Hearty and Comforting Chunky Butternut Tomato Soup
There’s no blending and minimal chopping in this soup that both warms and fills you up. This is exactly the chunky hearty soup that you want to make on a chilly day. It checks the boxes for me and is totally suitable as a meal too. And–it rewarms well too. You might just need to…
Fun Crunchy Sesame Cucumbers
Everyone will eat these up because they’re so good (and they must be healthy because, after all, they’re cucumbers, right?). But they’re totally not.

Maple Soy Rotisserie-Style Chicken Thighs
Sweet and salty, quick and easy, and simply a great chicken.

Watermelon-Strawberry Frozen Drink
“Tastes like Rita’s”–that’s what my kids said when I gave them a cold cup of freshly blended frozen drink. Yay! Moms, if you cringe at the amount of sugar consumption in the summer and wish refreshing treats could be wholesome, you’re going to love this recipe.

Cilantro Lime Roasted Corn & Avocado Salad
This one uses canned corn, but you’d never know. I have so many things to say about this recipe! First, I know that cilantro usually has a “Ew we don’t eat that” type of reputation in some cooking circles and I was also totally like “I’ll sub parsley or basil” (which you totally could) too…
Balsamic Dill Salmon
This one has become one of my go-to easy Shabbos day salmon recipes. With fresh herbs and served cold, it’s light, bright and perfect for a summer lunch. I was trying to track down the origin of this recipe, so I could share it with all of you. I’ve been making it for years and…
