We’re getting to that time where pesach is taking up most of our brain and the time has come to buy lots and lots of nuts. I’ve teamed up with @thrivemarket to bring you these epic almond chocolate chunk biscottis that are gluten free and kosher for P! Thrive market has a bunch of items that are approved by the @oukosher for Passover without special certification like nuts, baking soda and olive oil. They are organic, with great prices and delivered to your door! For those of you who have been patiently waiting for this recipe, bless you! And here it is!!! These are actually so good that my mother in law has hidden the couple I brought to taste in the freezer so the rest of the family doesn’t steal it 🙈 Oops! Sorry for revealing the spot! Feel free to replace the fillings (chocolate, almonds, and marzipan) with your favorite fillings! 3.5 c gluten free Flour blend (see previous post) 1/2 c Sugar 1 tsp @thrivemarket Baking soda 1/4 c @thrivemarket olive oil 1 tsp Cinnamon Pinch Salt 1/2 c @thrivemarket Almonds chopped 2 Eggs 1 tsp Vanilla 1/2 tsp Almond extract 1 cup chocolate chunks 1/2 c Marzipan, diced and tossed with 2 tbsp flour blend (optional) I used @busyinbrooklyn recipe 1 cup chocolate, melted (optional) Preheat oven to 350F Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl In another bowl mix the extracts, oil, and eggs. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined Fold in the chocolate, almonds, and marzipan if using. Shape into 2 7x3 loaves with wet hands and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 25 minutes until golden. Allow to cool completely (legit so it doesn’t crumble!) before slicing diagonally and baking cut side up in a single layer at 300F for 20 minutes or until crisp but not burnt. Dip into melted chocolate if desired Eat lots! #sponsored, #ThinkingThrive #glutenfree #dessert #passover #passoverrecipes

Purim 2019. Charcuterie by @eatinginflats Pickled mustard seed and marinated olives by @cookinginheelss Costumes by no one. We forgot about costumes. Happy Purim everyone!

One of the best parts about the kosher food blogging community is that we really look out for each other. I’m not talking about shout outs, I’m talking about genuinely asking for advice from others and receiving it. I’ve been on both ends and it’s been amazing both ways. I love that we support each other’s growth! Take this photo for example. When I was taking it and it simply wasn’t looking right, I asked my friends @the_chefs_wife_, @rivkirabinowitz and @flavorful_fit for some help. After a bunch of suggestions and tweaking I finally had an image I was proud of! Since my first year as an Instagram contributor, people have helped make me better by giving great feedback. Starting with @eatinginflats and @chefchaya in the beginning till today! No instagram account is one person alone. I’d be at square one if not for all the people who have helped me on the way! Purim as a holiday celebrates community and acknowledgement of other Jewish people whether it’s about sharing mishloach manos or giving charity. Seems super apropos to be sharing this today. Also the dish itself is a herby PERSIAN frittata like thing called kuku sabsi which is perfect breaking the fast today or serving tomorrow. That makes it even more apropos! Check out the recipe on @grandandessex page! Swipe to see some of the unedited discards. #kukusabzi #persian #eggs #fritatta #yum #food #eat #vegetarian #glutenfree #healthy #spread #flatlay

You know what’s super awesome about sourdough besides eating it? There’s infinite possibilities to get better at it. So I’ve gotten where I wanted to scoring wise, I’ve gotten to 100% hydration, and now I’m working on my crumb- the inside part, making the holes big and open. I’m kind of excited cuz I’m further than I’ve ever been before. Note to self tho: don’t melt cheese on giant open crumbs unless you like to be cleaning the bottom of your oven. No judgement Marie Kondo.... #bread #crumb #sourdough #sourdoughbread #spread #breakfast #yum #opencrumb #food #f52grams

I should be more coordinated with this stuff. Last week I posted the pie I should have posted today because it’s pie day and all that but I don’t really feel that bad because these potato puff apps are so good they barely made it to the table Check out the recipe on @grandandessex feed. Did I mention that they freeze amazing and use only 5 ingredients? Whoops! Better late than never #appetizers #food #horesdevores #nom #bite #yum #foodie

Omigosh sorry guys! I forgot to post about this mishloach manos idea and recipe for marinated olives that was in this week’s Binah! If you hurry you can still get it! Also please ignore the post if your expecting mishloach manos from me this year. Otherwise it’ll ruin the magic. 🙈

I feel like pot pie is the yoga pants of food. It’s fancy little crust hides everything inside and you may be surprised with what you find. It’s also sort of like socially appropriate to have it in every situation because it’s like sort of fancy ish but also really not. Plus it’s comfortable in like every situation. Smelling it, eating it, watching it brown in the oven- that yoga pants analogy has ended by the way. The recipe for this Guinness Pot Pie can be found on the @grandandessex page and a step by step is in the highlights. Go check it out. Go make it. Your best yoga pants self will thank you. #dinner #pie #potpie #bake #epicurious #yum #beer #f52grams #feedfeed

You know what’s cool? Sprinkles. Obviously. You know what’s also cool? Less than 10 ingredients and 10 minutes to put together this adorable and addictive cookie butter coated pretzel recipe. Also, it makes a bunch so it’s good for mishloach manos and eating in bulk. Find the recipe on @kosherdotcom. #pretzels #snack #sprinkles #snackfood #pretty #sprankles

Ok I’m not gonna lie. I’m exhausted. Something about this week has me wishing for Friday, thinking it’s Monday, and being super confused why it’s only/ still Wednesday. Still, I’m super proud of this recipe, this Persian Spiced Roast happens to be incredible and somehow magically wrote itself because honestly I don’t even remember it happening. Check out the recipe on the @grandandessex page and put this on your Shabbos menu, Purim menu and also regular weeknight menu right now. If I can do it half asleep, you can do it half asleep too! Also you can see the step by step on their story which is pretty cool. Here’s to the weekend everybody! #partner #f52grams #feedfeed #food52 #huffposttaste #epicurious #meat #rare #yum

