Roast Chicken
Easy roast chicken. We make this regularly, year after year after year.

Boiled Salmon
This recipe is from Marcella Hazan, and is called Boiling Fish in the Italian Manner. We’ve only ever tried it with salmon and found it to be delicious. Aside from being tasty, it’s quick and easy to make.

Brisket

Latkes
We served this recipe at our Hanukkah party for 2024 (party was actually in early 2025) and the latkes were great. We did a test run a couple days prior to test, and then charged ahead. We bought a small food processor to grate the potatoes, I’m not doing them with a box grater again,…

Baked Polenta with Greens

Slow Cooked Salmon
This is delicious and easy. Prep is almost nothing, then you can go do something else while the salmon cooks. We make enough for two nights so we don’t have to cook the next night. It goes great with Cumin Rice and Roasted Green Beans.

Cumin Brown Rice
We make this every week to go with our slow-cooked salmon. The garlic & cumin give it good flavor, but the salt is essential. The dish is very savory.
