It’s a new year, and I know a time when a lot of people try to lighten up their eating. For the first Shabbat of 2012, I have put together some healthful recipes perfect for wintertime, and perfect  for a healthy (and tasty) start of your year.



When blood oranges are in season, I cannot get enough of them! Blood oranges and fennel are a perfect marriage in this Blood Orange, Beet and Fennel Salad.

This Yemenite Soup from The Kosher Foodies looks like a delightful and spicy soup to warm up your January Shabbat table.

Chicken breasts on the bone are a great way to have both a flavorful, and healthful, poultry dish. Try these Chicken Breasts with Pistachio Cilantro Pesto, which would go great along with Honey-Glazed Roasted Root Vegetables and some simple brown rice.

Keep the flavors of Jewish food alive.

For a light finish, try this Pomegranate Champagne Sorbet from 365 Scoops.

Happy cooking, and Shabbat Shalom!

Yerushalmi Kugel Recipe

The sweet and peppery flavors of Jerusalem kcan remember passing through the Hasidic neighborhood of Mea She’arim in Jerusalem as a teenager and first seeing the mahogany-brown wedges of Yerushalmi (Jerusalem) Kugel . Curious, I bought a slice of the still-warm Sabbath delicacy, and was hooked. Unlike any noodle pudding I had tasted before, this one featured a sophisticated interplay of sweetness and peppery bite, with a subtle toasty flavor thrown in for good measure. The taste is surprisingly easy to recreate at home; all you need is a sure hand and the confidence to make a quick caramel of oil and sugar. Just when you think you’ve got your sugar dark enough, cook it a minute longer — you’ll see and taste the difference in the results. If you burn the caramel, start over — the second time’s often the charm. Although many American adaptations call for baking the kugel in a regular casserole dish, I prefer to bake mine in a soup pot or Dutch oven with less surface area, which creates a higher, denser end result.ugel.
