How do you make this Hanukkah favourite?

Last year we found five awesome recipes to try and even ended up making a couple at home! Sweet potato and apple is a real winner, friends.

So, who’s eating latkes tonight? Care to share some family traditions? How many onions are you able to grate before you need to take a break? We’re pretty tough, so we’re gonna say… two. And what’s the superior apple sauce: sour cream: latke ratio? Being huge sour cream fans, we’re going to say 1: 3: 3… is that terrible? Fine. 1: 2: 3 but we’re not going any lower.

Latkes and blintzes can be a party on a plate.

Traditionally, many fried eats are made and consumed on Hanukkah. Sucking down a plate of grease-soaked carbs will suck the life out of you, especially if you happen to be a small child. These dishes are fine in moderation of course, but what about the other traditional dishes you want your kids to fill up on? Doughnuts need no assistance to be made fun. They leave us no mystery. What your kids DON’T know is that kugel and latkes can be a party on a plate! We’ve got some ways to make them appealing and a bit more healthy.

Ideas for Winter Break fun are coming at you daily over the next two weeks. We’ll also be rounding up some of Bunchland’s greatest ideas.

Winter Break is a great time to try out a recipe you keep meaning to make but put off when life gets too hectic. Now you can set aside a couple hours to lazily mix, pour and whip up something yummy, perfect for pairing with a movie. Here are some of the best recipes that have appeared in Bunchland.

First off, there must be a rule that you have to eat pancakes for breakfast every day, as long as you’re on Winter Break. It’s a world law, actually.

Admit it, you’ve been dying to try these Christmas tree cake pops. It’s cake on a stick! What more do you want?  Read more...

The Hanukkah season is upon us, which means it’s latke time!

For those of you who don’t celebrate the Festival of Lights, do you really need an excuse for fried potato deliciousness? Here are a few recipes to try this season:

We promise we’ll get you a good and traditional recipe, but first take a look at this crispy orange butternut squash number from Elana’s Pantry:

4 cups butternut squash
1 small onion
3 eggs
grapeseed oil for frying

Peel and grate your squash and onions and mix together with whisked eggs. Form 3-inch patties from the squash-onion-egg mixture. Heat the grapeseed oil in a large skillet and fry patties until golden brown, then flip patties to brown the other side. Remove from pan and drain excess oil with a paper towel-lined plate. Excellent with sour cream or applesauce.  Read more...
