I'm really serving my Thanksgiving menu on Friday night, instead of Thursday. Pretty standard practice here among the ex-pats, I think!
Here's what I think I'm making:
Vegetable soup (heavy on the carrots, since they are 2 NIS/kg at mega!)
Roasted Turkey Legs
Pomegranate Chicken
Grilled fennel (in my stove top grill pan) (2 NIS/kg at mega!)
Roasted potatoes (2 NIS/kg at mega!)
Stuffed peppers (green peppers are on sale for 2 NIS/kg at mega!) - stuffed with rice and vegetable pilaf
Breaded Eggplant with tomato sauce (eggplant is on sale for 2 NIS/kg at mega!)
Avocado - my kids like them plain, and all the ones that were left from that sale a couple of weeks ago are suddenly ripe!
So - in short, our Thanksgiving dinner is a celebration of all the local in season produce I can find!
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.
I think pizza baguettes and soup make a good Thanksgiving dinner.
