A perfect way to kickstart soup season and give your family a warm hug. As a chef, and recipe developer I find creating soups to be more on the challenging side of recipe development. Creating soups is all about taking humble vegetables and transforming them into a hearty, and comforting dish that is packed with…

Scallion & Sesame Cauliflower Over Rice
Warm and comforting, a little different, and definitely dig-in-able. Sides are hard. You know it’s true because most caterers and restaurant chefs don’t manage to think of new and creative sides either. Sometimes they just seem so boring. Despite that, we’ve had some great sides here on BCP! This is especially true when it comes…
Family Table’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Decadence Dessert
You will want to bake these today and freeze them. You really should. When we get together, we tend to do a lot of schmoozing. It’s inevitable. Put 5 women around a table and you will get lots of non-tachlis talk. We used to try to minimize the chitchat (and on days with lots to…
Nut-Free Granola aka The Best Kids Back-to-School Granola
It takes only minutes to prepare, but will come to the rescue for so many healthy (yet fun) snacks or meals. When I was a teenager, the only thing teens baked were cakes and cookies. Today’s teens seem to be getting comfortable in the kitchen by preparing trendier foods. Think: Açaí bowls, energy balls, salads,…
Garlic and Wine Sauce Pasta with Salmon and Caper Berries
This dinner was created so we could eat caper berries – but they aren’t even necessary! I was having a salad at a restaurant in Israel when I came across something I’d never seen or tasted before. It tasted mostly like a caper, but it was like a caper on steroids! About the size of…
The 9×13 Life: Blueberry Cake with Crispy Sugar Streusel
Hot, fresh, and light. You’ve got enough energy to whip up this summery and fluffy Blueberry Cake. I think it’s about time we owed you all another 9×13 cake recipe, no? It’s almost a year since we gave you this 9×13 Chocolate Bar Ice Cream and it’s two years since this 9×13 S’Mores Frozen Dessert….
Watermelon-Strawberry Frozen Drink
“Tastes like Rita’s”–that’s what my kids said when I gave them a cold cup of freshly blended frozen drink. Yay! Moms, if you cringe at the amount of sugar consumption in the summer and wish refreshing treats could be wholesome, you’re going to love this recipe. There’s some technique here, so pay attention the first…
Cilantro Lime Roasted Corn & Avocado Salad
This one uses canned corn, but you’d never know. I have so many things to say about this recipe! First, I know that cilantro usually has a “Ew we don’t eat that” type of reputation in some cooking circles and I was also totally like “I’ll sub parsley or basil” (which you totally could) too…
Orange Creamsicle Ice Cream
We all need these easy, refreshing dessert hacks in the summertime. This one is vintage. It’s exactly the kind of dessert you want to start making and serving right about now. For us, this is a long time family favorite. How long? Do you remember these containers of orange juice concentrate? Yes, you might need…
Plastic Spoon Salmon
Because sometimes you really need a no-dish dish. Sometimes, you have a very specific need when you need to prepare a dish. And sometimes, that need is to make a grownup dish (perhaps it’s a night when the kids are having pizza or pasta) and you can’t think about taking out a real bowl or…
