Rosh Hashanah menu 2018

I’m finished planning my menu for Rosh Hashanah. We do a lot of simanim, or “symbols,” (see this post about specifically what we use). I tend to leave a lot of these whole and recognizable, but this year, I’m branching out. Here’s my plan, including links to the recipes: Challah (and honey, of course!) Sauteed swiss …

The nine days started today (and meal ideas)

For the 9 days leading up to the fast of Tisha B’Av, we restrict certain things. One of these is food: we don’t eat meat (or drink wine) except for on Shabbat (or a few other circumstances, like a siyum.) (Note: Sefardim may observe these restrictions just in the week leading up to Tisha B’Av, …

Pesach menu 2014

I make my menu with a lot of flexibility. My seders are both the same (it’s just my family this year, and by the time the second seder starts beginning around 9:30pm or so!), I can’t imagine there will be too much eating from the littler people. Especially since we only have chicken legs and …

Sukkot menu 2013

My menu is done. This year is a little strange since we’re in a pop up sukkah in another country, and with just a few guests – and those are all family! These holidays are another set of three days outside of Israel. We should have good news and some upheaval sometime here, which makes …

9 days meatless meal ideas

For the 9 days leading up to the fast of Tisha B’Av, we restrict certain things. One of these is food: we don’t eat meat (or drink wine) except for on Shabbat (or a few other circumstances, like a siyum.) This starts after this Shabbat, but I wanted to make it easy to plan. (Note: …

Summer Shabbat lunch ideas

With summer coming, it’s time to think of cool and easy ideas for Shabbat lunches. I don’t usually use a slow cooker in the summer, and it’s good to have a list of options handy to help me plan. salads / spreads (like roasted eggplant, hummus, pepper, carrots olive tapenade, tomato dip, zhug) veggie tray (with dips?) sunflower seed …

Passover 2013 menu

This Passover, we are outside a big frum community – and outside our home country. We don’t have guests coming on Yom Tov, although there will likely be some other folks joining us for another meal or two. I ordered some Pesach food from the US, and some I’m making from scratch. We have only …

Shabbat Tetzevah and Purim Seuda menus 2013

With Shabbat and Purim squished together this year, I’m been making things for both days. Here’s our plan! Shabbat dinner: Challah and salads (homemade hummus, babaganoush, olive tapenade, and carrot) Matza ball soup (our last before Pesach!) Noodle kugel Beer BBQ chicken (crockpot, using my homemade BBQ sauce), without the coleslaw here, though. Brownies and …
