You can make them at home. And, surprise, they taste even better than in any restaurant. I went to my WhatsApp history and actually looked this up, because it was kind of important for me to know, and yes, already back in the beginning of 2022 we wrote a corn riblets recipe. No, you never…

Fun Crunchy Sesame Cucumbers
Everyone will eat these up because they’re so good (and they must be healthy because, after all, they’re cucumbers, right?). But they’re totally not. Anyways, it’s Chanukah, when everything has a little oil. So, people come to your Chanukah party, and they’re on a diet so they don’t eat the donuts. Instead, they eat the…
Silan Sweet Potato Fry Salad
A Tahini Dressing is the perfect match for these silan-roasted sweet potatoes. One day, Esti posted on our “BCP New Content” chat that she had made sweet potato fries that were particularly good. “Didn’t measure. French fry blade. Oil, teriyaki, silan, salt, garlic powder, sesame seeds. 425F for about 25 min. Yum!! Gonna put it…
Silan Sweet Potato Fries
They take two minutes to toss together, with a flavor that transcends the quick prep. Enjoy them fresh, or use them to make a salad really special. I’ve been making sweet potato fries the same way for a couple years now and decided we needed a change…Something with bigger flavor. I put on a bit…
Scallion & Sesame Cauliflower Over Rice
Warm and comforting, a little different, and definitely dig-in-able. Sides are hard. You know it’s true because most caterers and restaurant chefs don’t manage to think of new and creative sides either. Sometimes they just seem so boring. Despite that, we’ve had some great sides here on BCP! This is especially true when it comes…
Baby Corn Riblets
This restaurant favorite just might become your family’s favorite way to enjoy corn. We’re a family that loves anything corn. Corn muffins are #1. We also love Corn Soup (check out the recipe in Dinner Done). And Corn Puree–see Best of Kosher for our favorite sea bass recipe. So, when we came home from Miami,…
Basics: Cheese Kreplach
Whether you want the shortcut version or you’ll roll up your sleeves and make them from scratch, you can make your own kreplach. Kreplach may be that one recipe that you don’t make. You either buy it, or wait for your mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, aunt, adopted mom, Rebbetzin… really anyone OLDER than you who knows…
Cheesy Potato Blintzes
There are some traditional items we do not mess with! These blintzes are here to stay, just as they are. Every family seems to have their own Yom Tov recipe that has become a tradition, and this is ours. It’s one of those family nostalgic recipes that my mother has been making for forever. It…
Feel Good Crunchy Bean Salad
The gorgeous bean salad you’ll actually love (and look forward to enjoying). To me, bean salads were always old-fashioned, cop-out, straight-from-the-can processed types of salads that I would never want to touch. Not this one. Totally not. It’s a shame that beans get neglected because they could totally be amazing and so healthy. This is…
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…
