Jewish Kosher Food Bloggers, Foodies etc: Announcement

I'm planning a pre-Passover Kosher Cooking Carnival here on this blog and want links to your favorite Passover food posts, or your recipes, tips etc. which I'll post giving you credit (as per your requested way of identifying yourself, including nom de plume of your choice.) Please email me to shilohmuse@gmail.com with KCC as subject, thanks.

Recipes can have short stories/background pieces about the foods and experiences. So, let's get started before we're too busy cooking, and our kitchens look like this!

Please share this request around, thanks.

Kosher Food Bloggers, Yoo-hoo!...

Nu, yoo-hoo, waky wake...
Water's boiling, shriek!
Hey, you...
Nu?

It's time to send in links for the next Kosher Cooking Carnival, which I plan to post, G-d willing, bli neder, some time after this Shabbat, since Friday and Shabbat are Rosh Chodesh Marsheshvan.

The Kosher Cooking Carnival is the monthly blog carnival centered on all aspects of kosher food and kosher cooking, halacha (that's Jewish Law,) traditions, cookbook and restaurant reviews, kosher food news/updates and recipes, too, of course! Anything as long as it's kosher!

I started the blog carnival when a recipe of mine was rejected from a general recipe blog carnival, because the week's theme was ham. Nu, we're still putting together our kosher food carnival, and they're history...

Nowadays, we organize and make announcements, such as who's hosting, volunteer to host, etc. on our facebook page. Please send in your post from this month of Tishrei, or any you think would make a good contribution to the kosher food blog carnival to me at shilohmuse at gmail dot com, thanks. And, of course, please share this information, thanks.

PS You don't have to be a blogger to love, read, comment, share the Kosher Cooking Carnival!!

KCC Elul, Frugal and Rich

Frugal and Kosher is the host of this month's Kosher Cooking Carnival. Check it out. Read, comment and share, thanks.

The Kosher Cooking Carnival can include all sorts of posts about kosher food and kosher cooking. KCC appears on or around Rosh Chodesh, the beginning of the Jewish Month. We coordinate and plan on our Facebook site. I'll be hosting it next month's edition which will appear either before or after Rosh Hashannah, which is not only the first day of the Jewish year, but the first of the month of Tishrei. Please send in links to shilohmuse at gmail dot com, thanks.

Thanks again to Ester of Frugal and Kosher for hosting!

Havel Havalim in Aliyah Land

Tzivia has posted a wonderful Havel Havelim, just thing for this week. Take a look at all the blog posts, comment and share. There are some wonderful posts.

It's decorated with flowering fruit trees, just perfect for the beginning of Chodesh (the Jewish Month of) Nissan when we're supposed to say Birkat Ilanot,  a special blessing on seeing two flowering fruit trees. We have a wonderful custom every first Shabbat in Nissan. Neighbors who have a lot of fruit trees invite all of us to their backyard for the blessing and a big sit-down kiddush.

Blog carnival has been "down" for quite a bit already. I don't know if it'll be back. That means that our communications are via our facebook page and emails to me, shilohmuse at gmail dot com. From previous experience I know that many Jewish bloggers read and post less during the season of now until after Passover, so I'll play it by ear. If someone wants to host for any which, either or both of the next two weeks, please let me and the facebook group know. Otherwise I'll do what I can to host at some point when/if I have time. So if you've posted or read something that suits Havel Havelim, the long-running international Jewish bloggers carnival, please send me the link, thanks.

There's also the monthly Kosher Cooking Carnival, which I also coordinate.  It also has a facebook page and the same problem with blog carnival.

Shavua Tov
Have a wonderful, safe and healthy week!

PS May G-d help the Jerusalem Big Blue Lions to a safe and uninjured victory this coming Friday.

Check out and share Foodiscovery's debut Kosher Cooking Carnival!

She did a fantastic job, and I'm sure you'll find great information in the included posts. If you'd like to host an edition, then please contact me at shilohmuse at gmail dot com or sign up via our facebook page.  You can submit links via the carnival submission form.

I've been abroad and plan on blogging about eating kosher in Phoenix and Miami, so stay tuned.

The Av KCC Ouside the Box

Thanks so much to Yosefa for her nice and refreshing Kosher Cooking Carnival.  She did a great job. 

Funny coincidence. We both posted about pickles, but her "Kosher Dill Pickles, from scratch, naturally fermented and full of probiotic goodness" sounds much better than mine.

If you'd like to host a KCC please let me know. They come out weekly on Rosh Chodesh, the beginning of the Jewish month.  Submit your blog article to the next edition of kosher cooking carnival-kcc using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.  We also coordinate on our KCC facebook page.

And don't forget Havel Havelim, which is weekly again.  It'll be hosted this coming Friday or Sunday on Shiloh Musings.  You can submit articles/blog posts from this week via blog carnival.  If you'd like to host an HH please let me know, and Havel Havelim also has a facebook page.

Belated Kosher Cooking Carnival, Tammuz, 5773

My apologies for this late posting of the Tammuz, 5773, edition of the Kosher Cooking Carnival.  I was busy with personal family business on Rosh Chodesh. 

