Rugelach

If you have never had Rugelach cookies before, you must! They are absolutely to die for! The cookie literally melts in your mouth as the dough is made with flour, butter, cream cheese, and sour cream. We made three different types of filings for the rugelach cookies. The types of fillings are: 1. cocoa powder-sugar mixture with mini chocolate chips and pecans 2. cinnamon-sugar mixture with pecans and currants 3. peach preserves with pecans and currants.

We searched all over the internet when we were looking for a recipe to try. There were so many, but  there was one recipe that stood out to us; it was submitted by an individual to Allrecipes.com. The reason why we chose to try this recipe was the fact that the dough contained butter, cream cheese and sour cream. (yep, you guessed it, these cookies are definitely not fat free, but hey, you only live once, right?! It's all in moderation). With this combination, a flaky, buttery and melt-in-your-mouth type of cookie will/should undoubtedly develop.

So, what do you say? Let's start baking some cookies!

Matzo Ball Soup

Happy Good Friday to all! Our Mom, who is such a wonderful cook and baker, made Matzo Ball Soup for dinner tonight in honor of Passover.




It was absolutely delicious as our Mom has never made Matzo Soup before, and...well...neither have we.

Here is the recipe she used, give it a try!

Engagement Luncheon

About a couple of months ago, we hosted an engagement luncheon for one of our co-workers. She's planning a Fall wedding for 2012, so we decided to throw a fall themed luncheon.

The luncheon was informal as it was held in one of the employee lounges at work, during our 1 hour long lunch break. Decorations had to be easy and minimal. The photo above was created with card stock that we cut-out by hand. The letters represent the first name initial of the engaged couple; Marisa ♥ Eugene.
