This takes pizza to a whole new level! I like to slice the crust before assembling so it’s easier to serve once baked. Thanks to my sister Chanie for the inspiration!

3. Pulled Beef Jerky Tacos by Chantzy Weinstein

I know you’ve all seen so many pulled beef recipes, but this jerky sauce takes it from ordinary and boring to new and trending. Since beef jerky is all the craze, I knew I wanted to incorporate those flavors as part of my menu, and that’s how this recipe was born. My son did a test run of these tacos with the boys in yeshivah, and they were huge fans!

9. Last-Minute Miami Ribs by Estee Kafra

This is one of my favorite last minute, never-fail sauces and tastes terrific on Miami ribs. It couldn’t be simpler to prepare. Miami ribs are beef short ribs (flanken) that have been sliced into thin strips across the bone by the butcher. They’re about 1/2 inch thick. Short ribs are a kosher cut of beef. In this recipe, they are baked in the oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit in a sweet honey-soy sauce for two hours.

10. Easy Breezy Crispy Stovetop Chicken by Michal Frischman

I love to embrace simple recipes without a lot of ingredients. This is the kind of chicken we have all year round, but stripped down — no soup mix, no flour, no extras. And you know what? It’s super delicious.

11. Mediterranean Baby Chicken by Miriam Greenzweig

21. Italian Supreme (Gelato Napoleon) by Tuscanini Gelato Contest

According to one theory, it was created by an Italian chef from Naples, who named it Napolitano after the city he was from. Enjoy!

22. 2-Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookie Truffles by Batsheva Kanter

23. The Cutest Har Sinai Cake Truffles For Shavuot (No Baking Required!) by Rachel Kor

I’m always looking for an easy and festive creation to display or serve on Shavuot. It’s a holiday when I seem to have a *little* extra time to spare on festive treats and pretty décor.

What I love about these cake balls is that they’re made from store-bought cupcakes and frosting, the 2-ingredient “moss” is made from crushed graham crackers and food coloring, and the Luchot (the Two Tablets) are candies dipped in melted chocolate.

There’s no true baking or cooking required, and kids of all ages can help and get in on the fun!

24. No-Bake Frozen Yogurt Bars by Sima Kazarnovsky

Whole grains? Check. Healthy fats? Check. Calcium? Check. Swirly, artsy thing going on in the middle? Check and check. With no oven needed, they take minutes to throw together.
