese with garlic and chili powder, and sliced 1/4 of an avocado. Topped the warm chicken with avocado slices and goat cheese mixture and popped it back in the oven to heat through. Came out PERFECT. No presentation issues, either, this is guest servable IMO. Thanks for sharing!
5 Ratings
5 stars for flavor but the visual presentation was dull. I followed the recipe exactly and ended up putting the chicken under the broiler for a few minutes to brown. I would recommend a slice or two of roma tomato under the goat cheese, or diced tomato/bruschetta on top, to add color. Very tasty!

My obsession now is the Confederate Soldiers of Randolph County, Georgia, USA. Some are marked with a government marker, those you know were in the war, then there are those that have a family marker, these you don't know unless found in the MSR. (military service records) There are some buried here that have no marker. These I'm working on to get marked. I've lived here all 72 years & I'm having a great time. If you have a veteran, any war, buried here, I need their names, what war, where buried. I'm Flo Merritt Young of Shellman, Ga., Randolph County.

Elusive Grave of Lewis Griffin Roper
If you ever find anything on the subject I would be forever grateful to know it.
The subject, Lewis Griffin Roper is my GG Grandfather. He died 27 May 1847 from a fractured skull. He was struck by a slave with a hoe. His plantation was north west from Shellman, GA. On land lots 153 and 154.
I don't know if he was buried in a cemetery or on his plantation.
I thought you might be looking around in that area of Randolph County.

Benevolence Baptist Church
I see 2 Benevolence Baptist Church cemeteries listed in Randolph county, both of which you have photographed. I found one on Wards Mill Rd, but I don't find the 2nd. The notes on it say Cuthbert-Trotman Road, but I don't find any such road on any map, can you tell me where that is?

Photo permission
Just wanted to say thanks for the memorials of John Summerford and his wife Nancy Helton in Parrot Cemetery. Not only was it nice to find out where they were buried, but I also didn't know he was CSA. I was wondering if I might have your permission to use the beautiful photos you posted on their memorials in our family tree. I generally keep my tree private, but from time to time I do share with family. I always include credits along with the photo, and also include the memorial number in a separate category so its easier to find for the less experienced members of our family. Thank you so much for your hard work. Our family is very appreciative.

Thank you so much for all the wonderful work you have been doing and for making the connections to other memorials of the Bius family in Randolph Co. These are all my direct ancestors. I greatly appreciate everything that you have done. It helps so much to have connections of family to each other so others will also know the linage. Thank you again.

Two Latino teens, born in the United States and legal citizens were forcibly "deported" to Mexico against their will. Apparently, Mario, 17 and Ricardo, 16 (last names held because they were minors at the time of the proceedings) were both detained by agents while crossing the US/Mexico border who then proceeded to rip up the boys birth certificates.
Yulkendy Valdez's story is truly inspiring! The 14-year-old spelling champ spoke no English when she immigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic with her family just four years ago. Since then, she not only mastered the language, but also began acing spelling bees all across the state of Missouri. She recently earned a spot in The Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking place later this month.
20-year-old Grigory Korostyshevskiy of Staten Island, New York was recently rearrested on hate crime charges, on accusations that he beat a Mexican immigrant with a belt, just a few short weeks after it seemed as though charges would be dismissed.
Two teens, accused in the fatal beating of Mexican immigrant Luis Ramirez in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania back in July of 2008, were recently acquitted of all serious charges by an all white jury. Brandon Piekarsky, 17, was acquitted of third-degree murder and Derrick Donchak, 19, was acquitted of aggravated assault. Charges of ethnic intimidation against both teens were also dropped.
Rosario Lucero hadn't seen her son Marcelo in 14 years, since the day he left his native Ecuador for the United States, determined to make a better life for his family. Ever since then she says she's been "counting the hours, the minutes" until she could see him again.
In a recent "special report" for The Daily Show, correspondent Aasif Mandvi went to the heart of the matter to find out what, if anything, the unofficial border police such as the Minutemen actually do.
The Room for Debate blog on nytimes.com recently had a group of experts weigh in on the recession and competition for lower-wage jobs between native-born workers and immigrants, both legal and illegal. We've always heard people scream about how immigrants "steal jobs from real citizens" or how Americans would "never accept the jobs that immigrants do" and were fascinated to hear what those on the front lines of this issue had to say.
On Wednesday during a press conference in Southern California, President Barack Obama said he is still for "comprehensive immigration reform," the Associated Press reports. He made the comments during the town hall-style conference, after being asked about the touchy, now largely forgotten subject.
After the overwhelming response to the article about rape trees published last week, we decided to take a more in-depth look at the perils women face as they attempt to immigrate into America. The journey is dangerous—from the malevolent coyotes transporting their human cargo, to the harsh conditions faced in the desert—and many women are realistic about crossing the border.
Flash Sharrar, the owner of Team Ramco in Yuma, Arizona has caused quite a controversy after hanging a sign reading "No Yobs Aqui" in the door of his business.

