I love stuffing vegetables with yummy fillings—it looks lovely, and it tastes divine. This roasted acorn squash is no exception! While the squash cooks, you’ll whip up an easy, flavor-packed stuffing with Italian sausage, spinach, sweet piquillo peppers, and rich, melty cheeses. When it all comes together, your taste buds and your belly will be like, “Damn! You love me! You really love me.” 

Today, in my magic kitchen:  Spicy Korean Carrot Salad

Carrots, julienned and crisp. Red onion sliced thin. Then comes the magic — a punchy dressing of apple cider vinegar, gochugaru, tamari, garlic, and black pepper. Toss it all together for a salad that’s bright, fiery, and bursting with flavor. Quick to make, colorful to serve, and absolutely addictive!

✨ Perfect as a side, snack, or topper for rice bowls and wraps.

This is Mama Miche, and today in my magic kitchen: Cheese Blintz Casserole

This cheese blintz casserole is the perfect comfort meal: simple, satisfying, and delicious. Using store-bought cheese blintzes, a custard of eggs, butter, and sour cream, it bakes into a golden, creamy dish that feels celebratory yet effortless. It’s a classic way to welcome family and friends to the table —and it never fails to disappear quickly.

This is Mama Miche, and today in my Magic Kitchen: Peachy Mango Roast Cornish Hens.

Picture this: golden Cornish hens roasting in the oven, kissed with juicy mango, ripe peaches, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of Twice Stolen Spice™. It’s sweet, fragrant, and bursting with flavor. I love welcoming in the New Year with a dish that’s as sweet as honey on your tongue. Make this and make your kitchen magic! MMMK

This is Mama Miche, and today, in my magic kitchen: Alex Casey's Italian Sausage Soup 

There’s something timeless about a pot of Italian sausage soup simmering on the stove. This dish is more than just a meal—it’s a hug in a bowl, perfect for gathering the family on a chilly evening or serving as the heart of a simple, rustic dinner. With its bold flavors, hearty texture, and soul-warming broth, Italian sausage soup is filling and so satisfying.

This is Mama Miche, and today, in my magic kitchen: Smoked Turkey Leg

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a time for gathering, reflection, and savoring foods that symbolize hope, sweetness, and strength for the year ahead. While apples dipped in honey may take center stage at the table, a hearty main dish like smoked turkey legs brings depth and celebration to the holiday meal.

Smoking the legs infuses them with a deep, aromatic flavor that pairs beautifully with the sweet and symbolic dishes of the season—think pomegranate-glazed carrots, honey-roasted vegetables, and a golden round challah.

The slow smoking process brings out their natural succulence, making them a centerpiece dish that feels celebratory, comforting, and rooted in tradition—just the way Rosh Hashanah invites us to step forward into the year ahead.

This is Mama Miche, and today in My Magic Kitchen: Grilled Lobster Tails with Garlic Butter for Momster to celebrate her birthday, and Labor Day, 9/1/25

Butterflying lobster tails might feel fancy, but it’s just about confidence (and a good pair of kitchen shears). Slice the shell straight down the back, coax the meat up and out, then let it rest on top. Once prepped, a quick brush of oil, a sprinkle of Twice Stolen Spice™, and a hot grill do the rest. Five minutes for golden grill marks, a flip, and a kiss of garlic-lemon butter later—you’ve got lobster that’s tender, smoky, and celebration-worthy.

The 4th of July, or any summer gathering, simply begs for the irresistible allure of chicken wings. 

Each wing is generously coated with a classic combination of tangy mustard and sweet, golden honey, providing the perfect adhesive for our magical Memphis Mojo Rub™.

The anticipation builds with every passing minute, but we promise you, the wait is incredibly worth it. Make this and make your kitchen magic! MMMK

This is Mama Miche, and today in my Magic Kitchen: Kimchi Deviled Eggs

In our homeschool experience, we meet amazing, creative families, and one of them brought kimchi-deviled eggs to a homeschool presentation. They were tasty, and I was inspired to make them.

This is Mama Miche, and today in my Magic Kitchen: Zucchini Kugel Muffins

Passover Seder is a festive celebration of freedom and a symbolic, ritualized meal commemorating the Israelites' liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt. We eat specific foods in a structured order of events, including retelling the Exodus story. Behind every single Jewish holiday is this simple mantra, "We fought. We won! Let's eat!"  if you know you know, that in a rush to leave Egypt, the Israelites could not wait for bread to rise so nothing leavened is eaten during the week-long commemoration.

This is Mama Miche, and today in my Magic Kitchen: Salmon Croquettes (GF/DF)

I'm the Jew that does not love gefilte fish, especially from a jar. I've had homemade, which is slightly more palatable to my taste, but I would rather eat just about anything instead of what I call the hot dog of fish.
