It’s simple but it packs in loads of flavor for a one-dish meal. At Between Carpools, we love those one dish meals that are healthy and light and do a good job pleasing at least a majority of the people. If you’re looking for salads that are a meal, we have this Ramen Crunch Salad…
Quick & Easy
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…
Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Squares
Chocolate chip cookies. Cheesecake. It’s really such a classic combination. This is an easy one you can stick in your freezer today and check off your list. Really, the concept is simple and it’s not new. Chocolate chip cookie dough on the bottom. Cheesecake filling. More chocolate chip cookie dough crumbled on the top. It…
Hot Dog Burnt Ends
This checks all the boxes: family-friendly, quick-to-prep, cost-effective…and best of all, deliciously smokey. I’m not sure if it’s just food people (food writers, avid cooks… ) that go through food phases. One example might be obsessing over a particular salad combination and making it over and over again. Or creating different variations of a similar…
Chili Lime Chicken Poppers
It’s always great to have more versions of your favorites. Our oven baked hot poppers from Dinner Done is hands down our family’s favorite recipe. This winter, I changed things up by using a new sauce on the poppers, creating BBQ Sticky Poppers. Yes, I know that when you find a good recipe that the…
Gravy Fries
They’re an easy, flavorful, and fun casual side. Looking for something fun to serve everyone? These gravy fries are super popular with teenagers. Gravy fries and burgers make the best combo and are a perfect Chol Hamoed Dinner. Serve with crushed tomatoes and Israeli salad for a complete meal. Make the gravy ahead of time…
Crispy Pargiyot over Caulirice and Israeli Salad
That easy, comes-together-in-minutes Chol Hamoed dinner that’s fresh and flavorful. I believe Pesach foods should be just as delicious as all year foods–no compromises. So my dinners for chol hamoed mirror my usual weeknight dinners with just slight adaptations. Here I baked pargiyot (skinless, boneless chicken thighs) because they’re incredibly tender and juicy, then chopped…
Mini Deli Wraps
These slices of wraps are pretty to serve, they’re light, have lots of flavor, and a great all-around pick-up item. It was at the cookbook launch party for Best of Kosher when were reminded about this presentation idea for wraps… and we loved it. Because when there’s lots of food on a buffet, you don’t…
The 9×13 Life: Sushi Rice in the Oven
Great rice; no sticky pot to deal with at the end. Sure, sushi is a fun meal that tends to please everyone (make some rice, choose your fillings). It’s useful in lots of recipes besides for sushi too. Some favorites include this Sushi Salad, or the kid-friendly favorite Avocado Crunch Sushi Roll from Dinner Done….
Sticky Barbecue Chicken Poppers
We love the classic Oven-Baked Hot Poppers from Dinner Done, but, yes, it is time for a new version! Before Dinner Done was released in November of 2022 we knew without a doubt that the most popular recipe would be the Oven Baked Hot Poppers (page 75). How did we know? Firstly because chicken cutlet…
