 Hamantaschens
Ingredients for dough: 1/4 cup browned butter 2/3 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 large eggs 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1 1/4 cups flour Ingredients for hazelnut filling: 3/4 cup hazelnuts (or just a handful) 1 tbsp flour pinches salt 1/3 cup granulated sugar 4-5 tbsp browned butter 1 egg 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp flavoring - orange liqueur Making the browned butter: Take 1/4 cup of butter and melt in the a pan. Keep constantly stirring… Eventually, it will begin to smell more nutty – and the coloring will begin to turn a light and kind of pleasant hazelnut brown. At this point, you’ve done it! Success! Take that, and add it to your mixing bowl. Waiting for the butter to cool… Okay. Then, whisk sugar, vanilla – then eggs, salt and baking powder. Add 2 1/4 cups of flour. Divide the dough into two large disks and place it in the fridge for probably around an hour. If you have a food processor, simply put the hazelnuts, salt and sugar in the machine and grinding them. Brown an additional 4-5 tbsp of butter at this point, and add it to your mixture. Add your egg and the additional flavoring Place it back in the fridge to cool, since it will be easier to scoop. THEN, you can make your chocolate filling, if you’re so inclined. Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350F/175C, and prep some baking sheets with parchment paper. Flour your counter accordingly, and begin to roll out the dough. The thickness does actually matter here, because the dough is so flaky. Take a glass or a cookie-cutter, and begin to cut out little circles for your hamantaschens. In the center, take a teaspoon of your filling, roll up the sides nearest to you and pinch the top of the dough into a triangle shape. Put them on your baking tray, put them in the oven for 11 minutes, checking after that to see how they’re doing. Eat and Enjoy! But if don't have time.... The Quickest and Easiest Snack to Celebrate the Jewish New Year? Cut up some apples into slices and dip them in honey. It’s one of the simplest ways and a classic treat that’s often served as synagogues for the children. Delicious and (somewhat) healthy.

chocolate covered matzah and matzo ball soup: traditional jewish-American Roots // Gabriella Gricius9/1/2017  Chocolate Covered Matzah
Ingredients 4-6 sheets of matzo (depending on how much space you have on your baking sheet) 1 1/2 stick butter 3/4 cup sugar (I know it seems excessive and it is… but it’s also delicious) 14 oz Semi sweet chocolate 14 oz milk chocolate 1. Preheat the oven to 400F, cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil 2. Lay the baking sheet with matzo – as much as you can!! 3. Melt the butter and sugar together on the stovetop – and spread it on top of the matzo 4. Pop it in the oven for 3 minutes, take it out and break the chocolate evenly over all the matzo 5. Watch the chocolate melt and add your own creativity to the mix. Crumble oreos, almonds, sea salt, or even some cayenne pepper! Matzo Ball Soup Ingredients 1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds) 2 large onions, diced 2 stalks celery, chopped 6 carrots, chopped 6 tbsp chopped fresh parsley 6 tbsp dill salt and pepper 2 eggs 1 Manischewitz Matzo Ball & Soup Mix 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Here, there’s a slight dispute in my family about what’s best. Do you keep the extra vegetables and chicken in the soup? I personally like my matzo ball soup with vegetables and chicken, but others prefer to take them out and use them for other recipes and keep matzo ball soup pure and delicious. Either way, it’ll be delicious, so what are you waiting for? Go out and make a batch!  Apple Cinnamon Pie

I’ve always been in tune with my body and diet. As soon as I start to eat anything that strays from my normal (largely plant-based, meat and dairy moderated), I immediately feel bogged down. A healthy diet has long been a big part of my life as it makes me feel good, helps me perform athletically and keeps me full throughout the day. Consider this recipe the food pairing to the What the Health film review. Not only is it easy to make and fills you up, but it makes your body happy and is super tasty.
