Make-Ahead Potato Kugelettes
For me, potato kugel is a once- or twice-a-year thing, on Jewish holidays. When I eat it, it has to be THE BEST. It is ideally made fresh, but nobody ever turned away a crispy delicious mini potato kugel (aka Kugelette)! My grandmother’s secret is in the oil—it must be Mazola corn oil for the best flavour. If you make this on Passover (and you don’t eat corn), you can substitute the corn oil for safflower oil.

Easy Homemade Frosted Pop Tarts
I loved Pop Tarts as a kid, especially in my summer camp days. This recipe is super easy because you use store-bought puff pastry instead of making a pie dough. The pop-tarts come together in less than 30 minutes and the results are yummy! You can use cinnamon-brown-sugar filling, your favourite jam or even Nutella. Make sure to coordinate the frosting to your filling! And don’t forget to defrost the puff pastry overnight (or all day) in the fridge. Note: Puff pastry warms up very quickly (and you don’t want that), so keep putting it in the fridge every step of the way. Makes 6 pop tarts.
