There are some traditional items we do not mess with! These blintzes are here to stay, just as they are. Every family seems to have their own Yom Tov recipe that has become a tradition, and this is ours. It’s one of those family nostalgic recipes that my mother has been making for forever. It…

Dairy Caramel Apple Galette
You might want to make a triple batch (count on one galette being finished when it comes out of the oven). (Plus: This is an egg-free dessert.) There’s a few special things about this galette. One: dairy pastry dough. When else do you get to enjoy a dough made with real butter? It’s worth it,…
Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Squares
Chocolate chip cookies. Cheesecake. It’s really such a classic combination. This is an easy one you can stick in your freezer today and check off your list. Really, the concept is simple and it’s not new. Chocolate chip cookie dough on the bottom. Cheesecake filling. More chocolate chip cookie dough crumbled on the top. It…
Gravy Fries
They’re an easy, flavorful, and fun casual side. Looking for something fun to serve everyone? These gravy fries are super popular with teenagers. Gravy fries and burgers make the best combo and are a perfect Chol Hamoed Dinner. Serve with crushed tomatoes and Israeli salad for a complete meal. Make the gravy ahead of time…
Kim’s Pesach Cookie
Kim Kushner’s “Mimi’s Cookies” went viral last Pesach–in case you missed it, here it is! Kim Kushner’s readers went crazy over this cookie last year. And so we knew it was a must-try… especially since the ingredients are so simple, you may already have shopped them before seeing the recipe. Another reason why we love…
Seder Night Flanken
Easy to prep and foolproof–you’ll love these slow-cooked strips of flanken. The first time I featured this recipe on my page, I received some feedback: “I thought you can’t cook meat in the oven for Seder night, it’s roasting, etc. I always thought you have to make everything on the stovetop”. To make sure, I…
How to Cook and Serve Tongue
Using this method, you can stretch a tongue and impress your guests with an elegant start to your meal. When you prepare and serve this way, we found that one tongue is enough for 12-14 appetizers! It’ll look super impressive–but is not that hard to prepare. (Let’s just say, it’s way easier than rolling blintzes!). …
Crock-Pot Overnight Potato Kugel Hack (Freezer Version)
The easiest way to get a fresh overnight potato kugel on Yom Tov. We can’t believe we’re sharing another overnight kugel recipe, but when we heard there’s a new “Chantzy W hack” we knew we were going to be making it this Pesach–and of, course, we’d have to share it with you. What are the…
3-Ingredient Gluten-Free Cookies
A perfect munch… really satisfying cookies that are a cinch to make. This one comes from the same recipe book as these 2-Ingredient Date Balls, courtesy of my mother-in-law (thank you!). And it’s just as simple, with only three ingredients this time. They’re sweet and have a great texture, which makes them so enjoyable. Start…
Flanken Roast Over Potatoes
The recipe is so easy and so good, you’ll make it over and over and will never have to look back at this recipe again! For awhile, I was obsessed with preparing another recipe on Between Carpools, this 9×13: Slow Cooked Minute Steaks and Yukon Gold by Esty Wolbe. Yes, we’d change up the cut…
