I have a confession to make. I’m not Jewish. But I do love Jewish foods like bagels, cream cheese and matzo ball soup. I’d never attempt to make bagels at home, since we have some of the best one’s in the world right here in Chicago. Same goes for corned beef sandwiches and brisket. But I’ve yet to find the perfect kugel recipe. So this weekend I decided to give it a try with the help of my kids.

Hummus, the chickpea spread that many of us know and love, is now at the center of the latest Middle Eastern conflict. Forget land settlements and religious wars. Let’s focus on something a little more important like say, who can make the largest serving of hummus? After some back and forth controversy, Israel now has the lead with a world record of more than four metric tons of hummus. The prior record had just been set in October by Lebanese hummus makers. But regardless of who is leading this war on hummus, we’re really just craving some hummus!
Bring on the hummus recipes! (Find them after the jump.)

We always associate chicken soup with comfort food and the idea of not feeling well (and rightfully so) but I say we can and should enjoy a bowl of chicken soup even when we feel great! Take this giant bowl of chicken soup from a restaurant called The Bagel in Skokie, Illinois for instance. Does a person who orders this large of a bowl really not feel well? No, they feel great! That’s because chicken soup tastes great and sometimes a big heaping bowl of the stuff can make a great dinner. Next time my mom makes her dreamy chicken soup, I’m requesting it be served in a large glass bowl like this one.