The e-commerce website One Kings Lane has become a go-to digital destination for discerning shoppers seeking designer home decor for a discount. Offering stylish household items at up to 70 percent off retail price during specially curated 72-hour sales windows, the innovative online shop has attracted more than 1 million members -- and counting.
Here, chief merchandising officer Susan Feldman and chief strategy officer Alison Pincus discuss how they turned their idea into a successful online business.
What's Good for the Consumer Is Good for the Brand
Customers are drawn to One Kings Lane for the amazing deals, while top home decor brands are drawn to the site as a way to quickly move their merchandise. Closing each sale after only 72 hours gives a "thrill of the chase" element to shopping on the site: "It's like one big game," explains Susan. And since all the transactions happen after the sale ends, One Kings Lane does not incur any inventory costs.
First to Market Wins
Eager to get out ahead of any potential competition, Susan and Ali worked around the clock to get One Kings Lane up and running online within mere months. They began by making a comprehensive roadmap, outlining all necessary next steps, and were pitching the site to top home decor brands within two months of their first meeting.
Simple Is Always Better
When it comes to web design, Susan and Ali emphasize the importance of simplicity and advise against adding unnecessary bells and whistles. People move at rapid speeds online, and confusing websites are not likely to get a second viewing.

About the Exhibit
In the art world, the term "construction" defines a sculpture that is put together by bringing together disparate materials. The term implies that something is built of component parts, not carved or molded; instead, a construction refers to a whole that is made by a unification of those various parts. The term "deconstruction" as used in the field of art refers to the breakdown of a whole into parts in order to analyze or redefine a whole, then to give it new life or new meaning in a reconfiguration. Because the creative process is one of invention, artists often find inspiration in objects or materials around them, thinking of ways to combine things in original ways or to reinterpret something that already exists by inventing something new.
The artists in the exhibition Construction/DeConstruction share a passion for the making of new meanings through unification of smaller components into a new creative whole. Those parts may be derived from the deconstruction of another object in order to salvage materials and forms that are then transformed into a new object, such as Margaret Wharton's creation of sculptures from deconstructed chairs. Their creative practice is defined by transforming one thing into another through both construction and deconstruction. While their process is similar in their shared interest in making a whole from parts, their creative output varies significantly from abstract to humorous, and from organic to symbolic.

Scuba plays a big programming role at the Underwater Connection aquatics pool in Colorado Springs, Colo., but soon more aquatics programming will hit the water.
Myles Blask, aquatics director for the five-star Professional Association of Diving Instructors facility, says offering swimming lessons for 6-month-olds through adults, plus kayaking courses, stand-up paddleboarding classes and yoga on stand-up paddleboards, is key to getting the community more involved in local aquatic sports.
One continuing program is the scuba certification classes for veterans to help them become scuba instructors.

