Yom Kippur is almost here. Wishing you all a meaningful and successful fast and a good year ahead, full of health and happiness and peace and lovingkindness.
I'll quickly share my pre-fast menu - I have been very busy and haven't been posting much lately, but I really hope to get back into the swing of things, starting now!
Here's our plan:
Homemade Spelt and Oat Bran Challot (from the freezer)
Mushroom-Vegetable-Barley Soup
Date Honey Chicken
Potato Kugel
Apple Crisp
Roasted Veggies
Steamed Broccoli
Cucumbers and Tomatoes
We probably won't have any room for dessert, but I'm making chocolate chip squares right now!
I'm so excited to bring you my favorite tips, deals, great things to know and do for your life in Israel or for when you visit Israel! (please note: this blog contains affiliate links)

Pre-Fast Menu
Here's what we're having for our pre-fast meal!
I always have a huge debate about what to serve for the pre-fast meal. This year we're going with Shabbat food because Yom Kippur falls on Shabbat.
Whole Wheat Challah Rolls
Split Pea Soup
Chicken (not sure what kind, seems likely it will be whatever I find in the freezer )
Rice
Steamed Broccoli (found a bag of broccoli in the back of the freezer, may as well use it!)
Salad
For our post-fast meal, we'll be a little less formal.
We'll start with some juice and fruit, maybe the honey cake.
Then we'll have the leftover soup, and if anyone wants a sandwich or some pasta, that will be available too.
Wishing everyone an easy fast, and a gmar chatimah tovah.

Menu Plan
Help! I need a cooking and cleaning fairy or a packing fairy to show up at my place.
I'm so overwhelmed and kind of not getting enough done because of that.
As far as meals go, I figured that I cannot ignore two very important meals this week - BEFORE the fast, and AFTER the fast.
So here's the plan:
Before the fast:
Minestrone Soup
Fish (I have some fish fillets in the freezer, not sure how I'll prepare them, but maybe with grapes - since I kept getting advice to eat grapes for an easy fast!)
Spinach and Cheese Pie (I discovered a bag of spinach in the freezer I had forgotten about) or spinach and wheat berries casserole, I haven't decided.
Lettuce, cucumber, and mango salad
Of course, we'll have the required Egg and Bread too...
After the fast:
Fruit salad
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Minestrone Soup, and other leftovers from our pre-fast meal
We usually nibble our way through our after-the-fast meal, no one, except for our 14 yr old, wants to eat a whole lot at once.
What are you serving?
