Summer time!! Hands down one of my fave seasons- sunny days, BBQs. beach vibes, and loads of Iced Coffee. Nothing screams summer more than a delicious creamy sweet ice cream and we dedicate this post to our dads today- #happyfathersday! Sorry we are leaving the burgers and steaks for another time:) I don’t know about your dad, but mine LOVES ice cream. Hardcore dairy goodness, none of the parve stuff. So when we were thinking what we can make for Father’s Day that takes it up a notch, homemade ice cream right away came to mind. Listen I will admit it. There is a time and place for everything, store…

Apple Stuffed Monkey Bread
I can’t believe the chagim are almost here. To many people September symbolizes a fresh start whether a new school year, a new season, or in my mind a new year. A fresh start means new opportunities and possibilities. It’s also a time to try things you never have before and if you have never tried monkey bread, believe me, now is the time. This apple-stuffed monkey bread is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. The combination of apples and cinnamon with a sticky glaze makes this dessert irresistible. Traditionally when making an easy monkey bread recipe, people will use canned biscuit dough. Unfortunately, that’s one item that has not hit…

Pomegranate Meatballs
Rosh Hahshana is approaching, and I have mixed feelings on it (insert a whole bunch of different emojiis here) We know there is so much prepping and cooking that goes into making Yom Tov, that one pot one pan meals are so much needed and appreciated! So no worries. We got you. On Rosh Hashanah it is customary to eat foods with symbolic importance. When it comes to pomegranates, however, the symbolism lies in the fruit itself. By eating the pomegranate, we express our wish for a year filled with as many merits as a pomegranate has seeds. We are starting off our cooking with these sweet and tangy Pomegranate Meatballs! So…

Sweet Cheese Pastries
Shavuos 2021! I.love.this.Yom.Tov. If you know me I love love (insert 100 more “love” here) dairy- and yes cheese I am looking at you! Shavuos is a dairy fans’ dream- with the pastas, quiches, sauces, soups, and of course the main star Cheesecake. Confession time. Growing up I hated cheesecake! Ok ok hate is a strong term, but I really disliked it. I didn’t get why people loved it so much. As I got older, I came to love it and now I am a fan. My mom used to make the best cheesecakes, dairy and pareve ones. This recipe is a tribute to the classic cheesecake flavor. Some tangy…

Strawberry & Cream Donuts
Happy Channukah guys! I love this time of year and especially this Holiday. Channukah is all about Miracles and Lights….and fried food! Whether it’s Latkes, Donuts, or any other fried food items, its comfort food at it’s best! If your like me then you probably ate a few donuts, tried a few flavors and then some:) It’s hard to pick a favorite donut flavor. You can never go wrong with the classics like Vanilla, Chocolate, Jelly, and Custard. But there’s something so fun about trying new flavors and it seems that every year bakeries step up their game and put out insane unique ones. Some that I’ve seen and loved…

Hot Cocoa & Marshmallows Edible Cookie Dough
Yup. Its a thing. I think we can all agree (ok maybe most of us) that the best part of making cookies is secretly licking the spoon of cookie dough that did not make it to the baking sheet. Will it probably give us a stomach ache? Yup. Do we care? Nope. The beauty of this recipe is that it’s indeed EDIBLE cookie dough. The trick is that there are no eggs, and the flour is tempered (heated through) . Therefore we can have the cake (in this case cookies…or um cookie dough) and eat it too! Now when deciding what flavor we wanted to incorporate, Rachel geniusly (that’s so…
