This hummus recipe was handed down to me by my Syrian grandmother. I took it and tweaked it just a touch by adding roasted garlic, making it my most-requested recipe. I finally made it for my grandma a few months ago, and she said it was incredible — that was my Oscar moment! Even people who don't like hummus love this recipe. And I'm modest too!

Great-Grandmother Bubbie's Hamantaschen
Hamantaschen are fruit-filled cookies traditionally served during the Jewish holiday Purim. They are put in gift baskets and given to all one's friends. We always make extra, so there are plenty for us, too! This recipe includes the original filling from my great-grandmother's Polish recipe, but for a shortcut, you can substitute any flavor of jam.
