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…
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…
Basics: How To Make Garlic Confit
Also: how to make it in bulk and save time and money while doing so. I used to make garlic confit every Friday. Ever since my family was introduced to the goodness of hot challah (or sourdough) on a Friday night accompanied by garlic that is charred and caramelized just so that it spreads like…
Mock Techina
The nutty dip that fills in for a favorite. Years ago, I first learned about this concept when one of my neighbor’s mothers-in-law came for Pesach. Since then, it’s been a Pesach staple. While it was originally published in Passover Made Easy, I’ve double the recipe here because it makes it much easier to blend….
Crushed Tomato Dip
This is another basic and favorite over Pesach (and all year round). We’ve updated our Pesach dips with new photos! See this post for more background on our favorite dips. blend onion and garlic very well. Add tomatoes and blend just until there are no large chunks left but there is still a diced texture…
