Please welcome Cindee Weiss, writer, comedian, and dear friend of CHG, who is here today to knock our socks off with deliciousness. And today on Serious Eats: Top-Crust Peach and Cardamom Pie: the most delectable way to ease the transition from summer to fall.
Hello kind readers! Its nice to be back in the cozy and delicious world of Cheap Healthy Good, as I am in the throes of the Jewish High Holidays. Equal parts celebratory and somber, Fall is peeking in, and theres holiday food. OH THE FOOD! Its not gourmet, or fussy, or experimental.
Its also not a meal one takes lightly. When the appetizer is chopped liver on challah or rye bread, you know that this will be a meal that demands attention. What follows after the chopped liver is something I crave starting in early September: brisket, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, and salad.
Much like Thanksgiving, we celebrate the Jewish New Year with a meal thats traditional, comforting, and just plain delicious. I have eaten this exact same meal for almost 40 years. I wouldnt change anything. Its home on a plate.
For todays recipe, I give you Janices (my mom) Glazed Carrots. Its a simple recipe, and when paired with a savory meat dish, the results are sublime. Traditionally, honey is used in the Rosh Hashana meal to signify a sweet New Year. Jan is not a honey gal (shes extremely sweet though!), so pure maple syrup is our sweetener of choice.
A belated Lshanah Tovah, to you CHG! May your year be sweet, peaceful, and delicious!
