Healthier pb cups, the best mashed potato hack, and where's your bar?
Issue 60 // JAM

Hi!
There's nothing like a Shabbos with cousins, and this week the kids really enjoyed playing this game (ideal for ages 7-16, prob).
And btw, these Honest Baby pajamas (so many prints!) are just $10 now with the coupon (some prints are $12.49) and these soft, pretty pajamas are just $9.99 in some colors for a limited time, highly recommend them!
One reader asked how to hang puzzles. We simply use puzzle glue and hang them using Command strips, another great idea was shared below.
Lastly — what’s one yummy supper you’re making this week? Reply with some good ideas 🙏

We make puzzles on a big cardboard, cover it with another cardboard when done and slowly flip. Then we use wide clear tape across the whole back of the puzzle, pressing carefully. Then we use T-pins to hang them on our bungalow and basement walls.
If at the end we’re a piece or two (depending on the puzzle) we’d find that expat spot on the box, cut it out, and place it behind the puzzle to fill in the missing space. Friends had to take a serious screening of the puzzle to find the spot!

JUST FOR YOU
🥔HACK: Make mashed potatoes without peeling or dicing. Boil potatoes whole and unpeeled. Lay a cooling rack over a bowl, slice each potato in half and place it cut-side down on the cookie sheet. Press the potatoes and they’ll (satisfyingly!) squeeze through the cookie sheet into the bowl, peeled and chopped.
🍫REC: Make these pb cups. They’re on my must-try list and contain just four ingredients!
Melt 3/4 cup chocolate chips and spoon 1 tsp melted chocolate into each mini muffin cup. Refrigerate for 5 mins.
Soak 8 Medjool dates in hot water for 5 mins, drain and add to food processor with 3/4 cup peanut butter and 2 T maple syrup. Process until you get a paste.
Scoop a spoonful into muffin tins on top of chocolate.
Melt 3/4 cup chocolate chips and top each pb cup. Optionally sprinkle flaky salt. Freeze & enjoy!
💍TIP: Start Purim prepping. (If you want to! No pressure here!) Two reader recommended mishloach manos packaging options:
👑 I dressed my daughter up as a princess and used these boxes for her mishloach manos. It fits a small snack bag with a nosh or two. Looks adorable and the kids get to use the box as a castle to play with afterwards!
📦 Use bakery boxes (like these) with a window in the cover. Stick a fabric, picture, notecard etc. under the cover and no matter what you fill them with, they’ll fit your theme, look beautiful, avoid cellophane and tape, and stack beautifully in the car.
