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…

Flanken Roast with Shallot Sauce
I’ve been making this version of Flanken Roast for almost nine years(!) and everyone still loves it. And–it happens to be absolutely perfect for Yom Tov too. Editor’s Note: While Flanken Roasts have become a super popular cut of meat, we realized that there weren’t many recipes featuring it on BCP. We have this BBQ/ketchup…
Kosher Kopykat: Turkey-Wrapped Dates
You may have tried these meat-filled and wrapped dates in a restaurant and thought: this is really gourmet. But perhaps you didn’t imagine just how easy peasy they are to recreate. Most of the time that I eat out at restaurants, I don’t come home with much inspiration. But then there’s the unique times where…
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…
How to Crisp Up That Baguette or Sourdough Bread
Nothing beats a fresh loaf. But when you have one left over, you can easily make it *almost* fresh again. Do you sometimes have leftover loaves that don’t seem quite as exciting the next day? Or do you like to shop/bake ahead of time and by the time you want to serve the bread, it’s…
The Best Classic Rugelach: Cocoa or Vanilla Flavors
You always wanted to have a go-to rugelach recipe. Whether you love the chocolate or vanilla versions, your rugelach will now finally be coming out of your own oven. (Perfect for break-the-fast!) As our kids grow up, they’ve become unofficial ambassadors for BCP. They help us out with posts like What Does My Daughter Need…
Another Mayonnaise-Free Dip: Super Easy Olive Tapenade
It doesn’t get easier than this olive spread that goes with any bread from challah to sourdough. If your family is like mine, you want a variety of dips that are not mayo-based. This olive tapenade has just four ingredients and none of them is mayonnaise! The most important thing when making this tapenade is…
Frozen 9×13 Chocolate Bar Ice Cream
It’s sweet, it’s salty, and it’s the perfect ice cream treat to pull out for shalosh seudos (feeds a crowd!). I was in the supermarket one Friday afternoon – I had already gotten everything I needed. Then, just as my cart rounded the corner of the freezer aisle, something behind one of the doors caught…
How to Freeze Pasta in Portions
Save the tantrums and always have pasta a minute away. C’mon, there’s one (at least!) in every family: that kid who will only eat pasta. No matter what else you make for dinner, they want noodles and only noodles. They jump for joy when you don’t have time to cook and make a pot of…
How to DIY Ice Cream King Cones
Scooping ice cream when there’s a big crowd? No thanks. Instead, serve king cones to the kids (and the adults). I first served these king cones at a Chanukah party–and never mind the kids, the adults were grabbing them. And there were so many “pros” to this dessert! One–no ice cream scooping mess. Two–they’re so…
