Planning for Rosh Hashana

Planning for Rosh Hashana

I'm beginning my Rosh Hashana menu planning now, because I plan to make double this Shabbat and freeze, so a couple of meals for the holiday will be well underway. So far we have guests for 2 lunches for Chag, but none this Shabbat

So far, here's the plan for this week's cooking - I need to use up some of what is in the house before we go and get more. So here's what I can make right now using what I've already got, and hopefully there's enough here to freeze some to make Yom Tov easier!

Butternut Squash and Apple soup (making a huge pot!)
Vegetable soup
Spicy Roast chicken
Vegetable-Noodle Kugel
Roasted eggplant and kishuim
Something with beets
Apple Cake

If I find more I can make, I'll keep you posted. Going to start my chopping now!

Save money on gas!

This month (September 2014) you can save money on gas just by planning to fill up on Mondays!

TEN gas stations will be discounting the price per liter of gas - it will cost 7 shekels/liter on Mondays in September (from 6 am till 10 pm) instead of the regular, much higher price.

(In Eilat, gas will cost even less)

Check if there's a Ten near you or on a route you travel!

Happy savings!

Printable Coupon (pet food)!

Do you have a dog or a cat? (No, I don't have either! I am very allergic to both, but I'm still sharing this with my friends who have pets, even though pictures of cats make me sneeze)

If you do, it seems that you're in luck - you can get some coupons sent to you via SMS or you can print them out

Just go to the CIBAU/CIMIAO Facebook Page and request yours!
(you'll have to click "Like" on this page in order to get it to work)
