Add some protein to your butternut squash soup…you might like this version more than the veggie-only version. How many years have you been making the same butternut squash soup? Forever? It’s simple, everyone likes it, and if you’re buying precut butternut squash (is that the vegetable that virtually everyone buys precut?) it’s really quick to…

We Tested the Same Cookie Dough in Different Ovens. Results?
We always get asked: why did the recipe come out differently for me? Read on for the results of our cookie experiment. We often get emails and comments from readers who tell us, “I followed the recipe to the tee. The cooking time is wrong. My food was [fill in any of the following: burnt,…
What Do You Do With Leftover Chicken After Making Chicken Soup?
Turn that pale and boiled chicken into an amazing meal for another night. Growing up we called chicken that was used to flavor the chicken soup, “chicken of the sea.” My mother would never serve it. She knew all of my siblings wouldn’t touch it. Chicken of the sea was not for us. But then…
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…
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….
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…
Roasted Veggie Turbot Over Sweet Potatoes
This beautiful fish dish is fitting for Yom Tov–but it’s also a complete meal for any day of the week. The truth is, I originally made this because I hadn’t planned what to make. I had picked up some fish–but hadn’t decided on a recipe. Time was short. Dinner had to be served. I sliced…
Frozen Raspberry Crumb Bar Ice Cream Cups
You’ve never had a better version of ice cream and sorbet together. Ever since we published this recipe in Dinner Done (or perhaps, beginning when we were working on the book, I’ve been making this dessert on repeat, switching off between this and the coulis and crumbs. It’s really hard for me to remember what I…
