This one has become one of my go-to easy Shabbos day salmon recipes. With fresh herbs and served cold, it’s light, bright and perfect for a summer lunch. I was trying to track down the origin of this recipe, so I could share it with all of you. I’ve been making it for years and…

Basics: Cheese Kreplach
Whether you want the shortcut version or you’ll roll up your sleeves and make them from scratch, you can make your own kreplach. Kreplach may be that one recipe that you don’t make. You either buy it, or wait for your mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, aunt, adopted mom, Rebbetzin… really anyone OLDER than you who knows…
Cheesy Potato Blintzes
There are some traditional items we do not mess with! These blintzes are here to stay, just as they are. Every family seems to have their own Yom Tov recipe that has become a tradition, and this is ours. It’s one of those family nostalgic recipes that my mother has been making for forever. It…
Hot Dog Burnt Ends
This checks all the boxes: family-friendly, quick-to-prep, cost-effective…and best of all, deliciously smokey. I’m not sure if it’s just food people (food writers, avid cooks… ) that go through food phases. One example might be obsessing over a particular salad combination and making it over and over again. Or creating different variations of a similar…
How to Cook and Serve Tongue
Using this method, you can stretch a tongue and impress your guests with an elegant start to your meal. When you prepare and serve this way, we found that one tongue is enough for 12-14 appetizers! It’ll look super impressive–but is not that hard to prepare. (Let’s just say, it’s way easier than rolling blintzes!). …
Chablis-Infused Salmon
Also known as “White Wine Salmon” (but don’t substitute with just any white wine!) This started out as a cherished Pesach recipe in my family. And when I say “my family” I mean, my family. As in, not my husband’s family. That’s because I married into a tradition that doesn’t do fish on Pesach. At…
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…
Chevy’s Pistachio Salmon
A sweet sauce, a savory crunch…it’s classic and fresh in one salmon dish. My sisters-in-law really deserve a lot of credit. Since I’ve been sharing so many recipes for years, of course I’m constantly asking them for their latest and greatest. I pick their brains and ask what they’re cooking lately. “Anything new? And can…
Sushi Donuts
Make it a fun family activity, a special Chanukah dinner, or even a Chanukah party program…whichever way you go, you are guaranteed a delicious experience. By now, you have probably seen sushi donuts sold in many sushi restaurants or take outs, especially this time of year. They look very pretty and hard to do. But,…
Daniella’s Panko-Topped Kale Salad from Best of Kosher
This salad by Daniella Silver in Best of Kosher is one of our favorites… some of us are just addicted. While we were working on Best of Kosher, we thought that we would find that we were already familiar with all the “favorites!” After all, we’re food writers. We should know about all the famous…
