Framing your latkes with onions rings is the absolute best way to upgrade your latkes. Last year, we saw Mandy Silverman of @mandyliciouschallah create this cool onion ring-latkes mashup.

It’s so convenient and efficient, you’ll wonder why you never froze rice before. We have rice recipes that are easy to prepare like 9×13 Sushi Rice, 9×13 Fabulous Rice or 9×13 Garlic Confit Rice.

You’ve tasted Chummus Bassar–the chummus dish with spiced ground meat–before. But this one is simply the best version.
