Take Me Out to a Kosher Ball Game!
It’s still cold here in Toronto but at least the temperatures have stayed well above freezing. And if the forecast can be trusted, we may even hit the 50s next week! Even better, today was Opening Day for Major League Baseball. You know spring’s gotta be on the way. More MLB Teams Serve Kosher Foods…
Dipping Food All Year ‘Round
One of the Four Questions we ask at Passover is about dipping food. On all other nights, the question goes, we don’t dip once. Tonight, we dip twice. Not in our home. Here, we dip all year ‘round. We started doing this to encourage the kids to eat their vegetables. We kept doing it…

This is a fairly rare event, although it happened a few years ago in 2012. Because it’s a special Passover, consider catering your Seder with traditional and nontraditional kosher for…

Walk Past These Passover Foods

However, there are a lot of Passover foods approved for the holiday but you may want to consider because their ingredients have more salt, sugar, and oils that can be detrimental to your health. <Ducking to…
The Story of Challah
Does any bread taste better than challah? Probably not! Challah, that twisted, doughy staple of Shabbat is a huge favorite in our community.

Erin Go Bragh with Kosher Corned Beef
