This sweet matzo brei recipe was handed down from my Italian grandmother. Go figure — it's a Jewish Passover dish! Serve warm with cinnamon sugar, syrup, honey, or even powdered sugar. Double the recipe to serve a bigger family.

- 1 cup milk , or more as needed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon , or to taste

Pass matzo sheets one at a time under cool running water briefly, then crumble into a large bowl. Stir in milk, eggs, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla to form an evenly moist batter. Add more milk if batter is too dry.

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop a generous spoonful of batter into hot butter and flatten with the back of a spatula. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter.

Peppermint Schnapps Liqueur
An easy recipe for homemade peppermint liqueur. It goes great with hot chocolate!
Instant Pot Canned Tomato Salsa
Canning salsa requires cooking for me, so my Instant Pot salsa recipe is much simpler! Nothing beats fresh salsa in a blender when tomatoes are in season, but when they're not, you've got to go with plan B. Out-of-season, pink, mealy tomatoes are nasty, so I use canned tomatoes instead.
Dak Galbi (Korean Spicy Chicken Stir-Fry)
Dak galbi is another spicy, stir-fried chicken dish that all Koreans seem to love. The main dish between this and other spicy dishes is the addition of cabbage and usually perilla leaves, giving it a distinct and satisfying aroma. There are many dak galbi restaurants/quasi-bars that set up a single, large frying pan in the center of the table for everyone to enjoy the meal together (Koreans literally love eating together). Serve with rice.
