BOOZY MUSHROOMS
The best thing to have in your fridge! Serve over techina as a dip, add to salads, wraps, grains bowls or most into an omelette. Mmmm. Just a good, yummy fridge staple!
#recipes
2lbs assorted mushrooms, stems + gills removed
4 tsp olive oil, divided
1 yellow onion, halved, thinly sliced
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp coarse black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cup dry white wine
Slice mushrooms into thin slices. Heat a pot over medium high heat. Once hot add 2 tsp oil and the mushrooms. Cook for 20-25 minutes stirring every few minutes. At first the pot will seem to dry but the mushrooms will quickly release their liquid and then you want to cook out all that liquid so the mushrooms can sauté and get a great texture! Once the mushrooms start to get a drop of color add remaining oil, onions, salt and pepper. Cook for another 20 minutes stirring often. Once onions have browned add garlic and stir to combine, cook for 2 min. Pour in wine and cook for another 3 minutes to allow the wine to reduce and that’s it!
Serve over a salad, add to an omelette or wrap, or pour some techina in a bowl and add a scoop of the mushrooms to the center of it and serve as a dip along side some good bread or challah! #vegan #recipes #easyrecipes #holidayrecipes

CROCK POT MEXICAN PULLED BEEF
perfect in hard or soft taco, added to a burrito, spread over tortilla chips or even over a bowl a rice!
#recipe
1, second cut brisket
2 yellow onions, halved thinly sliced
1/3 cup Maggie loves taco spice blend (or your favorite taco seasoning)
2/3 cup barbecue sauce
2 chipotles in adobo + 1 tbsp adobo sauce (if you don’t have you can use 1 Tbsp smoked paprika)
1 bottle beer or lime breezer
Juice of 1 lime
Place meat and onions in a crockpot. I like to cut my brisket into 2-3 smaller pieces (just a personal preference) so I layer the onions between the pieces of meat. Sprinkle tacos seasoning over the top. Add chipotles, bbq sauce, beer or lime breezer and lime juice. Toss everything around with a spoon. Don’t worry about coating evenly or anything. Just a quick 1-2 mix is enough! Cover. Cover the crockpot and place on medium heat and cook for 6-8 hours (timing will vary depending on exact model of crockpot so check it at 6 hours and if it’s not falling apart, leave on for longer!) I like to mix it once or twice through out the cooking process just to distribute the flavors and juices evenly through out the pot. Once the meat is soft and tender, remove a little at a time, pull and return to pot. We want to keep the meat submerged in the liquid while the meat is hot. Otherwise it will dry out! That why we only remove a little bit at a time! Serve in hard or soft shell tacos, over nachos, in a burrito or make a Mexican rice bowl! I always make some salsa and guacamole to serve on the side and have tons of diced tomato, chopped onions, cilantro and some shredded lettuce for everyone to build their own tacos!
Enjoy! #tacos #mexicanfood #recipes #glutenfree #glutenfreerecipes #easyrecipes #dinner #familydinnerideas #familydinners

Meanwhile make dumplings. Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix well. 45 min before serving return soup to a boil and add in dumplings. Use a big spoon to scoop up a lot of the batter and a smaller to scrape a little bit off the spoon directly into the pot to create the dumplings. Once all the dumplings are added allow soup to boil for 3-4 min then reduce heat to low again, cover and simmer till cooked through. Serve hot and enjoy!

Anyway, once you do make it and love it make sure to thank Aviva in the comments, because it’s all here! I’m just messenger!

AREYES
One of my families fave dinners!!! It’s easy to make annnnd if you make the meat mixture in the morning or the night before it takes minutes to assemble!
#recipe
1.5 kilo chopped meat
1/4 cup harissa
6 cloves garlic
1 large shallot, peeled, halved
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp coarse black pepper
10 pitas
Place everything besides meat in a food processor. Blend until purred. You may have to scrape down sides a few times.
Place meat in a large bowl and add puree. Mix well to combine. Cover with Saran Wrap and store in the fridge until ready to cook! Or cook right away. But waiting gives the meat time to absorb the flavor.
Preheat grill pan over medium high heat + preheat oven to 350°f (180°c) Slice pitas in half. Add 1/4 c meat mixture to each pita and spread out till the meat reaches the top on a single flat layer. Place stuffed pitas meat side down on the pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the meat is seared. Remove and place in tin. Once all the areyes are cooked spread the sides of the pita very lightly with non stick spray and place in the oven for 25-30 min to allow meat to cook through.
Serve hot with techina and schug and enjoy.