text: Central and Southern Maine Weather BLIZZARD CONDITIONS LIKELY TODAYOur next winter storm will be impacting the area throughout the day. It is looking to start off slow during the very early morning hours then pick up greatly after sunrise, unfortunately we will not be seeing anything in the way of sun today. We will have period of very heavy snow fall which will drop visibilities extremely low to near or at whiteout conditions. Along with the heavy snow, wind speeds will be up greatly throughout the day this will bring dangerously low wind chill values, which look to be 10 to possibly 20 below. Expect snow to move in late tonight from south to north. The heaviest bands of snow will likely occur from 6AM through 2PM Tuesday. During that period snowfall rates should be one to three inches per hour at times. The storm will stall for a period to our south which will keep snow around Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning but it will become lighter. In a perfect world of forecasting, the snow would fall and accumulate to a nice one to two feet for most of the state. In reality, due to the strong winds, snow totals will likely be highly variable. Much like the blizzard on Feb 8th and 9th 2013, drifts of three feet may occur on the south side of your house, while only a few inches may be measured on the north or northeast side. For that reason snow totals will be an adventure tomorrow. Here's our best estimate. Winds will be strongest from 2AM through about 7PM. During that period frequent north to northeasterly gusts of 40 mph to 50 mph are likely, esp. coast and higher elevations._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________TIMING: Snow has arrived and will continue through early Wednesday morning. Heaviest should be a period between 6AM and 2PM.PRECIP TYPE: All snow. Temperatures look cold in the upper single digits and teens. Therefore the consistency will be a fluffy but wind blown snow.HOW MUCH: Most towns should pick up one to two feet of snow. Heaviest snow totals will likely occur over extreme southern and coastal Maine and New Hampshire.WIND: North to northeasterly winds will gust 40 to 50 mph. That in combination with heavy snow should lead to blizzard conditions.TEMPERATURES: This storm will be a cold one. It's looking like day time temperatures will stay in the single digits and low teens for most. That will make for a fluffy snow. Wind Chills will be below zero.BLIZZARD WARNING, WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Blizzard Warnings are issued when the following conditions are expected. Heavy snow reducing visibilities to ¼ mile or less, winds sustained or frequent gusts of 35 mph, and occurring for three hours or more.POWER OUTAGES: Strong winds gusting 40 to 50 mph may produce power outages but I don't anticipate they'll be widespread. The reason being the dry fluffy nature of the snow will not stick to tree limbs and power lines. Also the ground is frozen with no leaves on the trees.COASTAL FLOODING: Tides are relatively low in the astronomical cycle however prolonged northeasterly winds will build seas of 25 to 30 feet offshore. This may be enough to produce minor flooding around the times of high tide. Beach erosion and splash over are likely. At Portland high tide is 10.0 feet at 4:20 am Tuesday, 9.1 feet at 4:53 am Tuesday and 9.8 ft at 5:23 am Wednesday. A MEMORABLE 10 DAYS AHEAD Tuesday's storm is not the only one we have in the 7 day forecast. More accumulating snow (possibly moderate to heavy) is possible on Friday. And yet another storm will be near us early next week. In addition, tempeatures will become very cold with highs struggling to get out of the single digits tomorrow and again next week. I think by the end of the winter, folks will look back on this period as the most extreme of the winter. Amanda Jellig - Meteorologist _________________________________________________________________________________________________ TUESDAY: Snow, heavy at times. Very windy. Day time temperatures in the single digits and low teens. N to NE winds gusting over 40 mph. Wind chills below zero. TUESDAY NIGHT: Snow, not as heavy. Temperatures in the teens. WEDNESDAY: Any left over light snow will come to an end early. Highs in the 20s.

