Shabbos & Yom Tov
Time for Flavor! This Moroccan Fish Dish is a Hit
This Moroccan Fish is a weekly dinner staple at my house. If you like flavor and a bit of heat, it might become one of yours too. UPDATE: We’ve recently been making this with salmon and sometimes adding chickpeas too. Chili peppers scare you? Try replacing with milder jalapeños. My husband loves Moroccan food and…
Shake n’ Bake Crispy Chicken Drumsticks
It’s only three minutes until these crispy chicken drumsticks are in the oven (and nothing to clean up!) This crispy chicken recipe came together during the heat of July when barbecuing is the rule. The grill was already up and running and I needed a quick solution. I was in the mood for something new…something…
Serve Dessert in a Ball
These easy desserts are easy to make ahead (they’re easy period) and look absolutely breathtaking. People often call me randomly for help with recipe ideas.

How to Cook Navel Pastrami
Morning or night, navel pastrami makes a perfect meal. And here’s my fav ways to enjoy it. My friends always lovingly, of course, laugh at me that I can eat anything fleishig at 11 a.m., especially when pastrami is involved. Don’t you agree that it’s perfect for brunch? There’s something so comforting about a tender,…
Shredded Beef Pizza
You’re less than 10 minutes away from digging in. A while back, I shared on my @cookkosher instagram account a quick recipe for Shredded Beef Pizza: Loving tonight’s shortcut dinner (yes, it’s as good as it looks!). Breadsmith’s Pizza Dough + pizza sauce (tomato paste, water, seasoning) + @jacksgourmet shredded beef on top. Place on…
A Quick and Easy Dinner! Honey Mustard Salmon
A Honey Mustard salmon dinner so easy, you won’t need to look at this recipe again to remember it. Most of my salmon recipes come from my mother-in-law. She’s my fish recipe guru. Is it perhaps because she happens to prepare a lot of fish, or maybe because, on every Friday night in her home,…

A wow presentation and flexibility guests love (take as much or as little as you like!). This is the winning side of salmon dish. People can’t seem to agree. Is it better/nicer to serve buffet style so that everyone can choose what they like, or is it better to plate each person’s plate individually. Personally,…
