One reader found a cool upgrade to our Big Chocolate Chip Cookies. These are really great cookies. And we appreciated all those who tried them and enjoyed them too. Then one reader, Chaya, commented that she wanted to make the recipe as soon as it was posted, but found herself with too little chocolate chips….
Recipes
Roasted Chickpeas
Elevate your hummus/chummus plate (or how to keep it simple!) with roasted chickpeas. Chummus plates are a great item to serve as an appetizer, or on the table alongside the appetizer. Dressing up the traditional chummus plate is a great idea as well. Read our post on how to plate your hummus (+ 2 more…
The 9×13 Life: Sushi Rice in the Oven
Great rice; no sticky pot to deal with at the end. Sure, sushi is a fun meal that tends to please everyone (make some rice, choose your fillings). It’s useful in lots of recipes besides for sushi too. Some favorites include this Sushi Salad, or the kid-friendly favorite Avocado Crunch Sushi Roll from Dinner Done….
Easy Minestrone Soup
The quickest way to that classic pot of soup. I asked the rest of the Between Carpools team: does this count as a recipe if I used those bags of minestrone soup mix? And they said: Yes, of course! We’re not always in the mood to both chop and measure ingredients (just a little bit…
Caramel Date Truffles
Three ingredients. Beyond easy. Beyond yum. And so feel-good! I first served this on Pesach, but they became such a favorite that I now make them all year round – they’re really amazing, special, and the perfect thing to keep in the freezer to bring out for dessert. I love that they’re not junky –…
KitchenAid Challah (Egg-Free!)
It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s a really good challah, it mixes in a Kitchen Aid, and bonus: it uses 7 oz plastic cups to measure. I had called a friend for a dip recipe. And she was telling me how her family loves the dips course combined with the “soft, fluffy challah.” They sit over…
Rochie’s Cinnamon Snail Rolls
Extra challah dough? Kids can get busy making these Cinnamon Snail Rolls from “The KIDS Book of Challah.” I first introduced you to my newest book, “The KIDS Book of Challah.” last month, with two great ideas of what kids can make using challah dough. Now, this time, you’ll need to get out the mixer,…
Pizza, Cheese, or Broccoli Calzones
They’re easy to make ahead and the reward is crispy edges and cheesy, oozing filling. I don’t know why this is particularly a Syrian thing, but baby pizzas are a staple (perhaps because they’re the dairy alternative to lehme b’agine?). They’re at every formal dairy meal and break-the-fast. The mini versions are perhaps more common…
Sticky Barbecue Chicken Poppers
We love the classic Oven-Baked Hot Poppers from Dinner Done, but, yes, it is time for a new version! Before Dinner Done was released in November of 2022 we knew without a doubt that the most popular recipe would be the Oven Baked Hot Poppers (page 75). How did we know? Firstly because chicken cutlet…
