It’s the most gorgeous of appetizers and an absolute party in a platter. “Victoria, Shana our bookkeeper said she made the Chummus Platter from Leah Nagel of Truffles and Trends and she said it’s amazing. It’s very much your type. Do you want to try it?” Absolutely, I did. I had worked with Leah Nagel…

This Gluten Free Beef Risotto Can Become Your New Cholent
Easier on the stomach even for those who don’t have a gluten free diet, this risotto still has the classic Shabbos taste! We got this recipe from our friend who got it from her friend, who got it from her friend who created it because she wanted a lighter cholent. While some of us were…
Orange Glazed Salmon
This salmon is fresh, vibrant, plus takes only minutes to prepare. It might become your favorite weeknight dinner. Freshly baked (read hot) salmon is just better. We all know that. Now, did you know that skillet seared salmon is even better? Yes, it is. And it’s not scary to prepare at all. Pinky promise. Also,…
Creamy Butternut & Lentil Soup
Add some protein to your butternut squash soup…you might like this version more than the veggie-only version. How many years have you been making the same butternut squash soup? Forever? It’s simple, everyone likes it, and if you’re buying precut butternut squash (is that the vegetable that virtually everyone buys precut?) it’s really quick to…
What Do You Do With Leftover Chicken After Making Chicken Soup?
Turn that pale and boiled chicken into an amazing meal for another night. Growing up we called chicken that was used to flavor the chicken soup, “chicken of the sea.” My mother would never serve it. She knew all of my siblings wouldn’t touch it. Chicken of the sea was not for us. But then…
Ramen Crunch Salad with Turkey
It’s the salad that kids and adults both love. My kids are obsessed with Ramen Noodles. If it was up to them they would eat these noodles every single day for breakfast, lunch and supper. However, since they have a mom, their life isn’t that much fun. When it comes to Shabbos and Yom Tov,…
Herb and Garlic Roasted Chicken, With Orange Pomegranate Gremolata
A bright and savory chicken that is not boring in taste or presentation. This chicken dish is Yom Tov worthy. It is elegant, beautiful to the eye, and delicious as well. This isn’t your typical overcooked chicken on the bone. This chicken roasts for only 30-40 minutes which will change the way you think of…
Roasted Veggie Turbot Over Sweet Potatoes
This beautiful fish dish is fitting for Yom Tov-but it’s also a complete meal for any day of the week. The truth is, I originally made this because I hadn’t planned what to make. I had picked up some fish–but hadn’t decided on a recipe. Time was short. Dinner had to be served. I sliced…
Freezer-Friendly and Delicious Japanese Noodles
This side dish can be prepared in advance and frozen, and nobody will know. It’s delicious Japanese noodles that taste just as good fresh and they do when they’re rewarmed. Sometimes you just want to cook up one big recipe (maybe even double it), freeze it, and know that it’s done. We do that often with…
Pretzel Hot Dogs
Dinner can be a family activity. These are so delicious, and your whole family will love them. From young to old. This recipe is the perfect activity that ends up as a fun snack or dinner. Rolling the dough over the hot dogs is reminiscent of challah braiding but way easier for small hands to…
