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…

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…
How to Prepare a Pizza in an Ooni Pizza Oven

Frozen 9×13 Chocolate Bar Ice Cream
It’s sweet, it’s salty, and it’s the perfect ice cream treat to pull out for shalosh seudos (feeds a crowd!). I was in the supermarket one Friday afternoon – I had already gotten everything I needed. Then, just as my cart rounded the corner of the freezer aisle, something behind one of the doors caught…
The Perfect Shalosh Seudos: An Avocado Toast Bar
Do you want a special meal without extra advance prep? Serve delicious avocado toast for seudah shelishit.

How to DIY Ice Cream King Cones
Scooping ice cream when there’s a big crowd? No thanks. Instead, serve king cones to the kids (and the adults). I first served these king cones at a Chanukah party–and never mind the kids, the adults were grabbing them. And there were so many “pros” to this dessert! One–no ice cream scooping mess. Two–they’re so…
This Kinder Bueno Inspired Spread Will be Your Easiest Shavuos Addition
Drizzled on cheesecake or ice cream, or just by the spoonful, we love this decadent topping. When my family is in Israel, we always make sure to have some knafeh at the shuk. (For a homestyle recipe, check out this post.) We like it simple, with just the nut and shredded halvah toppings, but there…
Perfect for Breakfast: Farmer Cheese Cheesecake
Farmer Cheese Cheesecake is the cheesecake we love because it’s a change–the one we’ll enjoy for breakfast rather than dessert. This is the cheesecake that was on the table when I was growing up. As a kid, I admit, I didn’t really understand why the adults love it. Yet, my mother still made it–for herself!…
9×13 Life: Dairy White Chocolate Pretzel Blondies
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…
Cheesy Fries for Motzei Shabbos from the Really Fun-to-Read Dira Cookbook
The Dira Cookbook is not just a cookbook! You’ll be entertained just reading through it. Some of our teenage boys found The Dira Cookbook before we even had a chance to introduce it to them and read it cover to cover. They loved the no-nonsense approach to cooking, the realistic and familiar way of explaining a…
