Corn Muffin Tiramisu
Forget the ladyfingers. Forget the coffee even. This tiramisu-inspired dessert swaps ladyfingers for crisp cubes of corn muffin layered with a cheesecake cream. We are corn muffin fans. That’s especially true when it comes to the crispy tops. Some of us are guilty of taking off the top and leaving the bottoms (as if there’s…
Mini Fruit Pops
These Mini Fruit Pops are the best, most refreshing way to end a Yom Tov meal. Yom Tov meals are festive, joyous and at times… heavy. After an appetizer of these amazing pulled beef egg rolls, a soup and a main like this standing rib roast (I prepare it for Pesach the same way but…

The 9×13 Life: Easy Oven S’mores Bars
Everyone loves a good 9×13 dessert, and (almost) everyone loves s’mores. We decided to combine the two into one super easy, crowd-pleasing treat! S’mores are delicious, but they’re typically a mess. There’s lots of gooeyness and stickiness all around when kids are heating up marshmallows, then trying to quickly sandwich them between graham crackers while…
Outrageous Tropical Fruit Salad
You can make this one year round with fruits that you find at your corner grocery (and the freezer aisle!) I used to make a version of this salad years ago. It was my signature dish, and the funny part is, there is no cooking involved. Somehow, my guest always knew that there was a…

You can go with the favorite Yeshiva Donuts or Naomi TGIS’s Sufganiot. There’s also great hacks for making your donut dough in advance and freezing…
