We’re getting ready for Valentine’s Day and Shabbat by making love bug challah rolls. These cuties are extra simple to make too by using frozen bread dough rolls, and their adorable shape comes from baking them in a muffin tin! You’re invited to make them too with your own little love bugs!
Today I’m making special Valentines (Galentines!) for my girlfriends - sweet bracelets on a thread with 13 seed beads! Not only does the number 13 have special significance to the Hebrew word for love (Ahavah), a red string bracelet is also known in mystical Judaism to bring protection and luck, so these simple bracelets pack a lot of power! Whether you are making one for yourself or several for friends, we share the tutorial to make your own!
Here’s the cutest way to have apples and honey for a sweet new year - with our apple buns stuffed with pie filling! As of of right now this is my most favorite recipe for Rosh Hashanah. They’re so sweet and adorable, come bake some with us!
These adorable unicorn challahs are the perfect summer-pick-me-up! They’re extra fun for Shabbat or even getting through a long day. The shape also reminds us of the round challah we eat on Rosh Hashanah! The prep is super simple with frozen bread rolls (Shhh! It’s a secret! I’ll never tell). So grab a little, and let’s go make some magical fun!
Have you ever heard the Yiddish word Shluffy? It’s a loving word that tells your child, “It’s time to go to sleep.” Whether you have a little that easily goes to bed, or one that needs some extra encouragement, making a little Shluffy baby together is a sweet and loving activity that guarantees sweet dreams.
To get ready for Tu B’ Av (the Jewish Day of Love), we’re thinking of all the Jewish things we love, and one thing that makes our heart flutter is Challah on Shabbat! We love baking challah and making challah baby necklaces too - especially when they’re all wrapped up in a dainty challah cover. Come make one with us!
We’ve officially welcomed a new Jewish month - Tammuz, and with it the official start of summer! On the Jewish calendar, the summer season includes the months Tammuz, Av and Elul. Join us in celebrating summer with yummy foods, summer crafts and some special family outings.
With so much love in the air this month, we wanted to celebrate the love of family and friends this Shabbat with heart-shaped challah-pops! Little cakes on a stick are just so cute, and they’re so easy too! So let’s go make some Challah Heart-Pops!
