How to Make Amazing Maple Bourbon Back Ribs
Back ribs are one of my favorite culinary secrets. They present beautifully and they taste like much more expensive meat. Once you know how to cook them, they’ll be one of your favorite secrets too. If you want to serve an impressive-looking piece of meat, but you don’t want to go for a flanken roast…
Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake: Smells Like Fall, Tastes Like Yom Tov

Ready for Baking? Make and Freeze This Apple Crumb Galette
The crumbs are the perfect addition to this apple version of our popular galette. One of the first recipes ever published here on BCP was this fruit galette. In the past I’ve only made this recipe using plums. I would begin making them midsummer and freeze a few raw to be baked during the fall….
Pizza Dough Goes from Frozen to Ready to Roll in Two Minutes
Frozen pizza dough usually takes a couple of hours to thaw at room temperature. Or it takes two minutes in the microwave. There are some things in life that are so ‘duh’ that I wonder why it took me 17 years to figure out. But if I didn’t figure this out until now, then perhaps there’s…

If we need it now, it’s possible it will help someone else. During…
We Call This ‘The Snack Dessert,” and It’s Super Cool
It’s super easy to prepare, looks great, and everyone loves. First of all, when making this dessert, you need tall thin miniware (I’ve used taller and thinner than this at other times, and it looks even cooler when there’s those very distinctive layers. This was the best I could find this time). All the ingredients…
The 9×13 Life: Marble Cake
It typically uses a mixer and lots of bowls. It’s a marble cake. But not anymore. This marble cake is the easiest (and really delicious) version you’ve ever made. Everyone loves a good, fluffy marble cake. Preferably with a nice crust. A bit wet, but not too wet. You know what we mean here. But…
Make These Praline Ice Cream Sandwiches for a Quick and Easy Dessert
It doesn’t get much easier than these ice cream sandwiches for a special summer dessert! Before Shavuos, I walked past the specials department of my local supermarket and they had a display of sweetened condensed milk. I figured this could work for some kind of dairy dessert, so I put a jar in my cart….
Taste It and You’ll Love It: Refreshing Apricot Compote
You won’t believe how much you’ll enjoy this refreshing, light fruity apricot dessert. I used to avoid all smooth foods, or as I called them, “baby food.” I always preferred food with texture and crunch. But my mother-in-law makes the most amazing apple pineapple sauce that everyone loves and I gave it a try: and…
