This protein-packed quinoa salad is brightened up with fresh summer nectarines and  green scallions balanced with earthy baby bella mushrooms and pistachios. A light and gentle honey mustard dressing tops it off.

I have to thank the Canteen at Camp Munk for their popper sauce recipe. I thought of this idea, to adapt it to cauliflower,  during the nine days this past summer while wondering how the boys would possibly manage without their poppers for 9 whole days!!!  

Fried potatoes, mashed potatoes, cooked potatoes... It seems as if there are potatoes at every meal over Passover.  Here is a way to add some color to your mashed potatoes, as well as a delicious combination of flavors.  

I have been making this kids favorite “Torah Treat” for many years in honor of Shavuot. No matter  how exquisite the other dishes on the table, this has always been a Shavuot (and Simchat Torah of course) highlight for my children. Aside from delicious, they're simple enough for children of all ages to  make (yes… my seven year old daughter made the ones you see!).

This couscous recipe is a real time saver, as it doesn't require the couscous to be cooked beforehand.

Try this smart layered rice casserole where the sautéed vegetables will add a rich flavor to every forkful of your classic rice dish.
