Your kids will love this fun family activity, and you get to relax and be wined and dined, for once. This fun Chanukah evening activity is one of the best memories of my childhood. You might have “played this game” yourself, as a child, especially if you grew up in an out of town community,…

The 9×13 Life: One Pan Chicken Poppers
So good and so easy, perhaps you won’t ever go back to the original version of chicken fire poppers. We’re not sure we will either. At BCP, some people might say that we’ve been guilty of making a generation a bit lazier. After all, we can now all bake delicious cakes without taking out a…

Chanukah in Your Freezer? It’s Possible!
Did you know that you can totally prepare for Chanukah just like you would prepare for any other Yom Tov? Yes. And yes again. Chanukah can be a hectic time. Earlier dismissals, tired (read cranky) children (b’h so many different parties to attend!), high expectations (“what are we doing tonight Mommy??”) and less energy overall. …
