    When it comes to the Passover table, there are many stars: the slow-cooked brisket, the nostalgic matzo ball soup, the spicy maror horseradish spread. Growing up, our Seder was so long—with the reading of the Haggadah and retelling the story of the Jewish people’s escape from slavery in Egypt—that it could be hours before we’d get to the actual meal.

    If you’re a fan of ooey-gooey morning sweets, you’re going to love this cinnamon roll monkey bread. Normally, biscuits are used to make monkey bread, but this recipe replaces them with store-bought cinnamon roll dough.

Thankfully, some homemade candy recipes like candied lemon peels are foolproof enough that they don’t even require a candy thermometer or other candy-making tools.

The lemon peels are boiled to remove the bitterness from the pith, then are simmered in simple syrup to sweeten them up.

    Lemon chicken was one of my favorite dishes growing up. The tangy chicken cutlets were crispy on the outside and juicy and full of flavor on the inside. For us kids, it was just a meal we loved, but for my mom it was an easy chicken dinner she could make ahead on busy days, knowing her kids would have a nourishing, homemade meal when they got home. To make this lemon chicken recipe, seasoned chicken breasts are dredged in flour and seared until golden brown.
