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…
Quick & Easy
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…
Tangy Pulled Baby Chicken Crock-Pot Sandwiches
Make a sauce. Dump it in the pot. And come home to dinner. Here at Between Carpools, we do have a nice selection of recipes you can make in your Crock-Pot. Not tons, but a bunch. But you always need more. Like we said in this popular slow cooker roundup, slow cooker recipes are hard…
The Eggplant Carpaccio Shortcut
Nobody will guess how easy to prep this really is. Add it to your menu today. Leah and Renee have been serving up this hack all summer long, and, as a result, sharing this recipe, which isn’t even a recipe, with all those who subsequently asked for the recipe. It’s that good. It’s the type that…
Ramen Crunch Salad with Turkey
It’s the salad that kids and adults both love. My kids are obsessed with Ramen Noodles. If it was up to them they would eat these noodles every single day for breakfast, lunch and supper. However, since they have a mom, their life isn’t that much fun. When it comes to Shabbos and Yom Tov,…
Roasted Veggie Turbot Over Sweet Potatoes
This beautiful fish dish is fitting for Yom Tov-but it’s also a complete meal for any day of the week. The truth is, I originally made this because I hadn’t planned what to make. I had picked up some fish–but hadn’t decided on a recipe. Time was short. Dinner had to be served. I sliced…
