Should I Get a Carpet Cleaner?
Does cleaning carpets sound like something you would want to DIY? If yes, which carpet cleaner might be the best for you? Ok, I have to admit this was a #influenced buy– but, I will also say in the few months that I’ve had the carpet cleaner, it has very much been a ‘sparks joy’…
Homemade Pesach Ketchup
This Pesach ketchup is a key ingredient in the Miriam’s General Tso Chicken from her new book Real Life Pesach Cooking. If you use bottled ketchup, go ahead and take advantage of the convenience. If you don’t, however, this is a fabulous solution! Miriam says, “This ketchup recipe was originally created by my friend and…
Outrageous Tropical Fruit Salad
You can make this one year round with fruits that you find at your corner grocery (and the freezer aisle!) I used to make a version of this salad years ago. It was my signature dish, and the funny part is, there is no cooking involved. Somehow, my guest always knew that there was a…
Pessy’s 6-Ingredient Minute Steak Roast
It’s the best value in the meat showcase and will be perfectly soft and tender. Everyone has a different idea of what constitutes a perfect meat. Growing up, a successful roast had to be melt-in-your-mouth soft. Most of the time, fall off the bone, soft meats tend to be very fatty and also very expensive. …

Sadly, the time that we look forward to spending together often ends with a feeling of, “Thank G-d it’s over.” That’s because, while we love our extended family, sometimes when we’re in close quarters with the same…
Are You Feeling Underappreciated Around Now?
It’s during these weeks before Pesach, when we’re working so hard, that these feelings tend to creep up. How do we deal with it? It’s Pesach again! Ah! The Yom Tov of freedom, when we’re meant to feel like kings and queens, the pinnacle of royalty. Freed from the bondage of Mitzrayim, which the sefarim…
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….
Sweet Romanian Eggplant Dip
The #1 most made Pesach dip Since this recipe was first featured here six years ago, it’s been the #1 must-have go-to among us at BCP. It goes on all of our Pesach menus, every single year. We love it because it’s loaded with fresh flavor, yet it’s still light and healthy (unlike the heavier…