BEST ZUCCHINI EVER
The 🌟 of the show.
Make it. Eat it plain. Serve along side chicken. Add it to pasta with a ton of Parmesan, mix into an omelette or just stand over the stove and eat all of it by yourself.
#recipe
4 zucchini’s, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
2 yellow onions, halved thinly sliced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
3 Tbsp dry white wine
Place zucchini rounds in a filling rack and sprinkle with 2-3 tbsp kosher salt. Allow to sit for 2-3 hours so salt can draw out water form the zucchini. Place rounds onto a dish towel and pat well to dry (do this in batches).
Preheat a large pan (bigger than one I used), on medium high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and half the zucchini. Stir immediately and then flatten into one layer (don’t be too crazy about this if they overlap a little it’s fine ). Cook for 3-4 min. untouched, then stir, cook another 3 min. Remove from pan, add 1 more tbsp olive oil and do the same with remaining zucchini. Add to a bowl. In the same pan add 1 more tbsp of olive oil and onions. Cook on high heat for 10-12 min stirring often so they don’t burn. Return zucchini to pot and reheat. Once hot add garlic and pepper flakes. Mix. Cook for two min. Add wine. Stir. Cook for 4-5 min. Done. Serve hot and enjoy. #zucchini #recipes #vegan #veganrecipes #easyrecipes #glutenfree

TWIRLY POP CHICKEN SKEWERS
DINNER CHALLENGE EP 1
Easy, yummy, delicious and it’s on a stick. So the children will eat it.
2 things:
1- don’t marinate the chicken in advance. Make the marinade in advance if you want but do not add to the chicken until right before you are ready to cook it!
2- I served with this zucchini and it was out of this world. Will post that tomorrow. So stay tuned for that.
#recipe
About 20 skewers soaked in water for at least 30 min
1.5 kilo (3lbs) thin chicken cutlets
2 tbsp olive oil
1-2 tsp coarse black pepper
1 tbsp kosher salt
8 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp whole grain Dijon mustard (or 2 Tbsp smooth Dijon)
1 very juicy lemon, halved + juiced
1 Tbsp white vinegar
1 Tbsp dried parsley (rub between your hands to release oils)
Add everything to a bowl. Mix. Immediately add 1 pieces of chicken to each skewer. When putting the chicken on the skewer start at the bottom of the chicken then twist the piece as you add it to create a twirly pop effect. This will keep the white meat chicken moister as it cooks.
Preheat grill or grill pan on medium high heat. Once hot add a tiny dribble of oil. Place skewers on hot pan and cook for 3-4 min on each side.
Serve hot enjoy!

אין אדיר כה׳
אין ברוך כבן עמרם
אין גדולה כתורה
אין דורשה לישרא-ל

מפי ק-ל מפי ק-ל יבורך ישרא-ל

There is none as powerful as Hashem
There is none as blessed as the son of Amram (Moshe Rabbeinu)
There is nothing as great as Torah
And there is no one, NO ONE, that exemplifies it like the nation of Israel!!!!

FROM THE MOUTH OF HASHEM, MAY ISRAEL BE BLESSED

Simchas Torah 5785
It is a loaded one but me must never forget that WE ARE BLESSED.
Blessed by the One whose blessings are eternal.

As the day approaches may we be blessed with peace.

