I'm in New Jersey myself! Although I moved here from Philly a few months ago. South Jersey to be exact.
Not as many delis right here as there were in Philly, but in Cherry Hill we have some good ones.
Have you ever made potato latkes in the oven using what I call the "fry-bake" method? They come out better than the old fat laden way and taste more potatoey too! I got the idea from "Healthy Jewish Cooking" cookbook, which turns the traditional recipes into low fat versions.
Happy Purim, btw!  Made hamantaschen yesterday, as low fat as I could.

I just bought my first soy ice cream--Vanilla Soy Dream. It has more fat than I'd like, but it tastes quite good. I swirled in a bit of cocoa powder so I could have chocolate. They make a chocolate chip one, but it has even more fat.

Chag Sameach! Cherry Hill--where exactly in Jersey is that? How did your Hamantaschen go? I totaly ruied my IBS diet eating some of the Shalach Manos I received (I teach kindergarten at a Day School so the kinderlach and I swapped treats--yummy--but painful!)
Hope you had a GREAT Purim Sameach!

My hamataschen came out really great! I had to use regular eggs (had no egg whites)...and low fat margarine...but they came out good. I was surprised at how easy they were to make!
Cherry Hill area is in southern NJ, about 20 mins from Philadelphia.
Take care!

I'm not actually IN Cherry Hill, I'm in Blackwood, about 15 mins south. I usually say "near Cherry Hill" because so far NO ONE has known where Blackwood was! (lol)

Ruchie - I don't understand the Yiddisha words! Please in English, por favor!
Cherry Hill is near Philadelphia, across the Delaware River. Since I married a goy, we don't observe Jewish Holidays. In fact, my sister and brother married out of our faith, too. We lived in an area where there were few Jews so that didn't leave us 3 kids much to choose from within our religion. And, my Dad wasn't a very religious man (his Mom died at birth and his Dad brought up all 4 boys with a broom handle!) He wouldn't let my Mom keep a Kosher house, either. Ergo, all religious upbringing went down the tubes. I'm lucky I turned out as good as I did!
It's nice to converse with someone of my own faith, albeit pretty non-existant!

Shandela! That's a BEAUTIFUL name!!! I LOVE IT! I didn't grow up in a Kosher home myself--although everyoen was Jewish--just not religious. My husband and I are quite frum (observant/Orthodox) even though we didn't grow up that way--and we LOVE it!
I was actually wondering about Cherry Hill in terms of the community there--are there many Shuls?
Thanks so much for writing--and for thinking of me with the kugel!! I haven't been able to eat kugel for months now--it would sure be great to have some!
I hope you had an AMAZING Purim! (Freilichen, btw, means happy)
Thakns again Shandela

Ruchie - (is that Yiddish for Ruth?) I've been gone from NJ for 25 years so what I knew then about Cherry Hill
Shuls probably doesn't fit today. Besides, we were poor and we went to a little Shul in Gloucester down by the river. The Shul in Haddonfield was too ritzy for us, my Mom said. And, besides we didn't have the money to go there either!
If you want me to list the other Jewish Food recipes in the cookbook, I will. Just let me know. They're okay for WW but probably have to be re-vamped for IBSers.
I'm not much on Jewish words, so bear with me. L'Haim!
