Dairy Pasta Dishes:

1. Spinach-Cheese Ramen Noodles by Chavi Feldman

This sophisticated version of mac ’n cheese could not have come together more quickly and easily! I included an option to add some pizza sauce, but I personally enjoyed it more without.

2. Grown Up Mac ’n Cheese by Estee Kafra

Creamy, cheesy, and perfectly decadent, it’s made with a blend of sharp cheddar and smooth Monterey Jack cheese for a rich, melty sauce that envelops perfectly cooked mini shells, elbows, or other small pasta shapes. A subtle kick from Dijon mustard and a hint of sweetness from caramelized onions elevate this dish beyond the ordinary, while a crispy, golden panko topping adds the perfect crunch. It’s a crowd-pleaser that’s perfect for family dinners, gatherings, or whenever you’re craving a little more sophistication in your mac ‘n cheese.

3. Easy Baked Cream Cheese Pasta by Sara Goldstein

There was a trend a while back that involved baking a block of feta with cherry tomatoes to make a pasta sauce. I prefer to do it with cream cheese, which I find much creamier and oh, so delicious! Dare I say this is better than the original version? Watch these simple ingredients transform into a heavenly tomato-based sauce that will have you back for more!!

Tip: I prefer the cream cheese that comes in a brick, as it’s easier to transfer to a dish.

4. Crowd-pleaser Gnocchi by Michal Frischman

Light and fluffy gnocchi is delicious but finicky, especially when cooking in advance for a crowd. Enter the unapologetically rich, creamy comfort-food version of gnocchi. This is where fully loaded baked potato meets macaroni and cheese.

5. Eggplant Parmesan Lasagna by Miriam Fried

This is a delicious twist to your classic Eggplant Parmesan.

6. Faked Ziti by Esty Wolbe

This is my Faked Ziti (“Baked Ziti”). There’s no draining and no baking and the easiest thing to make for dinner. It’s super quick and you can do it all with one hand, because when it’s supper-o’clock you’re probably doing something else with the other. Watch the video!

7. Pizza Pasta Muffins by Mirel Freylich

So quick to put together, these muffins take pasta to a whole new level.

Fish Dishes:

8. Loaded Crispy Onion Guacamole Salmon by Chanie Nayman

Shana Halpert shared this recipe concept with me, and I literally offered to make salmon for every given function ever since because A) it’s such a hit — everyone goes crazy for it — and B) it’s soooo easy.

9. Salmon Penne Rosa by Rena Tuchinsky

If you love pasta, well now you’re about to love it even more! This penne pasta is tossed in a creamy marinara sauce with flaked salmon. It’s not only a complete meal, but it’s easy to prepare and absolutely delicious.

10. Saucy Salmon Noodle Salad by Faigy Grossman

This meal-in-one gets a five-star rating! Easy to prepare, fantastic flavor, fast cooking time, pretty to serve, and a superb combination of textures; that’s your five stars!! (Really six, because I also love that the ingredients are basic and few.) This dish makes it to the top of my “make often” list!

11. Zaatar Bagel Tuna Melt by Ashira Mirsky

A tasty pool snack, camp lunch, brunch or anytime, this Zaatar Tuna Bagel Melt screams summer!

12. Ginger-Teriyaki Salmon by Sina Mizrahi

This asian-flavored salmon is the perfect recipe when you’re in the mood for an asian style salmon dish. This recipe takes just minutes to prepare, doesn’t require any advance marinating and comes out moist and delicious every time! You’ll be sure to reach for this recipe again and again!

13. Sheet Pan Salmon Dinner by Faigy Murray

This delicious all-in-one meal is extremely versatile. Feel free to swap the green beans for snap peas or asparagus or use regular diced potatoes in place of baby potatoes. You can also easily double or halve the recipe.

Egg-Based Dishes:

14. Israeli Breakfast Taco by Sima Kazarnovsky

If there is one thing I’ve picked up from living amongst Israelis for almost seven years, it’s that they know how to do breakfast. We all just look incompetent with our yogurts on-the-go or our frozen muffins in little baggies. For Israelis, breakfast consists of bread and dips and eggs and salatim and cheeses. This taco takes the best of breakfast and combines it into a cute little taco portion. Because it would be great to sit and eat breakfast for a while, but I am still from New York.