'We deserved the win'
Homan laments last rock that cost Canada a shot at gold
RIGA, Latvia -- Canada's Rachel Homan was in an ideal position to advance to the gold-medal game at the world women's curling championship on Saturday.
Armed with last-rock advantage in the final end of a tied game against Scotland, the Ottawa skip missed a double takeout attempt and Eve Muirhead stole a point for a dramatic 8-7 semifinal victory.
"We played really well and we deserved the win," Homan said. "It's too bad it had to end that way but sometimes it happens."
Homan will have to settle for an appearance in this morning's bronze-medal game against Erika Brown of the United States. Muirhead will play Sweden's Margaretha Sigfridsson for the gold.
The semifinal featured stellar shotmaking and plenty of offence. The few hundred fans in attendance at the Volvo Sports Center were treated to a back-and-forth affair that could have gone either way.
"Rachel threw a great attempt at the double but it just hung a little straight on her and they got the win," said Canadian coach Earle Morris.
Muirhead, a year younger than her 23-year-old counterpart and just as intense, shot 88 per cent on the game. Homan finished at 86 per cent.
The Scot opened with a takeout to score a pair. Homan answered with a draw to the button for a deuce of her own but Muirhead replied with two more points in the third end.
Homan hit a tapback for two to pull even in the fourth. After alternating singles, the Canadians scored a pair in the eighth for a 7-6 lead before Scotland tied it with a single in the ninth.
"It's one of the finest curling games I can ever remember our team being involved in," Morris said. "It was a battle. It was like a boxing match out there. Both teams played really well and made some big shots. It was the kind of game that I think deserved to have the last one made, whether it was Scotland throwing the last shot or Canada throwing the last rock.
"But it's why we play. You can't guarantee what the outcomes are going to be."
Canada hasn't won a world women's title since Jennifer Jones was victorious in 2008. Homan beat Jones last month at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Kingston, Ont., to qualify for the world championship.
Alberta's Heather Nedohin skipped Canada to a bronze medal at the 2012 event in Lethbridge. Switzerland's Mirjam Ott beat Sigfridsson in last year's championship game.
Earlier in the day, Homan defeated Brown 7-6 in the 3-4 Page playoff. The Canadians looked relaxed and confident in their first career world women's playoff game.
Homan opened the scoring with an impressive in-off for a deuce before the United States cut the lead in half with a takeout in the second end.
Homan scored two more in the third. The Ottawa skip took out a U.S. rock and it nudged another American stone just enough to give Canada a second point.
The United States followed with back-to-back singles, cutting Canada's lead to 4-3 at the halftime break. Homan tried a tapback in the fifth but just missed to give the Americans a steal of one.
Canada scored a deuce in the sixth end before the teams traded singles leading into the 10th, with Canada up 7-5. Homan had last rock and took out one of the American stones for the one-point win.
Canada leads all countries with 29 podium appearances in the tournament's 34-year history. Canada also leads with 15 gold medals, well ahead of second-place Sweden's eight.
Sigfridsson lost to Switzerland's Mirjam Ott in last year's championship game.
A group of flag-waving, cowbell-ringing Canadian fans took in the action from the front row of the 1,000-seat venue on Saturday. Small groups of American and Scottish fans were also on hand.
There were some unique touches at the host venue, about a 15-minute drive from the main drag of the Latvian capital.
The event MC did his best Bruce Buffer imitation by stretching out the surname of each curler during the pre-game player introductions. Once play started, the quiet vibe was interrupted during end breaks by blasts of thumping '80s-inspired mashup dance music selections.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These postcards turned out wonderful! My fiancé and I had our engagement pictures taken in early November so the background was a mixture of orange, brown and green. The green in the font matched the pictures perfectly! So happy with how they turned out I just ordered my invitations from here as well!"
"Wedding paper divas was recommended to me by friends that have utilized the website in the past. I was skeptical at first about ordering online. However, I feel choosing Wedding Paper Divas was THE BEST decision I could have made. Our Save the Dates arrived quickly and are absolutely stunning. The quality of the paper is outstanding (and we didn't even upgrade)!"
"This save the date was perfect for of engagement photos. It was exactly what we wanted. The design process was easy and we chose the option to have a professional look at for free and she was amazing. She even sent us a card in the mail saying how our photos were beautiful and enjoyed proofing our save the dates. The actual product was great printed perfectly on all 100 of them."
"I am so pleased with this save the date! The quality is beautiful, I have received many compliments on them so far! The wedding paper divas team was extremely helpful and quick! I was also very pleased to have revived my save the dates 2 weeks before expected delivery! I will be ordering my wedding invitations through you guys!"

