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…

Caramelized Onion Chicken

by | May 22, 2023 | 6 comment(s)

It might take a couple extra steps–but this dish is that “notch up” chicken you’ve been missing on the menu. One afternoon, I set out to make Chicken Marsala for dinner. I didn’t, though, like the look of the mushrooms I had on hand. It was time to improvise. I worked with the remaining ingredients…

Dairy Caramel Apple Galette

by | May 15, 2023 | 12 comment(s)

You might want to make a triple batch (count on one galette being finished when it comes out of the oven). (Plus: This is an egg-free dessert.) There’s a few special things about this galette. One: dairy pastry dough. When else do you get to enjoy a dough made with real butter? It’s worth it,…

Really, the concept is simple and it’s not new. Chocolate chip cookie dough on the bottom. Cheesecake filling. More chocolate chip cookie dough crumbled on the top.  It…

Hot Dog Burnt Ends

by | May 07, 2023 | 5 comment(s)

This checks all the boxes: family-friendly, quick-to-prep, cost-effective…and best of all, deliciously smokey. I’m not sure if it’s just food people (food writers, avid cooks… ) that go through food phases.  One example might be obsessing over a particular salad combination and making it over and over again. Or creating different variations of a similar…

Sweet Romanian Eggplant Dip

by | March 31, 2023 | 3 comment(s)

The #1 most made Pesach dip Since this recipe was first featured here six years ago, it’s been the #1 must-have go-to among us at BCP. It goes on all of our Pesach menus, every single year. We love it because it’s loaded with fresh flavor, yet it’s still light and healthy (unlike the heavier…

Crispy Pargiyot over Caulirice and Israeli Salad

by | March 28, 2023 | 6 comment(s)

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…
