We subbed half the butter with oil to get the butter flavor with less expense…this is one dairy bar you don’t need lots of new ingredients to make! There are some recipes in life that I avoid making simply because I love them too much and I would eat too much of them. There’s the…

Get the Whole Family Helping With Shabbos Preparation
Don’t do it all yourself: even the little ones can be pitching in to prepare for Shabbos. Getting ready for Shabbos is part of the routine of every single week. So why do our kids seem surprised every time we ask them to do a task before Shabbos?? It’s time to assign specific tasks to…
How to Make Yussi Weisz’s Coleslaw
It’s worth making from scratch: real, fresh shredded cabbage is nothing like its bagged sibling. I used to buy my coleslaw, every week, at Yussi’s Deli on Second Street. It was my favorite coleslaw. Then, Yussi opened his popular Snaps restaurant (read more about Yussi and see another recipe over here) and the ownership of the…
Fill Your Fridge with Quick Pickles for Pesach Snacking
If you miss your savory snacks on Pesach, these pickles are an easy crunchy alternative to yet another bag of potato chips. Salty wins over sweet in my house – except maybe when it comes to chocolate. So last Pesach I decided to experiment with making some pickles for everyone to snack on instead of…

Ready for more ideas? We love this look because it takes so little effort and looks so pretty! It’s really a great example of how…
Simple but Amazing: Slow Roasted Onion Chicken
Use the same recipe for any roast! This Onion Chicken (or Roast) is as simple and easy as can be. My kids call this “Bobby’s Chicken”–and there’s always a pan keeping warm in the oven on long summer Friday afternoons for Toameha. And even though it’s “Bobby’s Chicken” you’ll find some unrelated little kid’s in…
Make Refreshing Pineapple or Mango Sorbet for Dessert: 4 Ingredients!, fruit
Who needs cake when the ices are just so good? UPDATE for 2023: I did not like the quality of the coconut milk available during the Pesach 2023 season. Hence, after the first couple batches, I made my mango sorbet rather with a mixture of fresh mango and simple syrup. I filled a 32 oz…
