Matzo balls and cookies

What food is better for Christmas than Matzoh Ball Soup? For those of us who don't celebrate Christmas, it's a nice day to relax at home. I decided to try out recipe for vegan matzoh balls from Isa Chandra Moskowitz's book, Vegan with a Vengeance. The recipe is also posted here on her website.

I will admit that it seemed daunting at first, but the matzoh balls were actually really easy to make and they went especially well with some leftover vegetable soup. From a nice Jewish girl who was raised on good traditional knaidlech, this recipe gets two thumbs up (incidentally, knaidel was one of the words in the recent Scripp's National Spelling Bee)

I also made my two favorite kinds of cookie; shown below are Gigantoid Peanut Butter Oatmeal and Sparkled Ginger cookies, both also from VwaV

Happy New Year to all!
