9×13 meals don’t need to be basic. If you love one dish meals that are loaded with exotic flavor, you’ll love this Bukharian Green Rice & Beef dish, also known as “Baksh.” Traditionally, this rice is supposed to be green. I usually use 4-5 bunches to achieve that (but we’ve used less here to appeal…

Chocolate Granola is Our New Favorite Breakfast Treat
Enjoy it as a cereal with milk, or as an add-in to your yogurt. This is one granola that appeals to those who like wholesome foods and those who like sweet things alike. When I brought this granola to a Between Carpools photoshoot one day, I didn’t realize that it would become a favorite that…
Basics: One Bowl No Mixer Cupcakes
There is one basic every family needs. Why cupcakes? Because cupcakes are always a last minute thing. Need to send something to school party? Forgot someone’s birthday is coming up? Kids bored on Sunday? Cupcakes always come to the rescue. When we decided we needed a cupcake recipe for BCP I didn’t have to go…
The 9×13 Life: Outrageous Lotus Blondies
These are perhaps my favorite bar ever. And they couldn’t be easier to make. As long as you have a jar of Lotus Biscoff spread around, you’re good to go. When I looked at the list of our “Top 20” recipes of the past year (you can view the list here), I thought it…
BCP’s Top 20 Kosher Recipes for the Busy Jewish Woman
When we started BCP we spoke about sharing recipes that you share with your sister or friend.

Here and…

This White Chocolate Molten Cake May Be Better Than the Original
Oh, yum! There are few things that beat the classic chocolate molten cake dessert. This might be one of them.

It’s Hot, Cold, Creamy, and Crispy: Waffles with White Chocolate Mousse
The perfect dairy dessert is also easy to prepare! That’s because we’re beginning with Yitzy’s Pancake Batter. I don’t like fussing with desserts, but I still need to prepare them. That’s why I’m always looking for desserts that present well without entailing much work on my end (short of ordering them in). A while back…
The Perfect Make Ahead Roasted Veggie Salad
The work is already done – just toss and serve this Roasted Veggie Salad. For awhile, this salad has been my go-to for Yom Tov meals (minus the feta). It solves two problems. One, it solves the “side dish” problem as roasted vegetables usually need to be roasted fresh and served hot. That’s one item…
Babka Doughnuts are the Easiest-to-Prepare and Tastiest Donut Yet
Make these chocolate babka doughnuts today. And pop them in the freezer. You don’t need to see them again until it’s time to fry! Ok, I know what you are thinking. Every year food writers try to come up with a crazier doughnut then the year before. That’s not what I tried to do this…
