BBQ Potato Salad

True story – I had never made this potato salad before, but we were having a BBQ get-together at Prospect Park for my friend’s birthday, and they put me on potato salad duty. I wanted to make something a little different, so I whipped this up and it was literally the first thing to be POLISHED off at the BBQ! Suffice it to say, this is such a crowd pleaser. Potato salad always is!!

Cabbage Hamantasch Knish

I’ve been on quite the cruciferous kick these days, and I thought I’d have given up by now, but no! I’m having fun challenging myself to new cabbage creations, and thankfully my body loves cabbage as much as I do, so it works for me!

Growing up, my mom always made cabbage knishes for Shabbat and the holidays. She would sauté a bag of pre-shredded cabbage in some oil, season it with plenty of sugar, salt and pepper and stuff it into pockets of puff pastry. I love the addition of beef bacon here – plus a hint of mustard and maple and just a splash of vinegar to cut through it all makes the perfect filling.

Are you team sweet or savory hamantasch? Let me know in the comments below!
