If you love pickles, you probably love a good pickle dip, too! Bring on the pickles! No, really. Any type of pickle – I’m your girl. You know the pickle plate at pretty much every simcha? I call dibs first. Half sour, full sour, dill, garlic, spicy – all good! And this isn’t even my…

The Warm Fall Harvest Salad
It’s nourishing salads like this, with whole grains and warm roasted veggies, that feel perfect for the season. For some reason, this salad ends up on my Sukkot menu year after year. Perhaps it’s the nourishing feeling of the farro. Even those who aren’t accustomed to eating farro, try it and love it–both the texture…
Chummus Bassar
You’ve tasted Chummus Bassar–the chummus dish with spiced ground meat–before. But this one is simply the best version. Editor’s Note: We first tasted Chayale’s Chummus Bassar when she had prepared it for a get together. We tasted it. It was simply better than any Chummus Bassar we had ever tasted (and we have tasted lots…
Pomegranate Leek Relish for Your Rosh Hashanah Simanim
Instead of making leek patties, we make this tangy relish that combines leek and pomegranate. I’ve never made leek patties for our Rosh Hashanah simanim. (We do have a recipe for them here on Between Carpools.) It’s not something my family would enjoy eating. For a few years I made Yussi Weisz’s leek and olive…

One Pot Shawarma Chicken and Rice
It’s back to school season and back to schedules. During summer schedules, having dinner time at a specific hour isn’t as important. Kids are busy and tend to eat when it’s convenient. But once school starts, and kids’ schedules are more rigid, it becomes more important to have a filling dinner ready when they walk…

Watermelon and Feta… Cake
Celebrate a birthday – or any special occasion – with a different kind of cake. Not everyone loves birthday cake. Is that blasphemous? For one of my kids, I try to come up with a different kind of “cake” for her birthday. Something she’ll really enjoy instead of just doing the cliched frosted cake. One…
That Perfect London Broil Summer Salad
Some salads are really a complete vibrant meal. I am ready to retire. My offspring have reached that stage in life where they take my recipes and make them better. Much better. I’m not sure if it’s a thing in your house but it’s definitely a thing in my house. My cookbook is used as…
