As time is limited Erev Pesach, here are some quick yet pretty and versatile ideas to dress up your yom tov table. 

I set out to set a Pesach table that is approachable, repeatable, products easy to find ,classy with a touch of modern.

 I hope that I have accomplished that and that everyone who is looking to enhance their Yom Tov table this year can take something out of this tablescape. 

The Pesach Seder is a celebration of our cheirus, our freedom, and traditionally we have always set it in royal fashion.

Some years, like this one, circumstances are more challenging than others and we can celebrate the freedom of keeping things beautiful, but simpler.

Here are a few suggestions for those who are able to implement them-striking ways to make your table fit for children of the King.

Here is an easy, refreshing summer dessert idea to enhance your next summer party. I tried to keep it simple, so you can spend more time in the sun and less time in the kitchen.

Simple, delicious, light and refreshing, the chopped fruit and sorbet combination will be a big hit on any hot summer day!

I adapted this recipe from a peanut cluster recipe a couple of years ago.

It has been a Pesach favorite in my house ever since.

The Pesach Seder is a culmination of many things....weeks of cleaning, hours of cooking, more hours of shopping, days of having the kids home and bored.

But it's also the anniversary of our nationhood.  It's the commemoration of our redemption from the seemingly endless exile of Egypt.  And even if we are dropping with exhaustion, we get a second wind when the Seder begins.  I attribute this yearly phenomenon to the sparkle in the children's eyes, the memories of all the sedorim of our youth, and the desire to create new memories that our children will cherish as they grow,.
