Yes, this is actually a recipe. Even if you have schnitzel and cole slaw together all the time, tossed together as a salad, they’re just plain delicious. You might ask, “How is this a recipe?” Schnitzel and cole slaw probably the two most commonly served dishes across the Jewish world. They almost inevitably both make…
The 9×13 Life: Rice and Lentils (Mejadra)
If you’ve already been making this traditional rice and lentil dish, you will never make it in a pot again. And if you never tried it, you will still love it! Mejadra looks so simple…but it’s so good. It’s a traditional Syrian dish that’s often prepared during the Nine Days because it’s filling (lentils are…
Chocolate Crunch Butterfinger Ice Cream
Keep this chocolate cookie crunch and this butterfinger candy in the freezer all summer long for your summer dessert needs. Really, when I need to make a dessert that needs to be transported, I have a hard time. To me, dessert means ice cream and sorbet. And when it’s time to be creative and think…
The Shabbos Planner for Organized Types
It’s your worksheet for knowing exactly what you need to buy and cook, day by day of the week. I know that most of us make it to Shabbos every week without a worksheet like this, but I find it very helpful. It’s grounding. I don’t need to think. All I need to do is…
Cherry Praline Sundaes
You’ve never tasted ice cream like this before. With praline, dairy streusel, fresh cherries, and balsamic glaze, this is as flavorful as ice cream sundaes get. Really, I don’t remember how this combination came about. I was planning a sheva brachos and I was in the mood to be creative. It was the summertime, August…
Pear Parmesan Salad
This Pear Parmesan Salad with praline is that perfect, dairy salad that your guests (and you) look forward to. I turn back to this salad almost every time I’m hosting a dairy meal, and every single time, I start from scratch. “What did I do last time?” “What did I put in the dressing?” “How…
Crunchy Broccoli Slaw with Kale
This is the feel-good salad with barely any chopping required. If you see kosher broccoli slaw (made from the broccoli stems only) in your local supermarkets, this is what you should prepare with it. Honestly, I never was compelled to buy broccoli slaw because what would I do with it? I like my cole slaw…
2025 Post-Pesach Grocery Shopping Information
Where can you safely buy chametz after Pesach? Every year, the AKO (the umbrella organization of all kashrus organizations) updates the list of supermarkets to inform us of where it’s permissible to buy chametz. While we know that our local kosher supermarkets sell their chametz, it’s not always so clear when it comes to larger…

It’s Toveedo, the Jewish media subscription based website and app, that entered the scene in 2018. To have one safe place with only…
Pesach Ice Cream Sandwiches
Chocolate chip cookies, ice cream, and sprinkles are so much better together in this Pesach dessert. This is the perfect example of two things that are just ok on their own being way more amazing together. When I’m hosting a lot of people for a meal over Yom Tov, rather than be busy making lots…
