Instead of making leek patties, we make this tangy relish that combines leek and pomegranate. I’ve never made leek patties for our Rosh Hashanah simanim. (We do have a recipe for them here on Between Carpools.) It’s not something my family would enjoy eating. For a few years I made Yussi Weisz’s leek and olive…

One Pot Shawarma Chicken and Rice
It’s back to school season and back to schedules. During summer schedules, having dinner time at a specific hour isn’t as important. Kids are busy and tend to eat when it’s convenient. But once school starts, and kids’ schedules are more rigid, it becomes more important to have a filling dinner ready when they walk…
Creamy Chicken Tacos
Charred wraps, creamy chicken, and crunchy cucumbers make this a family-friendly summer dinner everyone, from kids to adults, will love. Hands down, all my kids will eat cucumbers if I add some lemon juice, salt, and pepper. They will also pretty much eat anything I serve them in a charred wheat wrap. And so this…
Cream of Chicken Soup
It includes only the most basic of ingredients, but you’d never know from the depth of flavor in this Cream of Chicken Soup. I don’t think I have written a soup recipe in years. Very simply, it’s because most of the soup recipes that I share come from my sister-in-law Devorah. Over many years and…

Homemade Pesach Ketchup
This Pesach ketchup is a key ingredient in the Miriam’s General Tso Chicken from her new book Real Life Pesach Cooking. If you use bottled ketchup, go ahead and take advantage of the convenience. If you don’t, however, this is a fabulous solution! Miriam says, “This ketchup recipe was originally created by my friend and…
Orzo and Chicken Stir-Fry
Leftover cooked chicken gets a delicious makeover in this easy one-pot recipe. Even if you’re on a tight schedule or budget, this dish will help you get a nourishing, appealing meal on the table. It saves money because we’re repurposing our leftover chicken from Shabbos, and it saves time because it’s one pot, 30 minutes,…
Crunchy Chicken Lettuce Wraps
They’re fun, crunchy, healthy, and super kid-friendly too. These Crunchy Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a win-win for dinner. With many of the recipes I write, I try to keep in mind the pickiest eater I know…that includes those who won’t eat vegetables or taste new ingredients. I also think about those who only stock basic…
99+ Dinner Ideas!
I know. You cook every day. And yet, you still can’t think of a single thing to cook for dinner tonight. UPDATED FOR 2024. Three days in a row, I received phone calls from three different friends. “What are you making for supper?” they each asked. After the third phone call, I decided it was…