I'd like to remind you that it's a good practice to submit via blog carnival kosher food posts, whether recipes, reviews, customs, kosher food news or halachik (Jewish Law) posts as soon as posted, or if you're like me  you'll forget. Also, hosts are always needed for this monthly kosher cooking carnival. For information either contact me, shilohmuse at gmail dot com, or check out our facebook page.  To tell you the truth, even I submit my posts using blog carnival including when I'm hosting.  That's why I'm referred to in the third person.  BC provides an easy to use "instacarnival" so hosting isn't difficult.  You may have to edit the spam out and you may certainly add more posts to the ones that had been submitted.

Next month's Kosher Cooking Carnival will be hosted by Cooking Outside the Box .

Kosher Cooking Carnival, Sivan 5773

 

Welcome to the Rosh Chodesh Sivan, 5773,  edition of the Kosher Cooking Carnival aka KCC.

The Kosher Cooking Carnival is a monthly blog carnival that can include any sort of blog post about kosher food, kosher cooking, traditions, halachot-laws and reviews of kosher cookbooks and restaurants.  It's really easy to host, especially if you work from blog carnival's instacarnival.  That's what I ended up doing.  That's why I'm included in the "third person." Instacarnival just needs editing, such as making sure there aren't an spam links.  You can add pictures from the posts that were submitted.  And I suggest adding some sort of introduction which will tell your reader to contact me or our facebook page for hosting.

I started KCC after a recipe of mine had been rejected by a recipe carnival, because their edition's theme was pork.  In response I began the Kosher Cooking Carnival. If you'd like to host an edition, then please contact me at shilohmuse at gmail dot com or sign up via our facebook page.  You can submit links via blog carnival.

Double Rosh Chodesh Adar and 2 Jblog Carnivals, KCC and HH

Chodesh Tov Everyone!

It's Rosh Chodesh (beginning of the Jewish Month of) Adar.  Purim is just a couple of weeks away!  And Passover is a month later.  It's time to celebrate, and I have the two big Jewish blog carnivals, floating internet maagizines,  for you, Havel Havelim and the Kosher Cooking Carnival.

Havel Havelim is weekly and coordinated on our facebook page.  It includes all sorts of blog posts on Jewish and Israeli topics.  I'm hosting next week's edition, and you can mail your link to me.  If you'd like to host one, let us know on thefacebook page.

So, please visit both carnivals and the included posts.  And of course comment and share as much as you can.

Chodesh Tov, may the festivities begin...

Havel Havelim Makes Aliyah

Many times new bloggers ask me how to increase their blog's visitors/stats, and one of the best ways is to get involved in participating and hosting blog carnivals, such as Havel Havelim. 

If you sometimes blog about kosher food, any aspect, halacha (Jewish Law,) customs, recipes, cookbook or restaurant reviews, you are invited to send you posts to the montly Kosher Cooking Carnival.  We also have a facebook page.  Hosts are also welcome; contact me for details, thanks.  Stay tuned.  Some time today the Shvat edition will be posted on Frugal and Kosher.

Enjoy!  Have a wonderful week!!

Miracle, Rosh Chodesh Nisan Kosher Cooking Carnival

Here we are between Purim and Passover, the Rosh Chodesh Nissan Kosher Cooking Carnival.  It's hard to believe that Passover is less than two weeks away, and here I am busy on the computer and not cleaning for Passover.  Before getting distracted by Pesach and the links that I've found and that have been sent, I'd like to get the business over with.

It seems that we'll be running the jblog carnivals a new way or two.  So far, I'm finding that our facebook page is very helpful.  Join it if you haven't yet done so. Jennifer in MamaLand will be hosting next month's edition, Rosh Chodesh Iyyar. The Kosher Cooking Carnival is a floating blog/internet site carnival, hosted by different blogs and food sites each month, according to the Jewish Calendar.  All posts and articles must be kosher, about kosher food, recipes, Jewish Law, reviews of kosher restaurants, cookbooks and more.  If you 'd like to host one, please contact me, either on facebook or email, shilohmuse at gmail dot com.

Please share the links of this KCC to all, and of course visit the bloggers included.  Thanks for all of your help and support.
And now, considering I just don't have any time to waste, let's get on with the show...

First let's have some practical Passover pointers from Ester, a very experienced housewife.
She does a better job cleaning than I do.
Here's Bonnie Giller's Tips, Tricks and Recipes.

Misc.
Mrs. S's apple cake looks absolutely delicious!

I rarely bake challah, so I was surprised to find myself making a batch after Purim, so close to Pesach.  At least I've been getting compliments on them, even after being frozen.

Jennifer had a food adventure; read Chacun à MON goût.  You must also try her kichel, bow-ties!
Apparently, there's talk in France of restricting or forbidding shechita,  kosher animal slaughter as immoral, though they don't have any problem with hunting.
Emily's No Soy Vegan Quiche looks good.
The country mouse's Purim baskets are gorgeous. Save that idea!

Halacha, Jewish Law
For those who want information about quinoa and Passover, the Rebbetzin's Husband wrote a very important post.

Passover Recipes
Emily's sugar-free cookies seem amazing.  One recipe in the post is for Passover, and the other isn't.

