Why didn’t we think of this before? The one pan, no mess, family-friendly chicken dinner that everyone will love. One of the team members recently asked the others, “Do you remember how long we used to spend cooking dinner?” As newlyweds, dinner used to take all day to make. Then we learned to make dinner…
Basics: Cheese Kreplach
Whether you want the shortcut version or you’ll roll up your sleeves and make them from scratch, you can make your own kreplach. Kreplach may be that one recipe that you don’t make. You either buy it, or wait for your mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, aunt, adopted mom, Rebbetzin… really anyone OLDER than you who knows…
Hot Dog Burnt Ends
This checks all the boxes: family-friendly, quick-to-prep, cost-effective…and best of all, deliciously smokey. I’m not sure if it’s just food people (food writers, avid cooks… ) that go through food phases. One example might be obsessing over a particular salad combination and making it over and over again. Or creating different variations of a similar…
Chili Lime Poppers
It’s always great to have more versions of your favorites. Our oven baked hot poppers from Dinner Done is hands down our family’s favorite recipe. This winter, I changed things up by using a new sauce on the poppers, creating BBQ Sticky Poppers. Yes, I know that when you find a good recipe that the…
Gravy Fries
They’re an easy, flavorful, and fun casual side. Looking for something fun to serve everyone? These gravy fries are super popular with teenagers. Gravy fries and burgers make the best combo and are a perfect Chol Hamoed Dinner. Serve with crushed tomatoes and Israeli salad for a complete meal. Make the gravy ahead of time…
Mock Techina
The nutty dip that fills in for a favorite. Years ago, I first learned about this concept when one of my neighbor’s mothers-in-law came for Pesach. Since then, it’s been a Pesach staple. While it was originally published in Passover Made Easy, I’ve double the recipe here because it makes it much easier to blend….
Creamy Avocado Dip
It’s simple, but it’s definitely a staple. Back in 2017, we posted all our favorite Pesach dips together in two posts, with a few dips in each post. These are more than staples–they’re annual must haves. Because of the format of our new recipe index’s search features, we’re separating these dips into their own posts…
Sweet Romanian Eggplant Dip
The #1 most made Pesach dip Since this recipe was first featured here six years ago, it’s been the #1 must-have go-to among us at BCP. It goes on all of our Pesach menus, every single year. We love it because it’s loaded with fresh flavor, yet it’s still light and healthy (unlike the heavier…
Pesach and Shabbos
What do you serve on Chol Hamoed Shabbos on Pesach? When Pesach Chol Hamoed Shabbos falls at the end of a three day Yom Tov, it’s a tricky one. When it’s another Yom Tov, it’s simple–you simply put up your regular cholent and you’re good to go. But what do you serve on Pesach to…
Rudy’s Eggplant Salad
A pure and delicious eggplant salad with the simplest of ingredients. There are two types of great cooks. Some have knowledge of cooking before they officially start (perhaps they built up their knowledge little by little). Others knew nothing–they didn’t even know how to boil water for pasta before learning and catching on quickly. Rudy…
