Grapefruit + Pomegranate + Sorbet. You can’t go wrong with this light and refreshing way to end a Yom Tov meal. Pesach desserts tend to be high on sugar, nuts, eggs, or…all of the above combined.

Your kids will thank you when “Razzle Night” is the fun at-home activity of the day. We’re big Razzle fans, as for me, I’d gladly trade lunch and dinner for a Razzle. Everyone needs to treat themselves once in awhile. When my sister-in-law told me that, for one night of Chanukah, she was making…
