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…
Our Top 10 Freezer-Friendly Dishes We Make for Yom Tov
They’re the Yom Tov dishes we make the most often. And they all can be made and frozen right now. Now that the kids are off, I’m ready to make my Yom Tov menu. And while there’s plenty of work to catch up on, at least there’s a good shot that we can actually get…
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…

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…
Potato Kugel in the Betty Crocker
Get potato kugel really quickly (and really crispy) in your Betty Crocker. We’ve been bitten by the Betty Crocker pizza maker bug and love sharing our Betty Crocker “recipes” (recipes in quotes because you don’t really need a recipe for most of the Betty Crocker cooking. Let’s start with the basics. The Betty Crocker pizza maker (or just…
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 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…
