What’s Shabbos without chulent? When I started Whole30, I was honestly stumped. It had to be grain-free, legume-free, diabetic-friendly, and somehow filling enough for a long Shabbat afternoon—plus, my kids still had to actually want to eat it. No pressure, right? At first, I tried making a creamy soup with meat, …
This might sound too good to be true—but it actually happened: I got my kids to eat a Whole30 meal without a single complaint. How did I do it?Honestly… I’m still figuring that out 😅 I made burgers packed with vegetables and spices. They were …
I’m always on the lookout for something that feels like dessert but is actually good for me—and this Banana Cream Chia Pudding checks all the boxes. It’s sweet (naturally), creamy (without dairy!), and packed with fiber and healthy fats. I whipped this up on a whim one night with some ripe bananas I didn’t want to waste, and it turned into one of my favorite breakfasts, snacks, or desserts. It’s perfect for busy mornings, totally kid-approved, and a great way to feel like you’re indulging… while actually nourishing your body. Clean, kosher, and delicious—just the way I like it!
Banana Cream Chia Pudding
Shulie
This recipe was born from egg boredom. I was having eggs every breakfast and it wasn’t working for me anymore. I needed something that I could grab and go. I saw Mind over munch’s coconut chia pudding and I liked it but the flavor (and texture) wasn’t my cup of tea. I messed around with the recipe until banana cream chia pudding was born.
With a fork mash the bananas and place 1 mushed banana in each jar
Measure 1/8 cup of chia seeds into each jar
Measure 1/8 cup of coconut cream into each jar
Mix
Top up the jars with almond milk.
Cover shake and refrigerate
Let sit in fridge overnight
Open, sprinkle with cinnamon and enjoy
Notes
I wrote serves 1 because I find that I need to eat both jars to be satiated. But you can easily split it into 4 small bowls for dessert or have 1 jar for a snack.
Hey Everyone! If you’ve ever wandered through Yesh expecting only the basics—think rice, kosher snacks, and staples—you might be surprised by what’s hiding on those shelves. On my last trip, I went in for eggs and walked out with a cart full of Whole30-friendly, clean-eating …
If you’ve been around my kitchen long enough, you know I’m all about bold flavors—and shortcuts that don’t sacrifice taste. That’s exactly how Pestichurri was born: a happy hybrid of two of my favorite herby sauces—pesto and chimichurri.
I started playing around with this one day when I had way too much parsley in the fridge (a classic problem, right?). I wanted something fresh and zippy to serve over grilled veggies, but also creamy enough to stand in as a spread or dip. What came out of the blender was magic.
This sauce hits all the notes: tangy, herby, nutty, and smooth—plus it’s dairy-free, Whole30-friendly, and so versatile. We love it over roasted chicken, fish, potatoes, or even mixed into eggs. It’s one of those “accidental staples” that now always has a home in my fridge.
Pestichurri (Parsley Pesto–Chimichurri Hybrid)
Shulie
This sauce was born from one of those “use what’s in the fridge” moments. I wanted something bright, herby, and bold to bring life to simple proteins and veggies—and pestichurri was it. It’s part pesto, part chimichurri, and all flavor. The vinegar and lemon give it just the right tang, and the nuts add richness without dairy. I use it on everything from grilled chicken to roasted sweet potatoes.
