Tired of the same old Hanukkah food? When people think about Jewish recipes, on of the first things to come to mind is the potato latke, if not lox and bagels. But we're here to prove that Jewish food can hold a few surprises. Go beyond the usual potato latke into some unique Hanukkah recipes to find Latkes and toppings that are a little more exotic, yet traditional at the same time. Maybe even find a latke recipe that's a little healthier than the old comfort food standards, but tastes just as good if not better! Here are some of my holiday favorites, many of them Middle-Eastern influenced --to the delight of those with tastes that tend towards the spicier side!

Natural Beeswax Candle - Chanukah 44 ea

Let the lights of Hanukkah dance a little longer! Beeswax candles burn HOURS longer (and cleaner) than the petroleum-based wax Hanukkah candles you get in most local supermarkets. Try them--I absolutely love their simple elegance and use them for all my Hanukkah parties--and so will you!
