Funfetti Hamantaschen
Because kids don’t want prune or apricot anyway. We’re going to have a lot of fun today. Can’t you tell? Do sprinkles just make you happy? (Or, at least, do they make your kids happy?) Today, we’re going to make Funfetti Hamantaschen using a really simple hack and we’re really wondering why we never did…
No-Margarine Sugar Cookie
Prefer not using margarine? Or, want to bake and you simply don’t have it on hand? This is a great alternative. It’s a great dough to use for hamantaschen too! There’s lots of reasons why everyone would want an oil-based cookie or hamantaschen. One, it’s simply more convenient. You always have oil in the house,…

It’s easier than you think to create this gorgeous avocado platter to bring to the table. Serve it for Seudah Shelishit! A couple of years ago, I shared with you the backstory of this Avocado Toast Bar. There was one Shabbat when I was inspired to make Seudah Shelishit something enjoyable and beautiful–there should be…
Corn Riblets
You can make them at home. And, surprise, they taste even better than in any restaurant. I went to my WhatsApp history and actually looked this up, because it was kind of important for me to know, and yes, already back in the beginning of 2022 we wrote a corn riblets recipe. No, you never…
The 9×13 Life: Easy Oven S’mores Bars
Everyone loves a good 9×13 dessert, and (almost) everyone loves s’mores. We decided to combine the two into one super easy, crowd-pleasing treat! S’mores are delicious, but they’re typically a mess. There’s lots of gooeyness and stickiness all around when kids are heating up marshmallows, then trying to quickly sandwich them between graham crackers while…
