Affogato Coffee Dessert
|
With nothing to prep ahead, this Affogato Coffee Dessert is one that you can prepare on the spot. This is the perfect light ending to a meal. So much so that I find myself preparing it over and over again. I originally thought to make this on Shavuos to give the men an extra boost…

Sesame Dip
With lots of sesame flavor, this sesame dip will be your go-to with challah. Sesame dip used to be one of those I would buy weekly. One day, while standing in the aisle of the grocery, I thought to myself, “This is just sesame seeds and mayo–why am I buying it? Why don’t I just…

The 9 x 13 Life: The Amaretto Cake (or, the Orange Juice Cake)
We skipped the Amaretto, but added convenience. This cake is probably the oldest one in my handwritten cookbook. Do you remember those binders, with flashcards for writing down recipes? I know, I’m dating myself here, and that’s ok. I’m sure that most of you here do not know what I’m talking about unless your Mom…

The Warm Fall Harvest Salad
It’s nourishing salads like this, with whole grains and warm roasted veggies, that feel perfect for the season. For some reason, this salad ends up on my Sukkot menu year after year. Perhaps it’s the nourishing feeling of the farro. Even those who aren’t accustomed to eating farro, try it and love it–both the texture…

Chummus Bassar

You’ve tasted Chummus Bassar–the chummus dish with spiced ground meat–before. But this one is simply the best version. Editor’s Note: We first tasted Chayale’s Chummus Bassar when she had prepared it for a get together. We tasted it. It was simply better than any Chummus Bassar we had ever tasted (and we have tasted lots…

Pavlovas With Lemon Curd Cream and Berries

Pavlovas are a show-stopping meringue dessert, and this one is filled with lemony goodness and berries–everyone has room for it. If you know me, you know that I have something for lemons, and….meringue. It’s that delicate but vibrant flavor that just “does it.” Add some fresh berries, and who can resist? We always have room…

Pomegranate Leek Relish for Your Rosh Hashanah Simanim
Instead of making leek patties, we make this tangy relish that combines leek and pomegranate. I’ve never made leek patties for our Rosh Hashanah simanim. (We do have a recipe for them here on Between Carpools.) It’s not something my family would enjoy eating. For a few years I made Yussi Weisz’s leek and olive…

Savory Onion and Garlic Brisket
Have you been searching for that savory roast without loads of sugar? Slow cook this Onion and Garlic Brisket. Editors Note: When it come to brisket, with all the rises in meat prices over the last couple years, there’s been one holdout. It’s that second cut brisket. It’s still a good quality cut of meat…
