I can't believe it's time to cook for Shabbat again! This week flew. Really. I don't know where it went...
So, taking stock of my pantry, fridge and freezer, here's my Shabbat menu:
Challot from the freezer
Soup - not sure yet what kind
Teriyaki/Honey Chicken
Rice (finishing off the rice in the house. oops, I hate having no rice left!)
Roasted Pumpkin with maple syrup (just a drop of maple syrup, really!)
Roasted Potatoes (I wanted to make potato kugel but I still haven't replaced my food processor!)
Make your own salad
Black Bean Cholent for lunch
Banana muffins
Chocolate chip cookies
And that is all I am cooking!
Ok, now I will be up all night. But the house is clean, so tomorrow can be a FUN Friday!
Shabbat Shalom!
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.
Looking good. Btw - it doesn't take so long to grate the potatoes for kugel - I do it because my processor came with only Hebrew instructions and I never worked out how to use the grater attachment.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I don't even have a hand grater. At least not that I can find! But seriously - figure out how to use the grater on your food processor. It will change your life!
DeleteWhen I make potato kugel, I use about 3-5 kg. That's a lot of potatoes to grate by hand, so I'll be looking for a food processor. Maybe that should be part of tomorrow's "fun"?! hummm...
What type of pumpkins do you use - please share recipe.
DeleteI got the 5 shekel/kg "dalaat" from eden teva. it looks like it has a lighter shell than a traditional pumpkin, but i wouldn't know what to call it other than pumpkin! I just simply cut it into cubes, tossed with a drop of olive oil so they won't stick to my pan, then drizzled on a bit of maple syrup. It's in the oven now at 200 C and will cook it for 45 min or more...
