Coulis with Cheesecake Cream
|
Change up your coulis with a creamy, dairy addition. Ever since Renee and Leah wrote this recipe, it’s been hard for me to look past coulis when serving dessert on any Yom Tov. I use both the fruit version and the mango version as a base, and build the dessert up from there, making lots…

Lemony Lentil and Beet Salad
I’ve been a fan of this salad ever since I spotted it on someone else’s table. Many years ago, when I was a single girl in seminary, I was at Alice’s, a restaurant that used to be in Avenue U in Flatbush (no longer open), and I saw this salad come to someone’s table. It…

Feel Good Crunchy Bean Salad
The gorgeous bean salad you’ll actually love (and look forward to enjoying). To me, bean salads were always old-fashioned, cop-out, straight-from-the-can processed types of salads that I would never want to touch. Not this one.Totally not. It’s a shame that beans get neglected because they could totally be amazing and so healthy. This is not…

Vanilla-Cinnamon Babka Made with Challah Dough
You already have the dough. Just make the filling and this babka is ready to go. We can pull the meat out of the freezer (there’s still lots there). But if there’s one thing that’s going to be fresh tomorrow, it’s the challah. And if you want to add one more special (and chametzdike) thing…

Caramelized Pearl or Cipollini Onions
This is the perfect side dish to your steaks and other meats. Steaks are one of my favorite mains to serve, especially when there’s a long Yom Tov and a lot of meals–everyone appreciates something grilled fresh (even if it’s on a grill pan) as a change from those long braised meats. There’s more about…

Flanken Roast Over Potatoes
The recipe is so easy and so good, you’ll make it over and over and will never have to look back at this recipe again! For awhile, I was obsessed with preparing another recipe on Between Carpools, this 9×13: Slow Cooked Minute Steaks and Yukon Gold by Esty Wolbe. Yes, we’d change up the cut…

Mini Deli Wraps
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…
