These days, I'm all about serving food my kids will actually eat.
One of my kids learned how to make Pizza Pinwheels similar to the recipe below, but with olives mixed into the filling. They're easy (the kids can even make them themselves, if I'm feeling generous!), much cheaper than picking up bourekas from the bakery, and perfect for a low-key summer dinner we can pack up for the park or eat on our porch by the wading pool.
I'll serve them with cut veggies, tuna salad (the recipe below is so similar to the tuna salad my mother always makes), and whatever fruit I have in the house—usually watermelon or plums—and I'll mix up a quick parsley dip or sweet matbucha for the vegetables. I don't love heat, but I recently made a batch of matbucha with lots of cooked peppers, tomatoes, and chili lime seasoning, and the combination was intriguing.
And maybe I'll make a tray of the pinwheels in the za'atar version just for the grown-ups, because someone has to get a little Nine Days upgrade too.