And of course, blessed to greet Mashiach Tzidkeinu, rebuild the third and final Beis Hamikdash and witness tichiyas Ha’meisim b’mheira b’yameinu Amen selah

SUCCOS 5785
before anything I need to tell you that I had nothing to do with this! Eli, Meir and Dovi worked really to build the succah, bring in the stuff, get the electricity set up and so much more.
And then, Leah Baila with her gang of little sister helpers arranged and decorated everything.
So thank you to them for letting me do what I love and me hide out in the kitchen for 3 days cooking.
🌿🍋🌿🍋🌿🍋🌿
To me succos is a time of togetherness. We move out of our homes for 7 days to be reminded of our time wandering in the desert as a small nation surrounded on all sides by the shechina.
Today, when we are so deep in galus (exile) it can be hard to even crave the togetherness our souls, deep down, desire to feel with Hashem. So we physically surround ourselves with His presence by living inside an actual mitzvah.
This year, specifically when so many Jewish families are in fact not together, we must daven for redemption.
Succos last year felt like it ended at a rock bottom place. And if that was rock then there is nowhere to go but up. Please Gd may Succos this year end with ultimate “up”!
I daven that we each do our part to bring the togetherness amongst our nations so that each individual family can also be together.
As we enter our succah’s may we blessed to feel Hashem all around all the time.
May Hashem reunite all the families of klal Yisroel.
May Hashem safe gaurd and protect our soldiers and those still being held hostage.
May we have peace with in our nation.
May Hashem heal completely the sick and injured.
And of course,
May we blessed to greet Mashiach Tzidkeinu, build the third and final Beis Hamikdash and witness techiya ha’meisim b’mheira b’yameinu Amen selah.

#recipe
#recipe
7 eggs, separated
1&1/2 c sugar (divided)
1/2 cup oil
2/3 c almond milk
About 2 tbsp water (read instruction carefully)
2 tsp lemon juice (fresh is best)
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 drops (literally) almond extract
2&1/4 c flour
Scant 1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
Preheat oven to 175°c (350°f). In a stand mixer or using electric beaters beat egg whites till foamy. While mixing very slowly add in 1/2 cup sugar. Mix until mixture is a bit glossy and you have stiff peaks when you remove the mixer. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine egg yolks and 1 cup sugar. While whisking add oil. In a measuring add 2/3c almond milk. Slowly add the water until you have exactly 3/4 cups of liquid total (we are simply watering down the almond milk!). Add lemon and both extracts to almond milk mixture. Pour into the bowl and stir to combine. Add flour, salt and baking powder. Mix gently until everything is fully mixed. Add 1/3 of the egg white mixture and fold into batter to loosen. Add remaining eggs whites and very gently fold until combined. Pour batter into an ungreased tube pan (ideally one with legs at the top). Do not bang the pan- we’re keeping the air in!!! Place in the oven and bake for about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and gently flip pan over to cool upside down for 1 hour. Cut around the edges and place on a cake plate. Allow to cool another 3-4 hours before slicing! Serve and enjoy!
*make sure you tube pan/Bundt is a regular pan. Do NOT use a non stick pan or the cake will slip out!

BEEF CRUMBLE (slash free form mini burgers) MESSY FRIES
This is the story of a girl who doesn’t want her ground beef to have the texture of sand. So she a made better beef crumble and will now proceed to make a new version of them constantly until she has explored the vast number of ways they can be deliciously consumed.
The end. Or the beginning. Depends how you look at it💫
For real though, it’s all about the beef. Crispy little crumbles of beef that you can ACTUALLY SINK YOUR TEETH INTO.
#recipe
1.5 kilo (3.3lbs) chopped meat
6-8 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp kosher salt
1&1/2 tsp coarse black pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 yellow onions, diced, sautéed in 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp kosher salt until browned
Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Meanwhile in a large bowl combine meat, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix very well. Once pan is hot add oil. Using your hands (I wear 🧤) drop a small amount of meat (about 2 tbsp worth) into the pan. Continue until the pan is full. Once full allow those meat crumbles to cook for 2 minutes. Then nudge them over to the side of the pan making room to drop more in. Keep doing that until you finish your meat. (You can also move the cooked ones to a plate if that’s easier for you!) once all the beef crumbles are cooked add sautéed onions (onions can be made a few days in advance!) and stir to combine.
Serve hot over French fries, mashed potatoes, a salad or stuffed into pitas!!
