My mom found this bourekas recipe and made it for us over the holiday weekend. So good! Bourekas are Turkish, apparently.

Jessica made latkes last night (the first night of Chanukah) using this Martha Stewart recipe. They were awesome! We still have leftovers, which are delicious right out of the fridge. (Note: These are not to be confused with the meal worm cakes we accidentally bought in Vietnam. Oops.)

Fold in half. Drizzle and rub olive oil on both sides of taco. Broil on high on lower rack until golden and crispy. Flip and continue broiling until golden on second side and cheese is oozing.
