Pesach Banana Muffins
At first, I was really skeptical. But these banana muffins turned out to be the most delicious bring-along item. One day during our pre-Pesach prep last year, my daughter came home with a recipe. “I’m making these,” she said. “My friend made them and she said they’re really good!” “Banana muffins?” I thought. “We’re never…
Grain-Free Pesach Granola
It’s perfect for breakfast with yogurt and fruit, and perfect on-the-go too. This Pesach Granola is that wholesome crunch you’re craving. BCP runs a content chat called…New Content (super original name!) During and after every occasion/Yom Tov we discuss what recipes we tried, ideas we are missing, hacks we used. The following year we review…
Classic Gingersnap Cookies
If your family loves gingerbread, this is going to be a favorite. Gingersnaps (ginger snaps, ginger cookies, ginger biscuits – whatever you like to call them) have been one of our favorites for ever and ever and ever. There’s actually an internal family debate on which version that I make is the best. One son…
The 9×13 Life: Easy Oven S’mores Bars
Everyone loves a good 9×13 dessert, and (almost) everyone loves s’mores. We decided to combine the two into one super easy, crowd-pleasing treat! S’mores are delicious, but they’re typically a mess. There’s lots of gooeyness and stickiness all around when kids are heating up marshmallows, then trying to quickly sandwich them between graham crackers while…

The Art Of Roasting Chestnuts
Or better, the struggle. Back in 2012, I wrote a recipe in Ami on how to properly roast chestnuts. Or better, looking back, that was what I thought was the ONLY way one should eat a chestnut. I was still very new here and very European and very much homesick, especially for the roasted chestnuts…
After School Snacks: My No-Fail Formula
Does prepping after school snack take a little bit of planning and/or effort? Yes. But here’s why it’s worth it. Fact: The kids come home from school HUNGRY. Fact: Dinner’s not ready. (Or, your family eats together a bit later) Fact: If snack isn’t ready, the kids are raiding the pantry and eating whatever they…
Nut-Free Granola aka The Best Kids Back-to-School Granola
It takes only minutes to prepare, but will come to the rescue for so many healthy (yet fun) snacks or meals. When I was a teenager, the only thing teens baked were cakes and cookies. Today’s teens seem to be getting comfortable in the kitchen by preparing trendier foods. Think: Açaí bowls, energy balls, salads,…
The Best Homemade Beef Jerky
You will never buy jerky again. We can promise you that. So, let me explain this to you, in a way that you will understand, without saying too many words, about how my boys have been bragging about the “jerky that my mom made” to anyone willing to listen. Also, I became the cool mom…
