Shish Kabob Marinade
This marinade, provided by Paula Levine Weinstein and Julie Komerofsky Remer, is great for chicken, beef and fish. For a healthier marinade, the oil can be omitted.

E.T.'s Honey Marinade (Meat)
Everyone in our neighborhood in Israel knows to call E.T. with marinade questions. I like E.T.'s Honey Marinade best on boneless chicken thighs (pargiot in Hebrew), but E.T. says this marinade works well on any poultry.

E.T.'s Lemon Marinade (Meat)
This marinade couldn't be easier. It works great with all kinds of poultry, but we usually use this marinade on boneless chicken breasts. For best flavor, make sure to use fresh lemons and garlic.

E.T.'s Marinade for Steak (Meat)
The lemon in this marinade tenderizes the steaks. The soy, garlic and parsley work with the lemon to add super flavor to the meat. E.T.'s Marinade for Steak is easy and tasty.

Cauliflower Broccoli Salad (Parve)
I made this Cauliflower Broccoli salad for our Israeli Independence Day picnic. The carrots and red onion add color, and the sunflower seeds and cashews add flavor. The simple dressing consists of mayonnaise, red wine vinegar and brown sugar. Everyone loved it, and it made a nice, lite accompaniment to the grilled meat.

Colorful Corn Salad (Parve)
When we have guests over in the summer, I like to put a variety of fresh salads on the table. This Corn Salad is one of my favorite salads to serve because it is colorful, delicious, and easy to make. This salad is also perfect for summer cookouts or picnics because it is parve and travels well.

Easy Three Bean Salad (Parve)
This Three Bean Salad is the perfect parve picnic salad. It is quick and easy to prepare. It travels well. And it is so tasty that even the kids will ask for more.

Edamame Tomato Salad (Parve)
Who doesn't love edamame? These soybeans are delicious and nutritious. Edamame, soybeans that are harvested while still green and not yet hardened, have a sweet, nutty flavor. They are low in fat and high in protein, vitamins A and B, and calcium. While these beans can consumed as a snack, they can also be easily incorporated into salad recipes.

Macaroni Salad for Kids (Parve)
This child-friendly Macaroni Salad can be the starchy side dish on your barbecue menu. While this simple pasta salad can be easily dressed up with cherry tomatoes, red onion, broccoli, carrots or other raw vegetables, my kids prefer it plain.

Chocolate Chip Cookies - from Levana Kirshchenbaum (Parve)
Too many times I've wanted to make Chocolate Chip Cookies, but discovered that either my margarine was not soft enough (at room temperature) or I did not even have margarine. So I was thrilled to find the recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies made with vegetable oil in Levana Kirshchenbaum's cookbook, Levana's Table.
