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.

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…
Balsamic Dill Salmon
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…
Lemony Lentil and Beet Salad
I’ve been a fan of this salad ever since I spotted it on someone else’s table. Many years ago, when I was a single girl in seminary, I was at Alice’s, a restaurant that used to be in Avenue U in Flatbush (no longer open), and I saw this salad come to someone’s table. It…
Bring Some Excitement To Your Table This Lag B’Omer!
A real fire, right on your plate. And it’s so easy! I was sitting by an event a few months ago; it was very elegant and the caterer did a phenomenal job with each and every course. Each dish was better than the next. How was this amazing meal going to end? Dessert showed up,…
Feel Good Crunchy Bean Salad
The gorgeous bean salad you’ll actually love (and look forward to enjoying). To me, bean salads were always old-fashioned, cop-out, straight-from-the-can processed types of salads that I would never want to touch. Not this one.Totally not. It’s a shame that beans get neglected because they could totally be amazing and so healthy. This is not…
