Kugels are dense, deliciously carb-laden casseroles that come in many varieties, savory and sweet. They can be noodle, potato, or even matzo-based, depending on your family’s traditions and when they’re served.
This sweet, noodle-based kugel is along the lines of what you’d typically see on the table at a Shabbat dinner or holiday gathering. Sweetened with sugar, enriched with sour cream and cottage cheese, and studded with raisins and apples, you might think it’s meant for dessert, but kugel is firmly entrenched in side-dish and/or leftover breakfast territory. (Sidenote: If you keep kosher, a dairy-filled kugel would not be served alongside a meat-based main dish.)

A great Caprese salad starts with great ingredients. This recipe is meant for summertime, when tomatoes are at their juiciest, sweetest, and most flavorful. I like stop by the farmers market and collect as many colorful heirloom tomatoes as I can. Not only are they beautiful, but each type tastes a little bit different, and it’s fun to showcase them in this simple salad. Look for greens, yellows, and reds, and try to find a variety of shapes – cherry tomatoes are fair game here too!

In addition to peak-season tomatoes, you need these 5 simple ingredients:

Fresh mozzarella cheese. Look for soft, spongy mozzarella balls that are packed in water. Use a good sharp knife to gently cut them into thick slices. You don’t want squished mozzarella!
Basil. Only fresh leaves here! Dot them over the tomatoes and mozzarella whole, or gently tear larger leaves before adding them to the salad.
Extra-virgin olive oil. It’s worth finding good-quality, 100% extra-virgin olive oil to use in this recipe, because you can really taste it here. Extra-virgin olive oil has a strong, fruity flavor that’s a great finishing touch for the juicy slices of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil – I don’t recommend using another oil in its place.
Freshly ground black pepper. If you don’t already have a pepper grinder, now’s the time to get one. Grind it straight over the salad for the best flavor!Sea salt. I like to sprinkle the salad with generous pinches of flaky sea salt, such as Maldon sea salt. Regular sea salt will work too, but skip the iodized stuff here. It has a slightly bitter taste that can stick out in such a simple dish.

Orange Margarita
In the battle between OG margarita and OJ margarita, I dub the latter the winner.

Don’t get me wrong, the classic lime-flavored cocktail is as delicious as can be.

But in this version, the splash of orange juice gives the cocktail a sweeter aroma and an even more delectable flavor.

Trust the combination of lime and orange to create a wonderful, tastebud tingling sensation!

How was your weekend? We spent most of it celebrating my friend’s birthday. I made a whole mess of treats including this cake (as cupcakes), these cookies, and these cookies too– it’s been way too long since I made a batch of those in particular! The birthday girl loves chocolate and peanut butter and caramel so these 3 were a no brainer.

There’s no batter time (get it? batter?) than a happy occasion to indulge in your favorite treats whether that’s a birthday, shower, wedding, you name it. My mom and sisters threw my baby shower last month and one of the treats they surprised me with was a HUGE display of cake pops. I love cake pops, but hardly ever take the time to make them. Though I did whip up a batch for both of my sisters’ bridal showers in the past few years. (Remember the green and pinks cake pops? They were for a bridal shower!)

Pie Eating Championship
Since 1992, Harry's Bar in Wigan has hosted the annual Pie Eating Championship. The champion was the one who ate as many pies as possible in a certain time. In 2006, the rules changed: to become the winner of the championship, you need to eat only one pie in the minimum amount of time.
