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…

Dairy Caramel Apple Galette
You might want to make a triple batch (count on one galette being finished when it comes out of the oven). (Plus: This is an egg-free dessert.) There’s a few special things about this galette. One: dairy pastry dough. When else do you get to enjoy a dough made with real butter? It’s worth it,…
Easy Summer Corn and Feta Salad
Enjoy it for Shavuos and then again and again all summer long. This fresh and bright salad will become a shalosh seudos favorite! We love corn on the cob in my house. And sometimes we buy too much of it. One Friday last summer we had a few extra ears that had to be cooked…
Lemony Lentil and Beet Salad
I’ve been a fan of this salad ever since I spotted it on someone else’s table. Many years ago, when I was a single girl in seminary, I was at Alice’s, a restaurant that used to be in Avenue U in Flatbush (no longer open), and I saw this salad come to someone’s table. It…
Creamy Avocado Dip
It’s simple, but it’s definitely a staple. Back in 2017, we posted all our favorite Pesach dips together in two posts, with a few dips in each post. These are more than staples–they’re annual must haves. Because of the format of our new recipe index’s search features, we’re separating these dips into their own posts…
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…

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…
Rainbow Quinoa Salad
This is my go to salad to send over to anyone hosting – as it’s so pretty and can easily be prepared in advance. Full of bright and nourishing veggies, this salad is bursting with a rainbow of colors – it makes the perfect edible centerpiece for Shalosh Seudos! I love that it can be…
Basics: Mac and Cheese
It really never gets old. Ever. We are definitely a noodle family. While my boys have outgrown the “pasta and only pasta” stage, they still don’t mind a fresh bowl of something cheesy and hot. The girls, however, still celebrate when pasta is on the menu and greatly prefer it over anything else. There are…
