If you fry one thing that’s not donuts or latkes, it’s this fried chicken. A couple of years ago, I received a photo of a handwritten recipe and the sender called it, “Mike’s Chicken.” Many of you know that Mikes Chicken Crunchers is a fried chicken takeout located in Lakewood, NJ. And it’s known to…

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…
The 9×13 Life: One Pan Chicken Poppers
So good and so easy, perhaps you won’t ever go back to the original version of chicken fire poppers. We’re not sure we will either. At BCP, some people might say that we’ve been guilty of making a generation a bit lazier. After all, we can now all bake delicious cakes without taking out a…
Salmon Arayes
There’s a bunch of reasons why I love this dish. Ok, we’re ready. Let’s make these Salmon Arayes now. Combine all the ingredients, from the little itty bitty salmon cubes down through the spices.

Silan Sweet Potato Fry Salad
A Tahini Dressing is the perfect match for these silan-roasted sweet potatoes. One day, Esti posted on our “BCP New Content” chat that she had made sweet potato fries that were particularly good. “Didn’t measure. French fry blade. Oil, teriyaki, silan, salt, garlic powder, sesame seeds. 425F for about 25 min. Yum!! Gonna put it…
Scallion & Sesame Cauliflower Over Rice
Warm and comforting, a little different, and definitely dig-in-able. Sides are hard. You know it’s true because most caterers and restaurant chefs don’t manage to think of new and creative sides either. Sometimes they just seem so boring. Despite that, we’ve had some great sides here on BCP! This is especially true when it comes…
Maple Soy Rotisserie-Style Chicken Thighs
Sweet and salty, quick and easy, and simply a great chicken. Whenever I catch myself walking past the rotisserie chicken stand in ShopRite or other big box stores of the like, I can’t help but lay my eyes on it for an extra couple of seconds thinking, “this cooking style makes chicken so good.” Was…

If you…
Garlic and Wine Sauce Pasta with Salmon and Caper Berries
This dinner was created so we could eat caper berries – but they aren’t even necessary! I was having a salad at a restaurant in Israel when I came across something I’d never seen or tasted before. It tasted mostly like a caper, but it was like a caper on steroids! About the size of…
