Super Simple Latkes (Potato Pancakes)
“We love potato pancakes in our house, but until I came up with the idea to use pre-shredded frozen potatoes, they were a once a year thing at Hanukkah. Peeling, shredding and draining the potatoes were a real pain. Now that the hard work is done, we can eat them all year long!!!”

Hanukkah Honey Puffs

Apricot Applesauce
"With Mike's permission, I made a variation of this recipe using pears and dried peaches. The flavors are delicious and very intense. Swirling in your mouth you can distinctly taste the vanilla, pears, and peaches, yet they also combine very well. So, applesauce or pearsauce...unlimited possibilities but really so much better than from a jar."

Sweet Potato Latkes
"This is more "interesting" than plain potato latkes, though I must confess that by the time I got around to making them, I had run out of patience to use the the stovetop... I baked them on a sprayed cookie sheet. I don't know if that's why the shredded sweet potatoes were so crisp, almost to the point of being raw... the taste was great, though. Thanks for posting."

I've been meaning to make this one for a few days now, finally did it today, and I'm NOT sorry I did. I've never made these in any way before, so I was nervous, but this recipe was really great, easy to follow, and I thank you again! I didn't have buttermilk so I curdled some milk with a splash of vinegar, and left it for a minute or two."
