This Celery and Green Apple Salad has that delightful chewy and crunchy factor. It’s super refreshing, assembles in just minutes, and can be adapted to use whatever you have on hand. Last year, while my neighbor Suri was at my door to pick up her daughter, the subject of recipes came up. Of course. It…
Quick & Easy
Whole Wheat Honey Oatmeal Cookies
These breakfast cookies will be the go-to favorite for both moms and kids. “Ma, these are so good. They’re going into Dinner Done 2, right?” “No, they’re not for the book. They’re going to be on Between Carpools for back-to-school season.” It seems that every time I made these cookies and refilled the cookie jar,…
Müesli. (A Great Way To Start Your Day.)
Prepare it once and have breakfast to grab and go (almost) all week. I grew up eating muesli. We actually put the two dots on the “u” of the müesli (like this). And we called it Birchermüesli, but I don’t expect you to try to say that. Although I grew up in the southern region…
The Red Cabbage Salad with Sumac
This is one of those quick-prep salads that’s a perfect addition to your BBQ. Especially when you’re including these grilled pitas. Yesterday, we shared some “BBQ additions” that can upgrade the meal, including this Pastrami Topping for Burgers. One of those BBQ upgrades that is really a favorite is a BCP classic– these grilled pitas….
Sunday Burgers with Pastrami
Top your burgers with this pastrami for the perfect BBQ upgrade. When it comes to making a BBQ and grilling menu, honestly, less is more. You don’t need many recipes for your steaks, burgers, and hot dogs. Where we do like to have fun is with the additions we add to the BBQ – the…
Frothy Whipped Coffee
This coffee is a hype that is here to stay. Trends come and go. Some go viral for a bit, and then disappear. And some have staying power. Like whipped coffee–it looks amazing, and guess what, it tastes amazing too. It’s not just hype. Summer is the perfect time to have fun with your cup…
The 9×13 Life: Rice and Lentils (Mejadra)
If you’ve already been making this traditional rice and lentil dish, you will never make it in a pot again. And if you never tried it, you will still love it! Mejadra looks so simple…but it’s so good. It’s a traditional Syrian dish that’s often prepared during the Nine Days because it’s filling (lentils are…
Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner
This salmon dinner checks all the boxes for the easy, summer meal that uses all the fresh produce you already have in your fridge. When my cousin Leah Reichman told me she just throws whatever vegetables she has on a sheet pan and adds a protein—chicken, salmon, whatever—I asked her, “Can you please measure it?”…
9×13 Oven Mock Matbucha
Make delicious matbucha without the pot, and without the patchke. Over the years we’ve collected and shared an impressive amounts of dips and spreads. The sourdough / challah course keeps expanding and no one is complaining. Some BCP favorites include this Tomato Dip/Salad, this Sesame Dip, Chummus, Tomato Garlic Confit and now we’re excited to…
Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce
These rolls are as fun to make as they are to eat—and they look beautiful on a plate. You can customize them a million ways (think shredded chicken, tofu, mango…). Call them summer rolls, Vietnamese spring rolls or salad rolls – either way they’re light, they’re fresh, and they make a gorgeous appetizer. Or a…
