Cruciferous Vegetable Salad With Carrot Hearts
Have you heard the news about cruciferous vegetables and their wonderful health benefits? They have properties that enable one to greatly fight the preventive war against cancer, and so everyone should eat them daily. The good news is that the list is quite extensive and varied, and even for those like me that have to worry about not eating bugs in things like the very healthy kale, and who don't have bok choy readily available, there are still lots more veggies on the list! This salad, which I made using white cabbage, kohlrabi and radishes, has three cruciferous vegetables in it, and is fresh and delicious. Dress it with an…

Radish Roses And Carrot Hearts
Come to think of it, there is really nothing all that caring about giving your loved ones all kinds of food colored and sugar coated treats just to show your love on a commercial holiday, is there? Okay, I know, I know, the pressure in on to conform, and if a bunch of people are eating this way, then your family wants it too……believe me I experience the same thing on a regular basis. So, while depriving our families of treats isn't the healthiest thing to do in the long run, we can make an effort to show our love with some healthier options! So I now introduce to you,…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! Last week's party was full of amazing contributions, which I am so happy to share with you here. With the party this large, please excuse me if I didn't have time to leave you a comment, I do look at almost all the links except those that haven't noticed my request: PLEASE NO FOOD LINK UPS THAT COMBINE MILK AND MEAT OR THAT INCLUDE PORK OR SHELLFISH!! A Jewish blog really can't have a bunch of non-kosher food all over the place, right? Honestly, I had to delete at least 15 or more links last week, which is truly a waste of time on my…

Modular Origami Stars
We have been making lots of origami lately, the origami hearts wall hanging, and the origami pull out drawers, for example, and now I'd like to introduce you to another kind or origami altogether, modular origami.Modular or 3D origami is made from lots of little double pointed pieces that fit into one another, and some really truly amazing things have been made with this technique, by people from around the world, with a concentration in Russia, so it appears to me from my research. Here is Israel, I have seen modular origami swans next to the bank teller and in the post office for years, but I never really…

How To Fold An Origami Module For Swans, Peacocks And More
Ever seen complicated modular origami swans, peacocks and baskets? If you've ever wondered how these things were made, well, here is the basic module that one needs to fold in order to make such things. I personally don't know if I'm up for folding 1,000 or so modules to make the large birds, but I have begun to explore making smaller decorative items that are more suited to my personal aesthetic, like these origami modular stars. Okay, I'll admit, I've seen a peacock that has caught my attention, but with all the other craft projects on my must-try list, I may just have to leave that up to someone else!…
