Tonight marks the beginning of Shavuot, the Jewish Holiday Dairy Fress Fest! Below are a few recipes to celebrate — some are the obligatory dairy dishes, and a few are creamy and delicious and NON DAIRY (It's best when everyone get's to join in on the food fun, even those with allergies and those who are lactose. Yes, you get to pig out too!)!
If you don't celebrate the holiday, do you really need a reason to eat tasty appetizers and pasta?
Broccoli Cheddar Bites:
I’m all about the broccoli cheddar combo. I adore all things mini and love nothing more than a great tasting perfectly sized appetizer.
Ingredients:
2 heads of broccoli
2 eggs
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup of cream cheese
1 1/4 cups of bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
Directions:
Steam broccoli. Once soft, place in large mixing bowl and mash together. Add eggs, cream cheese, 1/4 cup of bread crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic and cayenne pepper. Mix well until combined. Wet your hands and shape the broccoli mixture into balls, about the size of falafel balls/walnuts. (about 1 tablespoon of broccoli mixture) Dip the balls into the remaining bread crumbs, then place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spray cooking oil on top of balls then bake on 375′ for about 20 to 25 minutes until slightly crispy. Serve several balls on skewers or individually on a platter with a combo of mayo and ketchup on the side.
*Tips&Tricks: You can also use the broccoli mixture to make a quiche. Simply put the mixture in a prepared pie crust and bake for about 45 minutes. Or make mini pies with it! Top pies with bread crumbs and extra shredded cheddar cheese.For those of you cheese lovers, wrap the broccoli mixture around cheddar cubes for a super cheesy filling!
It moved us nearly to tears to see the beautiful message the second graders of Pathway School Of Discovery prepared for their moms for Mother's Day, in the form of Boyz II Men's A Song For Mama!
Well, it turns out we weren't the only ones moved!
Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to see the special greeting Boyz II Men sent to the kids, along with autographed pics! The principal responded:
"Thank you very much for sending this. I walked over to Mrs. Richards’ class and they were in the middle of watching it."
Awww! What a nice gesture! You can tell someone raised these Boyz right!
Mothers who were asked to observe their children's classroom at the Pathway School of Discovery in Ohio had no idea they were about to be treated to the cutest flash mob of all time!

No, Katie Couric's daughters don't need to buy her a waxing kit for Mother's Day!
Those are milk mustaches!
The Today host and her two lovely daughters will be starring in an upcoming "Got Milk?" commercial, so they've put on the iconic white 'staches! Katie says:
"It was really fun to have my daughters be a part of this.
We're very, very close, and one of the messages I've tried to convey to them ever since they were little was the importance of eating healthy and eating the right nutrients and having a good breakfast.
And milk really is a part of our daily routine."
You can find out what else milk- and Mother's Day- mean to Katie in a behind-the-scenes video …AFTER THE JUMP!!!
