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…

Kosher Kopykat: The Bissli Schnitzel That the Kids (and Adults) Love
I discovered these chicken fingers at The Bucket in Woodridge and recreated an inspired version in my Lakewood kitchen. I ordered these chicken fingers during one of our last meals up in the Mountains last summer…and it was a good thing because I found myself going back for another round. It’s made with super snacks,…
The Tried-and-True Beer-Braised BBQ Brisket
The best recipes are always the ones that came from a friend who got it from another friend. This brisket is one of those. When my friend E. told me how she makes her brisket, she couldn’t really tell me where it came from. It was one of those handwritten recipes in her notebook that…
Tortilla Hamantaschen That Taste As Good As They Look
Say hello to your new Purim appetizer. Back in 2016 I wrote a cookbook, Our Table, and within the most popular recipes, the Spiced Meat Envelopes simply stood out. It seemed like everyone was preparing them. And I did too, for my family. This appetizer was particularly popular with kids, somehow. And moms love it when…
How to Make Victoria’s Hamin-Inspired Cholent
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…
A Super Flavorful Zucchini Soup with Turkey Broth
No more bland zucchini soup. Turkey bones is the secret to a richly flavorful soup. Zucchini soups have a long reputation for being bland when they’re not being helped by artificial flavorings. Since zucchini is a vegetable with subtle flavor, it could really use help to shine. This time leave your onion soup mix in…
Sweet Buffalo Schnitzel Sandwiches (Family-Friendly!)
From the teenage boys to the little kids too, everyone loves this not-too-spice sweet Buffalo schnitzel sandwich. There’s a few people to credit for this recipe. The first credit goes to my four-year-old. One night, when everyone was complaining about the dinner, that little girl had the most unique complaint. She was walking around and…
