This cholent, inspired by a Moroccan Hamin, combines the best of both worlds! A bit over one year ago, I asked you all for your cholent ideas in this post and you all shared so many variations! Personally, my family was ready for something new and I had an invitation to experiment. One of the recipes I…

How to Make the Famous Kleiman Cholent
How we even have this cholent written down is also a story! When Between Carpools asked me for my family’s cholent recipe (apparently, it’s known to be an amazing cholent), I happened to have a copy of the recipe that was written down by hand years and years ago. Awhile back, one of the young…
Meatballs, the Easy Way. The 9×13 BCP Way.
What if we could make a family favorite dinner even easier? Here at Between Carpools we get lots of emails. Some are seeking advice (we do our best, and at times, add those topics to future posts we want to explore), some are taking the time to thank us for a post that helped their…

Beef and Broccoli
It takes minutes to prepare, and they’ll love you for preparing this: Beef and Broccoli. There’s no major story here. One of my kids requested beef and broccoli for dinner. But to make this a useful recipe for all of you, I wanted this beef and broccoli to be one that I could mostly prep…
How to Make Amazing Maple Bourbon Back Ribs
Back ribs are one of my favorite culinary secrets. They present beautifully and they taste like much more expensive meat. Once you know how to cook them, they’ll be one of your favorite secrets too. If you want to serve an impressive-looking piece of meat, but you don’t want to go for a flanken roast…
This Pareve Cholent Baked in the Oven in a 9×13 (and It’s Amazing!)
You can prep it in minutes, and the whole family will be full and happy (especially if they’re the type that typically needs their fleishigs). With a family that doesn’t eat many dairy foods, the nine days can be a bit challenging. I’ve always made pareve cholent for dinner on one of the days since…
Make a Hearty Spaghetti and Meat Sauce in One Pot
Because mothers of meat eaters need an easy dinner solution too. The One Pot Pasta Rose and One Pot Fettuccine Alfredo from Dinner Done have been frequent go-to’s over the past year (we’ve been making these recipes for longer than you have because there was the creating and testing process!). But some families (and some…
How to Serve a Perfectly Cooked Steak on Shabbos
It makes sense that we always prepare slow-braised meats for Shabbat. But is it even possible to have a medium-rare steak? Actually, yes. I remember, years ago, when my children were very young and not yet meat eaters, I would prepare a steak for my husband for the main dish on Friday night. We definitely…
No Oven On? Crock-Pot BBQ Brisket Is the Perfect Hot Main Dish
Put up this brisket ahead of time and it’s hot and ready when you need it. One of my personal favorite recipes in Dinner Done cookbook is the Oven-Smoked BBQ Brisket (page 130). I’ve made it so many times I even made a Pesach version (I will share it next Pesach!). I realized it freezes…
