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…

Basics: Pesach Duck Sauce
Once you have this basic in your fridge, there’s so many things you can do with it! This all-purpose condiment will save the day.

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…
Hearty Minestrone With Meatballs
Really, it’s called “Italian Wedding Soup” but with a name like that, we weren’t sure you would give it a try… Minestra is soup in Italian, and maritata means “married.” Minestra maritata ended up being called “wedding soup” but it’s definitely not served at Italian weddings. It’s just a marriage (and a very good one)…
