Cheesy tostada bake for Cinco de Mayo

It’s still cold here in New England! It’s hard to believe that much of the country is not only warming up a lot, but that grills have long been in use. For our neighbors south of the border, it’s not only warm, but also a very festive time of year: Cinco de […]

Chocolate chip cookies for Passover

Martha Stewart’s Cookies

Spinach cheese bake for Passover

Spinach cheese bake is an excellent main dish, or can be served in smaller portions as a side dish with a large salad. It’s very tasty, and can be made with additional vegetables if you want to make it more hearty. Since it takes an hour to cook thoroughly, I’d suggest using thawed frozen spinach […]

Meat and mashed potato pie for Passover

This is too tasty to save just for Passover! Even though it takes some time to make, since you’ve got to prepare mashed potatoes beforehand, and then it needs to cook for about 45 minutes, the really good thing is that is keeps really well in the freezer. Yup! a make-ahead OAMC recipe for Passover […]

Passover roast chicken with stuffing

This roast chicken recipe is great for anytime of the year, but it’s specifically designed for Passover because it uses matzo farfel for the stuffing. It can be assembled earlier in the day and then popped into the oven for an hour before serving.
