Ocean City, a peninsula jutting out of Maryland, was the most awesome Overnight Chol Hamoed trip we took. In relative close proximity of most big communities in the tri-state area, it offers an amazing beach experience without the issues of pritzus or the hordes of people crowding the place. In general, I prefer beaches during…

The Eggplant Carpaccio Shortcut
Nobody will guess how easy to prep this really is. Add it to your menu today. Leah and Renee have been serving up this hack all summer long, and, as a result, sharing this recipe, which isn’t even a recipe, with all those who subsequently asked for the recipe. It’s that good. It’s the type that…
How to Apologize
It’s not always so easy to say “I’m Sorry,” (especially if you were right!) It’s that time of year, when we work toward cleaning our slate both bein adam l’Makom and bein adam l’chaveiro. And while hurts and grudges shouldn’t necessarily be left to fester until just before Yom Kippur, if you haven’t made up…
Top Picks From This Season’s Jewish Book Releases
There’s great new book choices for little kids, big kids, teens, and adults in every genre When your Yom Tov prep is finally over and you have a few minutes to yourself between the serving and clearing, you want to sit down with a good book (and that’s more enjoyable when the kids are also…
Ramen Crunch Salad with Turkey
It’s the salad that kids and adults both love. My kids are obsessed with Ramen Noodles. If it was up to them they would eat these noodles every single day for breakfast, lunch and supper. However, since they have a mom, their life isn’t that much fun. When it comes to Shabbos and Yom Tov,…
Crispy Onions Club Steaks
Great taste and a great meat main with a five minute prep. I’m all for making meats with some great made-from-scratch sauces, like this Amazing Flanken roast with shallot sauce. Sometimes, though, you just need a quick recipe that uses store-bought ingredients yet still has great flavor. This recipe also works really well with short ribs….
This Just In: TO Boys Flex Pants Are Now In Stock!
Your boys have been asking and asking. But they fly off the shelves as soon as they come in. Now you can get your TO Flex Pants first! We first introduced you to T.O. Stretch Pants at His Place last year back in this post. At the time, we were eagerly awaiting the arrival of…
Kosher KopyKat: Lamb Riblets with Char Siu Sauce
Lamb riblets aren’t nearly as expensive as baby lamb–but they can taste just as good if you know how to prepare them right. The first time I prepared lamb riblets, they were verifiably, a flop. I didn’t realize just how low and slow they needed to go. They were hard, and, covered by a layer…
Herb and Garlic Roasted Chicken, With Orange Pomegranate Gremolata
A bright and savory chicken that is not boring in taste or presentation. This chicken dish is Yom Tov worthy. It is elegant, beautiful to the eye, and delicious as well. This isn’t your typical overcooked chicken on the bone. This chicken roasts for only 30-40 minutes which will change the way you think of…
Kids Can Entertain Themselves with Single Player Games
Keeping kids happy and getting some time of your own can be as simple as a new game for one. EDITOR’s NOTE: Even though it is useful for anytime, we originally posted this roundup prior to Yom Kippur. While we all know that when our children are young, our primary focus on Yom Kippur will…
