Toasted Marshmallow Sandwich Cookies
These fun cookies with a marshmallow filling are a kid’s favorite (adults like them too but might not admit it). The first time I made these cookies, I had no grand plans. They didn’t need to go into my freezer for anything in particular, and they were available for the tasting. That meant they were…
Gluten Free Cookie Dough Bark
It’s just five ingredients and so simple, you can even bake it last minute on a Friday. Plus, it’s wholesome so you can feel good about this treat too. Editor’s Note: When deciding what recipe to feature from Rorie Weisberg’s newest book, written in collaboration with the talented Sara Goldstein of @tomatoestomatoes, More Food You…
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 No-Mixer Honey Cake
Mix it in a bowl, then bake it in a Bundt or loaf pan. This is the easiest honey cake you will ever make! This recipe started out as a 9 x 13 idea. We said, “Let’s see if we can create a 9 x 13 version of a honey cake?!” So we made one….
Dairy Kokosh Cake
This is the dairy, buttery, oozing with chocolate, and dense type of Kokosh Cake that we love. When I was growing up, we always made and enjoyed homemade babka or babka buns, and the recipe that my mother and siblings return to again and again is the one I published in Fresh and Easy Kosher…
The 5 Minute No Knead Artisanal Bread

Pesach Banana Muffins
At first, I was really skeptical. But these banana muffins turned out to be the most delicious bring-along item. One day during our pre-Pesach prep last year, my daughter came home with a recipe. “I’m making these,” she said. “My friend made them and she said they’re really good!” “Banana muffins?” I thought. “We’re never…

If you’re looking for a brownie, we’ve got that perfect, easy-to-make mix-in-the-9×13-inch-pan Pesach brownie right here. This is a bit different.

9×13 Life: The Cookie Crust Cheesecake for Pesach
This 9×13 cheesecake is perfect for breakfast and kosher for Pesach! Prep it in a bowl with just a whisk. Last Pesach, I had an epiphany. I would kasher my milchig oven and bake cheesecake. Why hadn’t I thought about it before? Cheesecake tastes the same year round. The ingredients are the same. Right? Well,…
