A shortbread cookie, cheesecake layer, tart apples, oat crumble, generously topped with caramel–it’s a combination that’s too good to pass up. This isn’t a new recipe. I’ve been making these in the bar version for years. But I never thought to share because, one, this dessert is not my idea. It’s a classic popular dessert…

The No-Mixer Honey Cake
Mix it in a bowl, then bake it in a Bundt or loaf pan. This is the easiest honey cake you will ever make! This recipe started out as a 9 x 13 idea. We said, “Let’s see if we can create a 9 x 13 version of a honey cake?!” So we made 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…
Dairy Kokosh Cake
This is the dairy, buttery, oozing with chocolate, and dense type of Kokosh Cake that we love. When I was growing up, we always made and enjoyed homemade babka or babka buns, and the recipe that my mother and siblings return to again and again is the one I published in Fresh and Easy Kosher…

Because we finally figured out how to serve it without it looking like a sloppy mess. Did you ever wonder how to serve an overnight potato kugel without losing your Hungarian balebusta reputation? Ok fine, let’s not exaggerate. But also, these things really matter to me. I will not cook or serve something that isn’t…
Pesach Banana Muffins
At first, I was really skeptical. But these banana muffins turned out to be the most delicious bring-along item. One day during our pre-Pesach prep last year, my daughter came home with a recipe. “I’m making these,” she said. “My friend made them and she said they’re really good!” “Banana muffins?” I thought. “We’re never…

9×13 Life: The Cookie Crust Cheesecake for Pesach
This 9×13 cheesecake is perfect for breakfast and kosher for Pesach! Prep it in a bowl with just a whisk. Last Pesach, I had an epiphany. I would kasher my milchig oven and bake cheesecake. Why hadn’t I thought about it before? Cheesecake tastes the same year round. The ingredients are the same. Right? Well,…
Sweet and Tangy Pastrami
With just two ingredients and a hands-off cooking method, this pastrami couldn’t be an easier main course. The total package! It’s economical as far as meat is concerned, features just two ingredients (plus the meat), and is super crowd-pleasing. I got this recipe from a friend years ago and I can’t begin to tell you…
