Passover- menu changes and how it’s going so far

You may remember my 2015 menu plan, written just a few short days ago. It looks great on paper, and I tried not to go too overboard and keep it flexible so we could get what seemed good for the day. But still, I found that things have changed since then. I’m not the only …

Passover 2015 menu

It’s that time again! Passover is coming, and I’m making my menu plan. It’s more fun than cleaning! 😉 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 around 9:30pm or so!, I can’t …

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, …

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 …

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 …

Sukkot menu 2012 / 5773

 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. …

Meals Around Passover

  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 …
