This week has been busy, with about 40 additional children coming in and out of the house for a few gatherings. And they were all homeschoolers. We went through the knees of 2 pairs of pants (touch/ kind-of-tackle football with kids ranging from 5-12), dozens of cookies (mostly leftover from my Hanuka party cookie bar), …

As I posted about here, I recently was hospitalized and didn’t get to prep anything for Shabbat. Now, we could have had Shabbat meals from whatever we could find or tried to organize things to go buy the whole thing, but it was nice to have my emergency Shabbat meals set aside. We pulled the …

You may have noticed it’s been a quiet few days here on OJH. I do try to post most days. But it has been a few days, and I have a good reason to share with you. I started feeling sick on Wednesday, and spent Thursday from the wee hours of the morning in so …

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, …

Six days a week we run around and manage our businesses, families, schools, and life in general. Things can be (OK, often are) crazy. And one day we can relax and rest from those duties. But that rest means planning ahead, something which can be a challenge for everyone! For me, it’s often the last …

The world is a messy, disorganized place. The human world at least – Hashem’s creation is amazingly complex and perfect. There it is. The “P” word. Perfect. I’m the kind of girl who longs for perfection. In fact, I think that many of us long for perfection. The perfect evening, the perfect spouse, the perfect …

Six days we work. Six days we carpool, and cook, and do laundry, and answer telephones, and run around keeping it all together for ourselves and our families. And on Shabbat, time stops. No carpooling, cooking, laundry, telephones, television, no internet. What a blessing! But time “off” like this doesn’t just appear. These blocks of …

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, …

Today, I septupled this recipe to make kugels to freeze. (Pretty sure that’s right – septupled? Seventhed isn’t right, so I’m going with septupled… 😉 ) One batch makes enough for about 1 9 inch square pan, to serve 3-4 for a main course or 6-8 for a side dish. Good for Passover, too! Broccoli …