15. Egg-stra Special Tortillas by Chavi Feldman

I know that scrambled eggs may seem like a breakfast food, but in a home full of picky eaters, we improvise at mealtime and make use of the foods my kids actually like. So eggs for dinner can be quite normal in the Feldman home. And what’s not to like about this one? It definitely checks all of the boxes…quick and easy, light, filling, and healthy. Oh, and did I mention delicious too?

16. Spinach Cheese Quiche and Tomato Salad by Rena Tuchinsky

This quiche is perfect for Shavuos, but even better for supper! Wow your family with this delicious meal that was a staple in my house growing up and hopefully will be in yours too.

17. Shakshuka by Dorot Gardens

Shakshuka is a popular Israeli tomato and eggs dish, delicious for a leisurely breakfast or brunch and filling enough to serve as breakfast-for-dinner. This classic mildly spicy shakshuka has layers of seasoning as well as fresh and frozen herbs.

18. Anti-Inflammatory Omelet by Beth Warren

This omelet makes for a quick and filling low-carb, veggie-filled breakfast.

Bread-Based Dishes:

19. Cheesy Garlic Bread Sticks by Chanie Nayman

A pizza shop near me used to make really delicious garlic cheese bread, but then the chef left so I had to figure out how to make it myself!

20. Easy Pizza Babka by Nechama Norman

Everyone’s favorite classic pizza flavors, served up in a fresh new way! This is a great recipe to prepare with kids. They’ll love to mix up the cheese mixture, spread it on the dough, and help to squish the rolls into the pans.

21. Fried Mozzarella Sandwich by Sussy Krausz

The Italian version of French Toast! This is very popular and can be made with any type of cheese. This sandwich is delicious when it’s hot, but equally tasty when packed up for lunch in wax paper or foil.

For the Adults: Add two chopped sundried tomatoes, black olives, and/or thin slices of red onion inside the sandwich before sealing and frying. You can also dip the soaked sandwiches into seasoned panko crumbs before frying.

22. Quick Dough Dinner by Rena Tuchinsky

Here is your new favorite recipe to impress your family and feel like a total rockstar in the kitchen all while spending hardly any time preparing it! One quick and easy-to-prepare dough – used three delicious ways. Bonus dessert included!! For more great dinner ideas, watch Supper, Again?

Parve Dishes:

23. Falafel Platter by Brynie Greisman

Why make falafel if you can easily buy it? First of all, these taste amazing, and are healthier. Second, it costs a fraction of what it costs in the stores, and finally, it’s a really fun activity for a family dinner. What’s more — these mini falafel patties freeze well, but you probably won’t have any left! Thanks, HD.

24. Pita Pockets by Sara and Yossi Goldstein

Move over, falafel! The kale burger is tucked between crispy lettuce, juicy tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion for a classic pita sandwich. I added a drizzle of tahini and a sprinkle of feta for a finishing touch! Dr. Praeger’s veggie burgers make serving healthy dinners effortless, and with the variety of flavors available you can plan Meatless Mondays for the whole month.

25. Cornbread-Topped Vegetarian Chili by Rena Tuchinsky

A filling all-in-one-pan meal for days when you don’t want meat but also don’t want to stand in the kitchen slaving away. Tofu replaces meat in this chili, and you can’t even tell it’s in there!

Other Ideas:

26. Loaded Sheet-Pan Nachos by Chaya Suri Leitner

With the hot summer days coming up, who wants to stand in the kitchen cooking full meals? Especially when the kids always seem to be running to play outside… This makes a great light, fun supper that the kids can eat quickly before running off to play.

27. Cheesy Spinach-Stuffed Potatoes by Yehudis Mann

Creamy, flavorful goodness in each bite makes this a delicious and satisfying meal, even for non-spinach lovers!

30. Breakfast Power Bowl by Sara Goldstein

We all know that a good breakfast is extremely important for a focused and productive day. Breakfast foods in general are usually carb- or sugar-heavy, yielding not exactly the results we are looking for. This savory power breakfast bowl is loaded with “good for you” proteins, vegetables, and fats, making it a really nutritious way to start off your day! I love using cauliflower rice as a base since it’s light while still being a great canvas for the breakfast flavors in the bowl to shine through.

31. Avocado Toast for a Crowd by Avigael Levi

This is the ultimate dish for get-togethers, brunches, or casual lunches—everyone will love it!
