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….

The 9×13 Life: Garlic Confit And Blistered Tomato Rice
Also known as, the dangerous rice that you can eat all in one sitting. We have baked rice in a 9×13 before and we are ready to do it again. This recipe, though, is very different. More 2023 if you will. Sometimes, the side dish is the star of the show. You know? This baked…
Roasted Veggie Chummus Platter
It’s the most gorgeous of appetizers and an absolute party in a platter. “Victoria, Shana our bookkeeper said she made the Chummus Platter from Leah Nagel of Truffles and Trends and she said it’s amazing. It’s very much your type. Do you want to try it?” Absolutely, I did. I had worked with Leah Nagel…
Freezer-Friendly and Delicious Japanese Noodles
This side dish can be prepared in advance and frozen, and nobody will know. It’s delicious Japanese noodles that taste just as good fresh and they do when they’re rewarmed. Sometimes you just want to cook up one big recipe (maybe even double it), freeze it, and know that it’s done. We do that often with…
Kosher Kopykat: Turkey-Wrapped Dates
You may have tried these meat-filled and wrapped dates in a restaurant and thought: this is really gourmet. But perhaps you didn’t imagine just how easy peasy they are to recreate. Most of the time that I eat out at restaurants, I don’t come home with much inspiration. But then there’s the unique times where…

Get potato kugel really quickly (and really crispy) in your Betty Crocker. We’ve been bitten by the Betty Crocker pizza maker bug and love sharing our Betty Crocker “recipes” (recipes in quotes because you don’t really need a recipe for most of the Betty Crocker cooking. Let’s start with the basics. The Betty Crocker pizza maker (or just…
Vera’s Moroccan Jeweled Couscous
This side dish is a taste experience–but it’s still easy to prepare! I personally love a good easy side dish. But sometimes, for Yom Tov, I like to throw in a little something special to elevate our meal. I don’t necessarily find that I need to compromise and patchke in order to put a beautiful,…
Don’t Put Away That Leftover Corn On the Cob Yet
If you do it the right way, there’s a better chance it will get eaten. You know how sometimes you can buy super fresh corn on the cob for a great price? You get caught up in the farmers market vibe and put 10 ears in your bag. Or you buy that pack of 8…
Betty Crocker French Fries and Chickpeas
Throw this side dish into the Betty Crocker for an easy, filling family-friendly side or meal. Since our first Betty Crocker Pizza Maker post was published, we’ve been hooked. We’ve used it for travel, made salmon, cooked pasta, home fries, eggs and pancakes. Whatever you can make in the oven or on the stove, you can also make in your Betty Crocker. Talk about…
How to Make Easy Home Fries
Have them for breakfast. Or lunch. Or your side dish for dinner. They’re easy enough to make anytime, all Pesach long. Every Chol Hamoed morning our day starts with eggs, matzah, avocado, cream cheese, butter – and lots and lots of home fries. Honestly, I don’t even have to make them anymore. The kids are…
