Salami and eggs is a classic comfort food. This is a whole new take: crispy, glazed salami and fried eggs, all in one sandwich. At dinner we added chili crisp on top, and it was incredible.

Honey mustard dressing isn’t sold in Israel. My kids love it, so I figured out how to make it myself.

It’s a taste of the US that we miss, and it turns out you probably have most of what you need in your pantry already - things like vinegar, sugar, honey, mayo, and mustard. A jar in the fridge, and any salad or plate of veggies is suddenly a lot more fun to eat.

Take your rough day out on a bag of cornflakes.

That’s how the crunchy crust on these pancakes gets made, and yes, it’s as satisfying as it sounds. The pancakes are fluffy (thanks, in part, to homemade buttermilk), and the cornflakes turn into a cinnamon-brown sugar crust that crackles when you bite in. Breakfast for dinner, with a crunch.

In Israel, I can get a kosher Big Mac whenever I want. Most kosher families never get to.

So I made it a salad: lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pickles, with veggie beef crumbles, cheddar, and crushed potato chips on top (instead of fries), all tied together with a homemade "special sauce." If you’ve always kept kosher, this is your chance to find out what the fuss is about. It tastes just like a Big Mac!

Instant ramen noodles...and the flavor packet goes straight in the trash.

Ground beef, cabbage, and a glossy sauce all come together in a single skillet in no time. It’s the kind of dinner that feels like a shortcut and still counts as homemade, with a little kick on top if you want one. The kind of weeknight meal that ends up in your regular rotation.

STICKY GLAZED WINGS

WINGS: 4 lb chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats, tips removed; 1 1/2 T aluminum-free baking powder; 1/2 t fine salt; 1/2 t ground black pepper; 1 t garlic powder; 1 t onion powder; 1 t paprika.

STICKY SAUCE (about 1 cup: 1/3 cup to coat, rest for the side): 3/4 c honey; 6 T soy sauce; 3 T rice vinegar or lemon juice; 4 cloves garlic minced; 1 1/2 T grated ginger; 1 t toasted sesame oil; 1 T cornstarch; 2 T cold water.

Sesame seeds and sliced scallions for serving (optional).

INSTRUCTIONS: Pat wings very dry. Toss with baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika until evenly coated. Arrange in a single layer on a wire rack over a rimmed sheet pan (foil then parchment for easy cleanup). Do not crowd. Bake at 250 F for 30 minutes. Raise oven to 425 F and bake 30-35 minutes more, flipping once, until deep golden. Meanwhile combine all sauce ingredients except cornstarch and water in a small pot; simmer over medium heat, stirring often, 5-10 minutes until lightly syrupy. Mix cornstarch and water, add to pot. Pour 1/3 cup of sauce into a second small pot; simmer 2-3 more minutes until very thick and tacky - this is the coating glaze. Pour the rest into a jar for the side sauce; let cool. Toss hot wings in the coating glaze until lightly and evenly coated, about 1 tsp per piece; do not add more. Lift wings with tongs into a foil pan, single layer if possible; leave pan drippings behind. Cool uncovered 20-30 minutes. Cover loosely with foil and refrigerate within 2 hours; refrigerate side sauce in its jar.

SHABBAT LUNCH: covered wings on the warming tray straight from the fridge, allow plenty of time. Side sauce out 30 minutes before serving; stir and thin with 1-2 tsp water if too thick; serve at room temp.

A head of cabbage, a sizzle of hot garlic oil, and a crunch you’ll hear.

Garlicky, tangy, a little spicy, and topped with toasted peanuts and sesame seeds. It’s the kind of side dish that’s easy to start eating and hard to stop. And the dressing? Let's just say you’ll want it for more than cabbage.

Kosher chicken alfredo??

Chicken and cream sauce don’t share a plate in a kosher kitchen, so this classic has always been off the table. But I love a dinner experiment. Challenge...accepted.

The sauce is creamy, rich, and silky, and there’s no dairy anywhere in it. A few of the ingredients in the pot are ones you’d never expect in an alfredo sauce.

Watch how it comes together, then tell me if you’d try it. Full recipe in the comments.
