The Not So Dowdy Pandowdy  by Nancy Baggett

If Dinah Shore’s 1946 song, “Shoo fly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy,” hadn’t been a big hit, it’s likely almost nobody today would know about the simple fruit dessert called pandowdy. As it is, most people I’ve asked have never eaten the treat that the lyrics say “makes your eyes light up and your tummy say howdy.” But they think it sounds enticing and would be delighted to give it a try. read more . . .

Recipe:   Apple Pandowdy
Not all pandowdies call for spices, but many do, and with good reason. They enhance the taste of the fruit, as well as contribute to the amazing aroma that fills the kitchen during baking. A little molasses brings out the best in apples, too, and really distinguishes the dish from an apple cobbler.

Kosher Chips and Kosher Coney Island Corn Dogs? What’s Next?

What’s great about summer away or at a beach near you is as much about the food, as it is the scenery. Summer means fast food. Come on – who can resist? Hotdogs, cold drinks, fresh, hot French fries? The only caveat about these treats is that often, for those who are observant or keeping kosher even when it comes to fast food or on-the-go style foods like these, is the fact that the stuff isn’t kosher. read more . . .

Recipes
Coney Island Kosher Corn Dogs
Hebrew National makes particularly great corndogs but any kosher, all-beef hotdog will do. These are fun, delicious and fast food authentic –but made at home. Use the regular hotdogs – not over-sized ones.
Turkey BBQ Burgers
Turkey is the original other white meat. Adding liquid smoke to these is a cool kosher trick that adds a zesty BBQ flavour to them whether you cook them indoors or on the grill. You can also use lean, kosher ground beef for these burgers. The homemade Challah Honey Whole Wheat hamburger buns finishes these off into a meal.
Fast Food French Fries
The best fries are fried twice. There is a special method here that is the trade secret of bistro chefs. Just follow the recipe. Match these up with a burger or Kosher Coney Island Corn Dogs. What’s really best about these home-made fast-food French fries is that they don’t use ‘bad’ fats – you can use good old canola oil.
Honey Whole Wheat Challah Dough Hamburger Rolls
Why not boost this lovely, lofty bun with a touch of white-whole wheat flour and complex-up those carbs. It’s fast food but better fast food.
Play Ball! Baseball Brownies
Bake these oil-based, rich, fudge brownies in a jellyroll pan. Semi-freeze and then cut into round baseball shapes with a cookie cutter. Then smear with white fondant and then pipe on baseball ‘laces’ or stitching with food coloring from the tube. Fun and summery unique, being pareve, these are the perfect dessert brownies to enjoy after a meat-meal (if you are serving the Corn Dogs from this menu or any other meat bbq menu).
