Menu planning Monday: Thanksgiving! (2011)

This week, we have a birthday, which means pizza and wacky mac in these here parts. 🙂 We also have Thanksgiving, which we are out for. But I get to make my favorite part of the meal: dessert! And for Shabbat, we have that red, red pottage from the parsha! As always, we keep breakfast …

Meal planning resources

A big part of organizing yourself is finding out what works for you, right?

Monday Menu planning

This week, we’re taking it easy as we recover from the cooking–and eating–we did over the month. I’m a little burned out! No guests for Shabbat this upcoming week, and I am almost exclusively sticking with what I already have here to help mitigate the “damage” the holidays have done to our budget.  I plan …

Menu planning Monday (Sukkot part 2)

This week, we have another 3 day Yom Tov run. We had a lot of guests (both eating and sleeping) over the first days, and a lot of leftovers, so we’re taking it easier this time. And yes, my menu is different than I originally planned–things keep changing. The cousins we have sleeping here had …

This week, Yom Kippur throws off a normal Shabbat rhythm. Instead of regular Shabbat meals, there are two meals before Yom Kippur and one to break the fast on Saturday night. Those meals shouldn’t be spicy, salty, or too sweet to help us fast well. Plus we are just coming off of a three day …
