This year, the weather is pretty warm still, and we have no beef and a windfall of a LOT of chicken. A lot. So our menu is more chicken heavy than normal. We use the crockpot a lot to keep things going. I also have several days of dairy since our family prefers that overall. …

This week is Parshat Vayelech. It’s finally starting to be cool here now, which is great. I love fall, and it makes soups much more appetizing to my family! Rosh Hashana is behind us and Yom Kippur and Sukkot are to come, so we’re playing it relatively simple this Shabbat and incorporating leftovers when we can – mostly …

Tisha B’Av is normally a fast day and a day of great mourning. This Shabbat is the 9th of Av – yes, that’s Tisha B’Av! And we don’t fast or mourn on Shabbat. So this year, the fast will be observed on the 10th of Av, which is Saturday night and Sunday. Practically, this means …

Since we’re strictly vegetarian this week until Shabbat, it is a little different from normal weeks. You may have seen my post on vegetarian ideas for this week (if not, go and check it out!). I’ve written up my menu for the week. There is at least one fruit and/or veggie at every meal, but …

A hungry family is a grumpy one. And one that doesn’t get as much done as they could. In the past, it seemed like if I didn’t plan for each meal before Passover, it would end up being something like fruit, or maybe cereal and milk. Several times a day. So part of my …

In part 1, I went into WHY menu planning is so awesome. The summary: it can save you money, time, sanity, and help you eat better. Yay, menu planning! Now onto HOW to menu plan. The short answer is that everyone needs to find their own way; what works for me probably won’t be the …

This week, we’re making Pesach without the pressure of the real Pesach. 🙂 That’s right, I said it. The “P” word. If you’re like many people, just saying Pesach or Passover is something that might make you breathe a little faster. Some people like to start really early, some start the day before. But hey, …

I didn’t post a menu plan this week, but just in case you are wondering, here is our Shabbat menu as of now (subject to change, of course. 🙂 ) We’ve already made the layers for the 7-layer cookies, the chicken is eying me from the fridge, the sweet potatoes are waiting in the pantry, …

This week, we’re preparing for a big holiday party for Dh’s work colleagues on Sunday. That means LOTS of cooking–we’re doing falafel, latkes, and a cookie bar (expect several cookie recipes and a party planner soon, see cookie menu below). I’m making huge batches and planning for some for dinner some of the nights. Although …