Everyone just needs to chill out already on this case! Yes, he should not have gone out looking for him and followed him, but that is not illegal! There was not enough evidence and too many assumptions made by State to convict him. I think it is so stupid that so many people are already signing petitions to get this trial looked at again. There is NO point! There will not be any new evidence to use. Plus, look at it this way, he will ALWAYS have to watch his back, probably go into hiding for a long time and will probably get even more death threats by people! We pay for people to live in a prison where they are guarded by the police, eat, watch TV and live somewhat comfortable, he will not have this comfort living at home.
All it would have took was ONE good guy withagun to stop that bad guy from doing those shootings. Taking guns away will not solve anything at all! Criminals will always find ways around everything, even if you took all the guns away. We need to be prepared for the worst, soIwant my guns and all my ammo!

Topic: Kabbalistic Concepts | Posted: January 21, 2015
We are in the portion of Bo, which precedes what's called the Redemption, the Israelites going out of Egypt. Therefore, this portion has within it the Light and understanding for every single one of us to be able to take ourselves out of any negativity or darkness that we experience. The teaching I'd like to share about this portion has to do with what we need to change and what we need to do consistently in order to enable the Light of Redemption, the Light that can take us out of all forms of negativity. There is a section in Sanhedrin, in the Talmud, which deals with the Redemption. It says: "The Redemption cannot come until those with ego no longer exist." Either they are not in the world, or they are still in the world but their ego doesn't exist. So, kabbalists ask why ego is the only thing that's stopping the Redemption… there are a lot of worse things that happen in this world,... read more
Topic: Prayer & Meditation | Posted: January 14, 2015
The portion Va'era begins, "The Creator tells Moses, 'I revealed myself to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in one level of Light, one level of connection. But in this highest level of connection I did not make myself known to them.'" So the kabbalists ask, what secret is the Creator giving Moses in that statement? And most importantly, what understanding and secret do we want and need to receive from that teaching? To answer this, I want to share from the Pri HaAretz, the book of collection of teachings from Rav Menachem of Vitebsk; it is the one book that Rav Brandwein would study the weekly portion from. It's a lengthy section but I want to focus on one point that has to do with speech… specifically, speech that is of prayer, that is of study. The original words of Rav Menachem of Vitebsk in Hebrew are very beautiful and powerful, but translated, he asks - when every person is praying, do... read more
Topic: Kabbalistic Concepts | Posted: January 7, 2015
Through the portion of Shemot, on this Shabbat, we can begin to awaken the part of our soul that is needed to bring the Final Redemption. And letter number 27 in Beloved of My Soul has within it a specific point that Rav Brandwein teaches Rav Berg about that important understanding in this portion. Moses, we know, wanted to bring the end to pain, suffering, and death. He made it a point to do whatever he could to assist the Israelites while they were in the pain of slavery in Egypt. So, Rav Brandwein asks, why then when the Creator tells Moses that he wants him to be the one who will bring the end to all the pain and suffering, does Moses say no? A whole argument ensues, back and forth, for a week, and not only does Moses not jump on the opportunity, but he keeps pushing it back. Rav Brandwein asks, how do we understand this? Moses cared for the Israelites, but not in the way most of us... read more
Topic: Kabbalistic Concepts | Posted: December 31, 2014
This portion is called Vayechi, which literally means "and he lived," referring specifically to the life of Jacob during the 17 years he was in Egypt. And it really is a discussion of Jacob's preparation in leaving this world. He knows he's not going to stay in this world much longer, and it says he tells his sons, "Gather around me and I will say to you what is going to happen to you at the End of Days, Acharit Hayamim." If you read the verse literally, it means that Jacob is telling his children, and telling us, what the process is that each one of us has to go through - and that the world has to go through - in order to achieve what's called the "Final Correction." But the Zohar says that those words, Acharit Hayamim, "End of Days," really hold within them a secret that follows us our entire lives; a secret that's important to understand. In the section of Ki Tisa, the Zohar speaks... read more
