Cheese Blintze Soufflé

Every household has certain traditions that are theirs. They are the routines that the family is used to. For certain holidays sometimes those traditions are passed down from generation to generation. For breaking fast the Guru house has their traditions just like most other homes. We make the usual bagels, lox, and cream cheese. Ok, you got me, we buy these items probably because it’s easy to serve, set up, and clear but as time goes on we...

Easy Peach Crisp

The last licks of summer is still here. It’s definitely hot enough to be summer that’s for sure. I still am getting amazing peaches, nectarines, and plums and the yummy stone fruits from the local supermarkets. I’m really picky with my stone fruit and I like it to be rock hard. If it doesn’t pass my touch test then it goes straight to be baked. I like making peach crisp for dessert in the summer because they are super simple easy and I...

Candied Beef Fry and Kale Simanim Salad With a Pomegranate Honey Dressing

Does every meal need a salad? I always ask myself that question. Does anyone really like salad or do we pretend to like it because we know it’s good for us. Going into the new year, I would like to start with making sure I have a salad at every meal. I want my kids to learn to like salad from a young age and teach them the importance of healthy eating from early on, and also just to enjoy all foods, weather they are good for you or not. This...

Cholent

After posting my Kosher Guru cholent hacks I got bombarded with emails, texts, and dms, to please, please send us your cholent recipe. Like I said Cholent really is a little bit of this and a little bit of that but the next time I made cholent I decided to measure it out. As a disclaimer Cholent pots are all different and you have to know if yours gets super-hot and absorbs tons of water, then make sure you add more water. If your Cholent...

Sweet Potato Pastrami Hash

Fun side dishes are always a challenge. I get bored of making the same things all the time. This hash is super easy, super versatile, and is super yum! The combination of sweet potatoes and pastrami for some reason just work together. Maybe it's the sweet and salty combo, I’m not sure but it’s just a match that just makes my taste buds sing. Sometimes for dinner I like making omelets and this hash on the side or I even use it for a...

Cholent Hack

Cholent is one of those things that is so hard to measure. It really is the little bit of this a little bit of that kind of a thing. Some people like different kinds of spices some use different sauces. Some use hot dogs for flavor some even use sausages. I play around with the different types of meat I put in my cholent, I use a variety of flanken, cheek meat, and bones, but there are always staples that are a must. I like a barley based...

Kishka Stuffed Capons

We go away a lot for Yom Tov and I really enjoy the experience with my family. I love that I don’t need to work so hard and that I get to enjoy my family both during meals and during the whole yuntif experience. I know most don’t want to think of Rosh Hashanah now but I know my shul already sent out seating requests so I’m assuming yours did too! This dish reminds me of Rosh Hashana and all the amazing programs I go on with my family. I...

Watermelon Bites

Summer is usually warm and muggy. I tend to look for lighter things to eat. I look for refreshing, instead of the heavy comfort foods that I’m known to love. I guess there is a time and place for everything. The best part about summer is the endless fruits that are in full season. The watermelon in the summer is so sweet and juicy it’s almost impossible to pick a bad one. These Watermelon bites were inspired by summer, that and an...

Pea Purée Pizza With Smoked Beef Fry

Pizza is a big weakness for me. I love cheese, bread, and tomato sauce. However, I’m also a big fan of the creative meat pizzas that has taken the restaurant world by storm. Meat pizzas aka flatbreads are now seen at so many of the trendy restaurants, and they are a well-loved item. I’ve come up with a fun one here that just pops in your face and on your palette. The colors alone are just incredible and I hope you will love it as much as I...
