That easy, comes-together-in-minutes Chol Hamoed dinner that’s fresh and flavorful. I believe Pesach foods should be just as delicious as all year foods–no compromises. So my dinners for chol hamoed mirror my usual weeknight dinners with just slight adaptations. Here I baked pargiyot (skinless, boneless chicken thighs) because they’re incredibly tender and juicy, then chopped…

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!). …
Crispy Zucchini Garnish
Easy to make + a big upgrade to your dish. Pesach is the time of year that we stick to the basics. After making Pesach for many years, I have a list of items I know everyone loves. They’re specialties we save for Pesach so that no one gets tired of them (yes, like lemon…
Chablis-Infused Salmon
Also known as “White Wine Salmon” (but don’t substitute with just any white wine!) This started out as a cherished Pesach recipe in my family. And when I say “my family” I mean, my family. As in, not my husband’s family. That’s because I married into a tradition that doesn’t do fish on Pesach. At…
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…
Caramelized Pearl or Cipollini Onions
This is the perfect side dish to your steaks and other meats. Steaks are one of my favorite mains to serve, especially when there’s a long Yom Tov and a lot of meals–everyone appreciates something grilled fresh (even if it’s on a grill pan) as a change from those long braised meats. There’s more about…
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…
