Don’t know where to start? Want to get some great dishes into the freezer? You can’t go wrong with these freezer-friendly Pesach favorites. While most get all their Pesach cooking done after turning over the kitchen a week or so beforehand, those who are lucky enough to have Pesach kitchens (or Pesach closets!) can head…

Basics: Pesach Duck Sauce
Once you have this basic in your fridge, there’s so many things you can do with it! This all-purpose condiment will save the day. Today, it’s hard to find a cooking ingredient that doesn’t have a kosher-for-Passover version. I sound old when I tell my children that when I was a kid, the only cookie…
Miriam (Pascal) Cohen’s Ultimate Pesach Vanilla Bundt Cake
It’s one bowl, no mixer, easy, foolproof Pesach cake! Editor’s Note: We’re very excited for the release of Miriam (Pascal) Cohen’s Real Life Pesach Cooking: Pesach Prep–and Pesach Food–for the Way You Live. Miriam’s recipes are always practical and many of them are soon to be iconic Pesach must-haves (that’s including this cake below!). Throughout…
The Best Meat Pizza with Pastrami and Facon
What could be better? Not much. Yes, we know. There is a meat pizza recipe in Dinner Done, but, full disclosure, this one is better. What can we say, some recipes showed up after Dinner Done went to print, you know? So, why is this one so much better? Honestly, we are not quite sure…
Sweet and Tangy Pastrami
With just two ingredients and a hands-off cooking method, this pastrami couldn’t be an easier main course. The total package! It’s economical as far as meat is concerned, features just two ingredients (plus the meat), and is super crowd-pleasing. I got this recipe from a friend years ago and I can’t begin to tell you…
How to Make Chocolate Magic Shell
I upgraded my Original Hot Fudge and now make a new version with a nuttier, healthier twist. Back in 2019 we wrote a series of posts on freezing. We each wrote what we like to keep in our freezer (or at least, try!) and looking back, these posts are still very relevant. Esti taught me…
The Perfect Brownie. Or Chocolate Cake Square.
How to glaze brownies or chocolate cake to perfection. Because, it’s all about the glaze. Every recipe has a story, right? Well, it turns out, so does every hack. And here it is. I once invited my sister over for Shabbos. I told her to take the week off and not bring a thing which,…
The 9×13 Life: Easy Oven S’mores Bars
Everyone loves a good 9×13 dessert, and (almost) everyone loves s’mores. We decided to combine the two into one super easy, crowd-pleasing treat! S’mores are delicious, but they’re typically a mess. There’s lots of gooeyness and stickiness all around when kids are heating up marshmallows, then trying to quickly sandwich them between graham crackers while…
Hearty Minestrone With Meatballs
Really, it’s called “Italian Wedding Soup” but with a name like that, we weren’t sure you would give it a try… Minestra is soup in Italian, and maritata means “married.” Minestra maritata ended up being called “wedding soup” but it’s definitely not served at Italian weddings. It’s just a marriage (and a very good one)…
Tangy BBQ Beef Jerky
Ever since we posted The Best Homemade Beef Jerky in summer 2023 we haven’t looked back. For all of us on the Between Carpools team, the Best Homemade Beef Jerky recipe has been a game changer. Yes, making your own beef jerky isn’t hard at all. The results are fabulous. And it costs much less…
