Who needs cake when the ices are just so good? UPDATE for 2023: I did not like the quality of the coconut milk available during the Pesach 2023 season. Hence, after the first couple batches, I made my mango sorbet rather with a mixture of fresh mango and simple syrup. I filled a 32 oz…

Enjoy this Apple Crumb Cake with coffee in the morning or warm with ice cream for dessert in the evening! I’m going to tell you what I really like about this cake. Let’s list them.

Gluten Free Chocolate Chunk Cookies for Pesach
When we came across this recipe from Tammy Israel, we knew we had to try it. Last year, Tammy shared this recipe over at @saladsnsweets. It seemed easy enough for a child to make, so I had my 10-year-old daughter give it a go. They were absolutely the best Pesach cookies we’d ever tried!! I…
This Plum Pie is Now a Pesach Favorite
It’s a favorite all year, and now the Pesach adaptation of our Plum Pie is a winner. Plus! Mix it right in the pan. Like always, the best Pesach recipes are the adaptations that we make from our favorites all year round. So last year, when my cousin Lany told me that her sister Leah Gottlieb…
How to Make Oven “Smoked” Brisket for Pesach
It might sound basic, but this cooking method yields a meat that everyone loves. One of my personal favorite recipes from Dinner Done Cookbook is the Smoked BBQ Brisket on page 130. I even created a Crockpot BBQ Brisket version (a version with BBQ sauce) here on BCP. Like I wrote in Dinner Done, in the…
Cheesy Fries for Motzei Shabbos from the Really Fun-to-Read Dira Cookbook
The Dira Cookbook is not just a cookbook! You’ll be entertained just reading through it. Some of our teenage boys found The Dira Cookbook before we even had a chance to introduce it to them and read it cover to cover. They loved the no-nonsense approach to cooking, the realistic and familiar way of explaining a…
Easy No-Bake Energy Protein Balls
We thought this was a passing trend. Until we tasted them. These are our favorite Energy/Protein Balls. I keep these in the freezer, my kids take them to go, and I’m thrilled they’re having something healthy and filling (they also think this is a treat). And I really enjoy them too. Ok, let’s make these…
Betty Crocker Everything Spice Salmon
It literally takes half the time. The hype is real. This round, red klutzy machine that you seriously cannot figure out where to store (you didn’t think you were alone on that, did you?) is actually a G-dsend. Yes. We all have ovens. And toasters. And frying pans. Yet we turn to Betty time and time again….
The Most Delicious Cauliflower Soup You Will Taste This Winter
Or maybe the most delicious cauliflower soup ever. And I say it with confidence. I know it’s that good because when foods are that good, this question inevitably pops up: “Is this dairy?” And no. This soup isn’t dairy. It’s just that good. You can garnish your soups with toasted bread, some of the roasted…
Cauliflower Rice & Avocado Salad – This One’s Good
Never liked cauliflower rice before? Finally, a dish where it’s really, really food. You’ll even want to eat the leftovers. It all started when I had a guest whom I knew would appreciate a cauliflower rice dish. I started off by sautéing an onion…because onions simply make things like cauliflower rice (or quinoa, like in…
