These fun cookies with a marshmallow filling are a kid’s favorite (adults like them too but might not admit it). The first time I made these cookies, I had no grand plans. They didn’t need to go into my freezer for anything in particular, and they were available for the tasting. That meant they were…
Bruschetta With Cheese
These gorgeous bruschetta are the perfect dairy item for your party. They look beautiful, they’re delicious, and yes, they’re actually easy to prep. (You can do it!)

The Warm Fall Harvest Salad
It’s nourishing salads like this, with whole grains and warm roasted veggies, that feel perfect for the season. For some reason, this salad ends up on my Sukkot menu year after year. Perhaps it’s the nourishing feeling of the farro. Even those who aren’t accustomed to eating farro, try it and love it–both the texture…

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Ramekins (Pareve)
A shortbread cookie, cheesecake layer, tart apples, oat crumble, generously topped with caramel–it’s a combination that’s too good to pass up. This isn’t a new recipe. I’ve been making these in the bar version for years. But I never thought to share because, one, this dessert is not my idea. It’s a classic popular dessert…
