These are definitely one of my top 5 favorite cookies, just like the ones you’ll find in the bakery. I’m obsessed with Chinese food, and Chinese cookies might be my ultimate cookie love if you needed to know how to make my day. I know, one has nothing to do […]
You only need one bowl to make the most heartwarming of all Jewish comfort foods. Challah. This is by far my favorite challah recipe. It is soft, fluffy, delicious and incredibly easy to make! The dough is gorgeous and silky and comes together rather quickly. I adapted Rebbetzin Kanievsky’s recipe, […]
Melt in your mouth Coconut Flanken Roast. When you have meat that’s this amazing, you don’t need all the pomp and circumstance. I know it sounds weird but this literally smells like butter popcorn coming out of the oven. Buttery soft in your mouth, falling-off-the-bone-goodness, with a tiny hint of […]
This probably falls under the category of top five favorite and most popular side dishes. This. Is. Legit. One of my most favorite sides. EH. VER. It freezes amazingly and it’s even better heated up the second day. Like whaaaaat??? I totally promise. Make it. And you’ll love me even […]

Baby it’s cold outside, and this is one of my favorite soup recipes. I like to serve this with toasted garlic bread, a fresh baguette or No-Knead Bread with a slather of butter. This vegetable soup recipe is really versatile. You can use whatever vegetables are in season or those […]
This is a low-carb option for those who want all the flavor of Chinese fried rice but none of the guilt. I’m generally not one to make “MOCK” anything, but this trend was on my bucket list and it was requested for a private cooking class. Time to check that […]
Yes. Better than takeout coleslaw. There I said it. I guarantee once you try this, you’ll never go back to store bought. I know it’s very unconventional, and yes, I have mixing bowls, but… I make my coleslaw in a ziploc bag. In case you’re going to ask if that’s a […]
