By far my favorite Passover recipe

This is a family recipe that has been passed down for generations. I make it every year and end up making about 2 to 3 batches by the end of Passover! It makes a great snack or dessert and it's so easy to make :) Enjoy!

Grimslich

 

4 matzot

4 oz cake meal

ground almonds

1 tsp cinnamon

4 eggs

8 oz dried fruit

4 oz sugar

oil for cooking (I use vegetable oil as it doesn’t seem to splatter as much)

 

Soak matzot in cold water till soft. Squeeze very dry.  Beat up with a fork. Separate the yokes from whites. Add beaten yokes and add to remaining ingredients (except for whites and oil). Mix thoroughly. Fold in the stiffly whipped egg whites. Drop in spoonfuls on shallow oil that is heated over a medium flame. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Sprinkle with sugar. Amazing served warm but also tastes good cooled. Holds up well when frozen.

And the winner of the stud earring giveaway is....

Same technique, different look

So I decided that it might be fun to experiment with different center beads and color schemes for my popular cluster earrings. Here are my newest earrings:

The Grass and Sun cluster earrings have a light green czech glass center in the shape of a leaf

 with light yellow semiprecious stones and Swarovski crystals

On the Peach Tree cluster earring I used a peachy Swarovski crystal center and surrounded it with dark brown wooden beads and crystals.

Completely different looks with the same technique!

March Challenge

Good morning everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know about the March Busy Mom's team challenge that's up on Etsy. I listed the Cherry Blossom collection (necklace and earrings). Please check out my mommy friend's amazing items all inspired by nature!

Cherry Blossoms

I love cherry blossoms! For me, when the cherry blossoms start to bloom, that is the official start of spring. 

It was actually one of the reasons that we moved to Walnut Creek a little over a year ago as there were cherry blossom trees in bloom on either side of the street in the downtown area.

In celebration of this wonderful event, I have created the Cherry Blossom collection. It consists of a sterling silver cluster necklace and earrings in shades of light pink (for the flowers) and medium brown (for the trunk and branches) swarovski crystals mixed with round garnet beads (for the leaves) and a grey teardrop in the center.

Absolutely stunning!!