And now for some entertainment, Rabbanit Yemima Mizrachi's Passover Shiur!  Sorry, but it's not a recording.  Sign up on her site for her shiurim.  They are great fun!

I hope you enjoyed this Chodesh Nissan edition of the Kosher Cooking Carnival.  Please share this link and all of those included.  If you'd like to host an edition or send in your links for  next month's please contact me.  Thanks to all who have participated.  Safe and enjoyable cleaning and Passover preparations...

Pre-Shavuot KCC From Jewish Boston

It's the Jewish month of Sivan and the latest Kosher Cooking Carnival has been brought to you by  David Levy of Jewish Boston.  Please check it out, visit the links and "share" it in the media.

KCC is a monthly collection of blog posts on the subject of kosher food, kosher recipes, Jewish Laws of Kashrut, kosher restaurant and cookbook reviews.... yes, anything kosher.

If you have a post to submit, just send your link to blog carnival.  And if you'd like to host an edition, please contact me.

The Bima Ima's Pre-Passover Kosher Cooking Carnival

The Bima Ima is a real wonder woman, considering all she gets done.  Her fourth maternity leave just ended and while going back to work just before Purim she still managed to put together not only a Havel Havelim.... here's the very latest Kosher Cooking Carnival.

So, please stop by to visit her and all the included links.  There are a great variety of topics covered, just what I had been hoping for when I envisioned the Kosher Cooking Carnival many years ago.  Blogging, more specifically, jblogging or Jewish Blogging isn't a new phenomenon.  Even with twitter and facebook joining the fray, blogs are still irreplaceable.  Many of us who also communicate via facebook, where I first saw the Bima Ima's announcement that KCC #65 has been served on her blog, have our blogs set up so the posts can be posted to fb and twitter.  The multiplicity of social media is good for all.

If you're interested in hosting a KCC, please let me know.  And you can send your posts to one via blog carnival.  My recommendation is to send them in as soon as they're posted, so you won't forget.

A Yummy KCC at Miriyummy!

Yes, yummy this Adar Bet Kosher Cooking Carnival certainly is!  Miri sure made a yummy KCC, so check it out, please and serve the link to others.  And of course check out the kosher food posts she has featured.

Next month, Nissan, the Bima Ima will host KCC.  To send your posts, just click here for the blog carnival page.  And if you'd like to host an edition of the Kosher Cooking Carnival, please contact me.

Now it's time to empty the pantry and freezer for Passover.  Use what you can for Purim.  Enjoy and Chodesh Tov!

Miriyummy's KCC!

Miriyummy has joined the exclusive club of Kosher Cooking Carnival hosts with a lovely, moist (B"H, it's raining) KCC!

There are some very tasty posts being served.  If you'd like to join the club of KCC hosts, or are ready for an additional opportunity, please let me know, so I can schedule you in.  To submit your kosher food posts click here.  The Kosher Cooking Carnival is more than just a recipe carnival, because kosher food is not just about eating.

• Halachot (Jewish Law) concerning kosher animals, cleaning, cooking etc.
• Traditions, kosher family food traditions, holidays and special occasions.
• Kosher cookbook and restaurant reviews.
• And recipes, of course, as long as they're kosher!

The 60th KCC's at Isramom!

Risa has posted a wonderful Kosher Cooking Carnival #60 at Isramom.  There's a large variety of posts about kosher food and cooking for your reading/cooking/eating pleasure.

Next month Mirj will make her KCC debut.  The Kosher Cooking Carnival is a monthly round-up of all sorts of blog posts about kosher food, Jewish Law, customs, recipes, restaurants and cookbook reviews, anything kosher!  Please send in your kosher food posts ASAP (as soon as posted) or you may forget and miss out.  And if you'd like to host an edition, please contact me.

Chodesh Kislev Tov!  Have a wonderful month.  It's time for miracles...

My drink of choice at HaGov, Jerusalem's Kosher Sports Bar and Grill, is beer, so I'm happy to see that Neil posted a list of kosher beers.
Here in Shiloh, we plan healthy and diet-friendly menus at joyous events like the party celebrating the expansion of our synagogue.
Some people depend on Trader Joe's kosher list. Is that one of the secrets to its success?


Dessert

This parfait is in Miriyummy's post which you must read!  I'd have no self control if let near such a treat.
Even though the Bima Ima is still in the baby business, she's making plans for being a bubbie.  Why not?
The simplest summer dessert is frozen mango!

jay3fer posted a very tempting bread and a pizza.  Try them out.
There's something special about Miriyummy's camping treats.

David Levy's Stuffed Acorn Squash looks very special.
Here's jay3fer's Grama’s Neapolitan Cake, perfect for a festive dairy meal.

Restaurant or Cookbook Reviews


We had a delicious and fun jblog f2f.
Here are three more New York kosher restaurants to check out.


Traditional Food


jay3fer tells about her Auntie Sally's Challah.
Mrs. S. makes a very tempting chopped liver.
For my son-in-law, the traditional Jewish Holiday meal is freshly cooked over an outdoor fire.  I cook everything in advance like for Shabbat.  Those are the two extremes.  What do you do?
