This week I baked a Hormone Monster challah! Yesterday was the birthday of the always hilarious @nickkroll. Not only is Nick a co-creator and exec producer of Big Mouth (one of the funniest shows ever!), he’s the voice of Maury the Hormone Monster. He also voices like half of the characters on the show, including Coach Steve, who was my first Big Mouth challah I made a few years ago (yeah look it up on my feed, it’s the one that looks like a John Oates challah). This is the most um “anatomically correct” challah I’ve made to date. The final season of Big Mouth premiered a couple weeks ago, so go watch, because if not “Rage! Rage! F-ing Rage!!!” Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Tiny Chef challah! Have you seen the cutest, most awesome show on Nickelodeon? I wish Tiny Chef Show was around when my kids were little. A year ago, Tiny Chef made matzah ball soup on one episode and it was the cutest thing ever. Such a mensch. I think he would appreciate the matcha I used to color him green. Also, this Sunday is the holiday of Shavuot, so for everyone celebrating, chag sameach...and of course Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Rutgers Scarlet Knight challah! It’s graduation time for students all over the country. We are insanely proud of our son Jack, the HS graduate in our house, who is going off to Rutgers University (Mason Gross) next year to study music composition…so I made him this challah. It’s been a difficult week for many of us, so it’s a relief to look forward to and celebrate a simchah (joyous event) such as this. Congratulations to all the graduates and Shabbat shalom! BD’E and Z’L for SM and YL ❤️

This week I baked a Black Parade challah! One of my favorite albums is My Chemical Romance’s The Black Parade and you can’t forget the Grand Marshal of the parade, Pepe. It’s one of those albums for me that I listen end-to-end over and over, still 19yrs later. Today is also the minor Jewish festival of Lag Ba’Omer and I think the message from The Black Parade of “We’ll Carry On!” resonates really well with this holiday. Chag sameach and Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Mrs. Incredible challah! This Sunday is Mother’s Day and one of the most incredible mothers in cinema is Helen Parr (aka Elastigirl), voiced by the wonderful Holly Hunter (also a mom herself). The dough surely raised up appropriately on this one #iykyk. Wishing a happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, aunts, pet moms, and anyone who feels motherly. Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Queen Padmé Amidala challah! This Sunday is May the 4th…Star Wars Day! Padmé was portrayed by one of our favorite Jewish American queens, Natalie Portman, so this post doubles as my Jewish American Heritage Month challah as well. I made an isomalt candy jewel for her and used dutch-processed cocoa, edible gold, and red gel for coloring. May the Force be with you and Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Goonies Skeleton Key challah! It’s the first Shabbat after Passover and the custom is to make a challah in the shape of shlissel (key) because it supposedly unlocks blessings for the family. BUT…there’s nothing saying it has to be a key that would work in a door HAHA. I did bake an actual key INTO the challah, just ya know, cover my bases. Do you remember this skeleton key (Copper Bones) from The Goonies? Did you know the movie came out 40 years ago this June?? INSANE! Goonies never say die. Shabbat shalom!

EXODUS!! This week I baked a Bob Marley matzah! As Bob sang in his nearly-8-minute-epic-song Exodus, ”movement of Jah people!” (although probably not much “movement” in certain situations for us due to excessive matzah consumption this week ugh). But we trod through great tribulation, mah people. I used some dutch-processed black cocoa for the coloring mmmmm. Chag sameach and Shabbat shalom! L’shanah haba’ah b’Yerushalayim.
