Meat & Poultry

Any food made with meat or fowl is considered "meat" (basari in Hebrew, fleishig in Yiddish) by Jewish Dietary Laws. Kosher certified meat 1) comes from an animal that chews its cud and has split hooves, 2) is slaughtered according to Jewish dietary laws by a trained kosher slaughterer, and 3) has been salted before cooking.
Hamburger (Meat)
Growing up in Israel, I foolishly thought "kizizot" were hamburgers. And then I went to America and met the real thing. And when my American girlfriend's parents served these hamburgers, the thought of proposing first crossed my mind.
Sloppy Joe (Meat)
It's Sloppy Joe's fault. Upon returning home from school one day, my 15-year-old son was greeted by Sloppy Joe. His stomach began to gurgle and his mouth began to water, and then my son, a vegetarian of two years, became a carnivore. I thank this winning recipe for converting my son and making my life as the family chef easier.
Easy Turkey Gravy (Meat)
This easy Turkey Gravy recipe will perfectly complement for your Thanksgiving turkey. It is a simple and quick gravy to make when you are expecting a crowd, and it is delicious too. Your guests will love to sop up any extra gravy with their cornbread and mashed potatoes.
Beef Strudel (Meat)
Ground beef and puff pastry are a popular combination, especially for kids. When I have a large crowd over for Shabbat and want to serve a variety of main course dishes, I serve this Beef Strudel along side Roast Chicken. Rolling the pastry up like a jelly roll gives the dish a more festive look than simple Meat Pie.
Farfalle Hotdogs
You just walked in the door to find a house full of hungry kids? In ten minutes, this hot, child-friendly, and all-inclusive meal can be on the table. Just boil the pasta, boil the hotdogs, saute the carrots, and mix. Now you can go take a hot bubble bath!
