Vera’s Brown Sugar Glazed Corned Beef
You just might already have all the ingredients right in your pantry! This recipe was honestly born the Shabbos right after pesach when my pantry wasn’t well stocked. We’ve all been there. I found a package of mini hot dogs in my fridge and figured, “Let’s use this up.” I started just literally throwing things…

Then, Yussi opened his popular Snaps restaurant (read more about Yussi and see another recipe over here) and the ownership of the…

And with the simple, clean ingredients, it can work very well on Pesach, too. Fennel is…
How to Make Oven “Smoked” Brisket for Pesach
It might sound basic, but this cooking method yields a meat that everyone loves. One of my personal favorite recipes from Dinner Done Cookbook is the Smoked BBQ Brisket on page 130. I even created a Crockpot BBQ Brisket version (a version with BBQ sauce) here on BCP. Like I wrote in Dinner Done, in the…
