Vegan Challah Bread
Tonight I made challah for the first time since I was 19. It's not perfect. I want to braid it better and I like it a tiny, itty bit sweeter than it turned out. But... It's so close to perfect after almost 2 decades...
19 was the last time I heard the phrase "you're going to make an excellent wife" in that dismissive tone. 19 was the last time I was asked when I was going to get married and start having children. 19 was the last time anyone tried to set me up with anyone. 19 was the last time I let my family control my every decision and life choice.
I was divorced from my Judaism for such a long time after that. Because it hurt. Because I was abused. Because it was easier to assimilate. Because I needed to know who I was outside of my Judaism and my Jewish community. I never thought I'd make challah again...
And this challah? As not perfect as it is? I feel like my ancestors are looking down upon me with such pride, such happiness, and joy. Because I know that I always have Judaism.

Turns out that both gefilte fish & challah bread tastes really, really nice. To be polite I also drank the wine, first alcoholic drink I have ever touched in 30 years of life. Turns out that I don't like the taste the wine.
So thankful to them for letting me, an outsider take part. It was an educational & actually enjoyable experience.
Cooking With Christie: Pretzel Challah Buns
Inspiration: One of my new-to-me favorite cooking shows is Girl Meets Farm. So much so that when I spotted one of Molly Yeh’s cookbooks on the shelf of my local bookshop, I decided to make a purchase. Within Molly On The Range was Yeh’s challah bread recipe. However, the enclosed recipe makes two loaves — which is a lot of bread! Undoubtedly, aware that these loaves are huge, Yeh also offers…
