With nothing to prep ahead, this Affogato Coffee Dessert is one that you can prepare on the spot. This is the perfect light ending to a meal. So much so that I find myself preparing it over and over again. I originally thought to make this on Shavuos to give the men an extra boost…
Quick & Easy
Sesame Dip
With lots of sesame flavor, this sesame dip will be your go-to with challah. Sesame dip used to be one of those I would buy weekly. One day, while standing in the aisle of the grocery, I thought to myself, “This is just sesame seeds and mayo–why am I buying it? Why don’t I just…
Frozen Strawberry Passion Crunch
With the flavors of strawberries, pomegranate, passion fruit, and coconut–complete with a nut crunch–this is a super easy to prep, refreshing dessert you’ll love to serve. We love when family and friends tell us that they have a recipe for BCP. They know that BCP is about tried-and-true family favorites. And if they are offering…
Pomegranate Leek Relish for Your Rosh Hashanah Simanim
Instead of making leek patties, we make this tangy relish that combines leek and pomegranate. I’ve never made leek patties for our Rosh Hashanah simanim. (We do have a recipe for them here on Between Carpools.) It’s not something my family would enjoy eating. For a few years I made Yussi Weisz’s leek and olive…
Pomegranate Ice Cream
Elevate the flavors of ice cream with this perfect-for-Rosh Hashanah easy to prep ice cream dessert. Before the days of Between Carpools, I used to share my original recipes in Mishpacha and Ami magazines and any adapted recipes I shared (with permission) on my food website called cookkosher.com. A few years ago, cookkosher kept crashing….
One Pot Shawarma Chicken and Rice
It’s back to school season and back to schedules. During summer schedules, having dinner time at a specific hour isn’t as important. Kids are busy and tend to eat when it’s convenient. But once school starts, and kids’ schedules are more rigid, it becomes more important to have a filling dinner ready when they walk…
The No Knife Red Cabbage Salad
Do you want a gorgeous and filling salad for Shalosh Seudos with no advance prep? You can leave the cutting board in the drawer when tossing together this salad! Some of our favorite recipes aren’t recipes at all. They’re just components that you can pull together to make a really magnificent dish. All you need…
Eggs In A Pita
And why you need this breakfast/brunch (or sometimes supper) idea in your life I’m not sure when I started preparing these pitas stuffed with scrambled eggs and yummy gooey cheese, but I have a feeling that they were born during the Covid lockdown. There is a very vivid recollection of my then 5-year-old son eating…
Sneaky Protein Pancakes & Smoothies
Do you need easy, kid-friendly meals When I was a younger mother, feeding picky eaters was a frustration for me and I needed to figure out creative ways to get them some more balanced nutrition. That’s when these pancakes came about. These protein-loaded pancakes were a dinner that made them happy and me too. Even…
Beet and Chickpea Salad
Just toss it all together (the fresh dill and parsley are a must!) and you have an amazing, nourishing, and filling salad that’s refreshingly different. I do like randomly trying new things–but often, it’s just one and done. The experiments are just to enjoy for the moment, but rarely on repeat (although when they are…
