Halloumi Eggplant Salad
|

You can make this a salad or make it a complete meal – halloumi is just so good, it’s ready to be the star. Halloumi is so good 😉 Just so good. And it’s so much more versatile than any other cheese because you don’t have to worry about it melting. But it’s still amazing…

How to Make an Avocado Board (Perfect for Shalosh Seudos)
It’s easier than you think to create this gorgeous avocado platter to bring to the table. Serve it for Seudah Shelishit!

Fun Crunchy Sesame Cucumbers
Everyone will eat these up because they’re so good (and they must be healthy because, after all, they’re cucumbers, right?). But they’re totally not. Anyways, it’s Chanukah, when everything has a little oil. So, people come to your Chanukah party, and they’re on a diet so they don’t eat the donuts. Instead, they eat the…

Sushi Cups
The absolute easiest way to serve sushi – and no one is tired of them yet. When I first featured this recipe years ago, sushi was a new thing. I remember serving it at an upsherin and it was so “new” and “cool.” But, guess what? Sushi’s popularity never went away. And these little Sushi…

Nut-Free Granola aka The Best Kids Back-to-School Granola

It takes only minutes to prepare, but will come to the rescue for so many healthy (yet fun) snacks or meals. When I was a teenager, the only thing teens baked were cakes and cookies.

Japanese Sweet Potato & Feta Salad
It’s simple, but all you need are these sweet potatoes as the star. I really, really enjoy Japanese sweet potatoes, more than regular potatoes, sweet potatoes, or any other type. True, they’re not in every grocery, but they’re available in enough places (I can think of three places that I often shop at that carry…

Cilantro Lime Roasted Corn & Avocado Salad
This one uses canned corn, but you’d never know. I have so many things to say about this recipe! First, I know that cilantro usually has a “Ew we don’t eat that” type of reputation in some cooking circles and I was also totally like “I’ll sub parsley or basil” (which you totally could) too…

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…

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,…