There are a few things I cannot resist no matter how hard I try. Melty Brie, anything with crunchy sweet crumbs right out of the oven, fresh roasted cauliflower (I know, it’s weird) and most of all, sticky, moist, stick to the roof of your mouth chocolate cake. I have actually eaten a half of a cake in one sitting without realizing. I asked fellow bloggers and they voted it’s totally ok to post two totally chocolatey desserts in one week so here goes! Those of you who watch my stories know that I attempted to create the most moist, melt in your mouth chocolatey cake ever but supremely failed like 3 times. I finally fixed it and you can find that epic recipe alone with my all new article on food trends in the Binah this week! Guys run. Get it! Wait, did I mention this is a one bowl, no mixer recipe? I didn’t? Oops! #binahmagazine #feedfeed #food52grams #f52grams #chocolate #chocolatecake #thebakefeed #dessert #dessertstagram #cake

It takes a village... First @sarahbokchin shared the recipe a couple of years ago that I base all my best hamantaschen recipes off of. Then @kitchentested helped me come up with the idea and trouble shoot this recipe @annamglatt proved an excellent neighbor and tested batch 1 . And @jewinthecity was also an excellent neighbor and tested batch 3 the final batch! So without much further ado, I present BABKATASCHEN! A two toned dough with gooey molten chocolate center and streusel crumb on top. Check out the recipe on @grandandessex feed today! Go teamwork!! 🤜🏻🤛🏻 #partner #feedfeed #food52grams #baking #dessert #hamantaschen #purim #kosher #jewish #cookie #chocolate #thebakefeed

Today feels like I accomplished a ton and procrastinated everything at the same time. Also what do you call it when you vicariously watch #shtisel over someone’s shoulder and are secretly really invested in the plot but also can’t actually tell them because then your married to finishing the show together? #askingforafriend #bread #sourdough #f52grams #feedfeed #vegan

I brought leftovers of this to work and told whoever asked that I made chana masala (pronouncing chana like the Jewish girls name). The obGYN I work with said, “oh yes we have a dish that looks very similar but it’s called Chana Masala” (hard ch sound) - very innocently thinking it was a completely different dish. That’s when I do this move 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m realizing that this was probably way funnier in person but either way this is a super delicious and easy dish and you can find the recipe on the @grandandessex page.

I’m going to pretend that gonna snow day like today I am sitting at home baking many yeasted pastries and eating large helpings of pasta like this one. But actually I’m at work praying that the snowmegeddon that happened a couple months ago doesn’t happen again. I could say, I hand cranked this all out from scratch but for real I just used @grandandessex @gustobuono_italy tortellini, and @thecheeseguy Parmesan here. #partner #f52grams #pasta

Even though fish tacos make a great dinner, they also make an awesome Shabbos appetizer. You know how I know? Cuz I did it and people were happy. Super happy. Know how I know that? Cuz no one talked for the 5 minutes it took for them to cram the entire thing in their mouth and every plate was clean. Just saying. I think that is basically how you define a winner. The recipe for these fish tacos are posted on @grandandessex page. Go check it! #partner #f52grams #feedfeed #healthy #taco #fish

I am thrilled to announce that I will be partnering with @grandandessex. We’ll be working together to bring recipes, highlights on interesting ingredients and how to use them and fun menu ideas to you guys! I’m super nervous and excited but I think it’s going to be a really great experience. A huge thanks to all of you for making this possible. We’re kicking off this week with some healthy eating ideas so keep an eye out on their page! 🛒 Since moving, I have been impressed with @grandandessex‘s motivating purpose which is to bend over backward to make sure their customers are happy. Its the old town feel that you get from mom and pop shops but with the outlay of a quality supermarket. It’s the kind of experience that makes you believe in quality over and over again! Comment things you want to see! Let’s do this! 🤛🏻 #partner

Sometimes epic recipe just never get posted. Like this one. Don’t worry I fixed it. This here are blondies with the sweet nuttiness of tahini and then an ooey gooey center that melts in your mouth. It’s not a dream anymore it’s an actual reality. It could be your reality if you want. All you need to do is make the recipe. I know, if only everything were that easy. Ingredients: Gooey inside: • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter • 1 large egg • ¾ cup (packed) light brown sugar • 1/3 c tahini • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • ½ teaspoon kosher salt • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour • Blondie part • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus more • 2 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds, plus more for garnish if desired • 1½ teaspoons baking powder • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt • 1¾ cups (packed) light brown sugar • 2 large eggs • 2 tbsp. tahini • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 1/2 c chocolate chunks Gooey inside 1. Cook butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns, 5-8 minutes. Transfer brown butter to a medium bowl; let cool slightly. 2. Add egg, brown sugar, tahini, vanilla, and salt and beat until mixture is light and falls back onto itself in a slowly dissolving ribbon, about 3 minutes. Fold in flour. Blondie • Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a 13x9" baking dish and dust with flour • Whisk sesame seeds, baking powder, salt, and 2 1/4 cups flour in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat brown sugar and 1 cup butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating between additions; mix until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in tahini and vanilla. • Reduce speed to low and mix in dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chunks. Scrape two-thirds of batter into prepared baking dish; smooth top, pushing batter to edges. Alternating, dollop brown butter gooey mixture and remaining batter on top. Smooth and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top, if desired. • Bake until Blondie is golden brown and firm (a tester will not come out clean), 30-35 minutes. Let cool before slicing. #feedfeed #bake #dessert #love #nytcooking #yum
