Green Bean, Tomato and Feta Cheese Salad
This Green Bean Salad is exactly what you want to eat this summer. One morning last Shavuos, I found myself with a package of trimmed green beans and no red onions. I really meant to prepare the Green Bean Salad from Dinner Done (page 258 if you are curious). It was even on my menu,…

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,…

Yes, you can make classic Hamantaschen….
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…

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…
