Sorry for not posting for a couple of days. Life got in the way. My computer has been turned into the telephone - it's they way we communicate with friends and family overseas - webcam and magicjack - and it's hard to find time to just write. It's been especially busy the last couple of days...
In addition, I have been feeling seriously burned out. Not just cooking burnout, just plain burnout. Sometimes life gets like that. Trying to figure out ways to recharge without actually abandoning my children...
:-)
Anyhow, here's the supper plan for tonight:
Pitot with vegetarian taco filling
Cucumbers
Potato Bourekas (working on the freezer cleanout)
Artichokes (that's what happens when my younger 3 children accompany me to the store. they see artichokes and start dancing. isn't that nuts? not exactly frugal but they were a lot less expensive than last time I saw them - only 8NIS/kilo - so I bought them. at least they weren't begging for candy!)
A bit of a hodge-podge menu, I admit, but everyone ate happily, which was the goal. When my hubby gets back from his trip, I'll have to re-start the "organized" menus...
Have a good day!
I started this site because so many of the frugal food sites I love are just jam-packed with recipes that are decidedly un-kosher. And lots of other frugal living sites are extremely religious, and not in a Jewish way. And that just wasn’t working for me. I hope that I can share some ways to be frugal AND kosher. And share some of my thoughts about our life since making Aliyah. Oh, and if you share my recipes, menus, musings, etc, please link back to this blog. Thank you.
My kids love artichokes - but I usually only buy them at around 5 NIS a kilo - having said that they are so labour intensive it keeps them quiet for a while when they eat them...
ReplyDelete@Janice - Love it!
ReplyDelete(And thanks for the tip that they'll go down in price still. Still learning the pricing structure here! I knew 14NIS/kilo was high, but I wasn't sure if 8 was high or not. 5 sounds awesome!)
