These slices of wraps are pretty to serve, they’re light, have lots of flavor, and a great all-around pick-up item. It was at the cookbook launch party for Best of Kosher when were reminded about this presentation idea for wraps… and we loved it. Because when there’s lots of food on a buffet, you don’t…
Themes Where Kids Don’t Need to Match
Your kids can’t agree on one costume for Purim. But they still want some type of coordination. What can you do? We don’t really do themes. Perhaps it’s because we’re really out-of-towners at heart, or perhaps because I couldn’t ever imagine my children agreeing on one type of costume. For most years, Purim costumes went…
Caramel Date Truffles
Three ingredients. Beyond easy. Beyond yum. And so feel-good! I first served this on Pesach, but they became such a favorite that I now make them all year round – they’re really amazing, special, and the perfect thing to keep in the freezer to bring out for dessert. I love that they’re not junky –…
KitchenAid Challah (Egg-Free!)
It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s a really good challah, it mixes in a Kitchen Aid, and bonus: it uses 7 oz plastic cups to measure. I had called a friend for a dip recipe. And she was telling me how her family loves the dips course combined with the “soft, fluffy challah.” They sit over…
Pizza, Cheese, or Broccoli Calzones
They’re easy to make ahead and the reward is crispy edges and cheesy, oozing filling. I don’t know why this is particularly a Syrian thing, but baby pizzas are a staple (perhaps because they’re the dairy alternative to lehme b’agine?). They’re at every formal dairy meal and break-the-fast. The mini versions are perhaps more common…
Tangy Pulled Baby Chicken Crock-Pot Sandwiches
Make a sauce. Dump it in the pot. And come home to dinner. Here at Between Carpools, we do have a nice selection of recipes you can make in your Crock-Pot. Not tons, but a bunch. But you always need more. Like we said in this popular slow cooker roundup, slow cooker recipes are hard…
Kosher KopyKat: Famous Cilantro-Lime Dressing
A dressing so good, you can eat it plain with a spoon. I first learned about this famous dressing one weekday afternoon. It was towards the end of vacation, and I had ordered a salad at a popular little health food spot in Surfside, Florida. The dressing was served in little condiment containers on the…
Outrageous Kanafe Ice Cream
There’s so much flavor in this (easy to prepare!) ice cream dessert, it’s hard to even begin describing it to you. I have had the concept of a knafeh ice cream simmering in my mind for a while now. But before we begin introducing this amazing dessert, I need to begin by crediting two other…
Roasted Veggie Chummus Platter
It’s the most gorgeous of appetizers and an absolute party in a platter. “Victoria, Shana our bookkeeper said she made the Chummus Platter from Leah Nagel of Truffles and Trends and she said it’s amazing. It’s very much your type. Do you want to try it?” Absolutely, I did. I had worked with Leah Nagel…
Churros
We knew we had to bring you this perfect-for-Chanukah item, straight from the fryer and straight from Best of Kosher. This recipe, originally from Everyday Secret Restaurant Recipes, made the cut when we were deciding which recipe from the book to include in Best of Kosher. Why? It’s been a favorite and a go-to ever…
