With long Motzei Shabbos nights here, there’s finally time to make Melaveh Malkah feel like something special. It’s said that washing for Melaveh Malkah is a segulah for many things, easy childbirth and even Techiyas Hameisim among them. Why not make it beautiful and delicious? Here are a few cozy, crowd-pleasing ideas.

Most of us find that the challah recipes our mothers and grandmothers always made just don't cut it here. Don't worry, it's not you.

Don't worry about the vinegar and baking powder - you won't taste it at all.

If you're team edge piece (and let's be honest, who isn't?), this pan is about to change your kugel life.
