Matzo Balls
Matzo balls (also spelled matzoh) are traditional Jewish dumplings, usually made with chicken fat and served in chicken soup. This vegetarian version tastes great in vegetable soup.
Comfort Food
What is comfort food? Something that makes us feel safe? Something that reminds us of home? Whatever it is, comfort foods tend to be soft, warm, and easy to prepare. Potatoes, pasta, and soups feature prominently. Here are some of my favorite comfort foods.

Noodle Kugel
Kugel is a traditional Jewish side dish that is usually slightly sweet but is often served as a side dish, rather than a dessert.
Noodles and Cheese
I don't know where this recipe comes from or if there's a nicer name for it; all I know is that my mother used to make it when I was a kid and it only has 5 ingredients. The buttery, almost smoky onion flavor and the melty cottage cheese are absolutely delicious!

Nut Gravy Ⓥ
This simple, nut- or seed-based gravy recipe will satisfy your cravings at Thanksgiving or any other time of year.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is one of the great breakfasts - not only is it packed with nutrients, it's also easy to cook and can be customized to your heart's content.
Ocean Chowder
This is a rich and delicious vegetarian alternative to New England clam chowder.
Onion Confit
Onion confit is basically caramelized onions with a couple of additional ingredients. Don't let its simplicity fool you - onion confit is a terrific addition to pizza, pasta, mashed potatoes, and curry.
