It’s sweet, it’s salty, and it’s the perfect ice cream treat to pull out for shalosh seudos (feeds a crowd!). I was in the supermarket one Friday afternoon – I had already gotten everything I needed.

Tuna Ceviche: The Perfect Summer Fish Course. We Never Tire Of It.
Whether you are serving it for Shabbos lunch or Shalosh Seudos, I can guarantee you will not have a drop left. Summer is here and I am not in the mood for cooked fish.

How to DIY Ice Cream King Cones
Scooping ice cream when there’s a big crowd? No thanks. Instead, serve king cones to the kids (and the adults). I first served these king cones at a Chanukah party–and never mind the kids, the adults were grabbing them. And there were so many “pros” to this dessert! One–no ice cream scooping mess. Two–they’re so…

The base of your toasts should be some good quality fresh bread (the parbaked French baguettes from the freezer section are also good). View the full summer worthy picnic in this post. Since the ingredients…

Another Winner Salad: Crunchy, Nutty Farro Salad
Farro is one of those ingredients that once you add once, you’ll keep adding to your salads. Besides for being a filling, delightful grain, farro is also a source of protein and fiber, making this bowl one that’s full of nutrients (and enjoyment). This is the perfect salad to add to any meal, and the…
