Wintery Food - Lots of Stews and Soups
This is supposed to be quite the week here in Israel! Not only are they predicting up to 250mm of rain in my area, they are also expecting winds up 100 km/hr. And snow in the higher elevations!
BRRR
If your house is anything like mine, it has heaters, but it's pretty drafty and nearly impossible to keep warm.
We're piling on the layers, wearing our warmest socks and sweaters (I found some wool-blend socks which do a pretty good job of keeping toes warm), and walking around with steaming hot mugs in our hands.
We're drinking tea and coffee, some hot chocolate, and if I get some apple juice, we'll make mulled mock-cider.
We'll be getting filled up with toasted sandwiches and soups. And stews.
Here are some to try out:
Vegetable Stew with Eggplant and Red Lentils
Lentil Stew
Split Pea Soup
Pumpkin Soup
Chunky Tomato Soup with Rice
Tomato Soup with Black Beans
Minestrone Soup
My Fusion Soup
Traffic Light Soup
Carrot and Red Lentil Soup
Crock Pot Tomato Soup
"Garden" Pea Soup
I hope that helps inspire you to make some soups! Please let me know what YOUR favorites are!

Shabbat Menu
I need to make sure I get it all done tomorrow, so I'll share my Shabbat menu here!
This way, I know where to look when I get completely sidetracked and don't remember what I still need to make...
We're having a quiet Shabbat, but with 6 of us in the family, including a teenage boy, that hardly means minimal cooking!
Here's the plan:
Homemade Whole Wheat and Flaxseed Challot
Split Pea Soup (Friday night) - using up the last of my split pea stash, must get more!
Vegetarian Cholent (lunch) - also finishing up the black beans! Add those to the list!
Oven-fried Chicken (I mix equal parts whole wheat flour and yellow corn meal with spices of my choosing - usually black pepper, cayenne pepper, parsley, and granulated garlic. Coat chicken pieces with mixture. Arrange in a baking pan, and bake, covered, for about 2 hrs at about 200 C - coating will get all deliciously crispy)
Rice
Carrot Muffins
Potato Kugel, if I tovel the food processor blades! (otherwise, more roasted potatoes. I got potatoes very cheap this week...)
make-your-own-salad (we have cucumbers, red peppers, tomatoes, avodado...)
Apple Crisp
Chocolate Babka - made with- gasp! - white flour! can you believe it?
Also making:
maple-cinnamon breakfast bread or muffins
What are you making?

Big Sale
IKEA has a BIG Sale going on at their Israel Stores.
You may know that in general I think Ikea Israel is overpriced for what you get. HOWEVER, if there is a great sale, you may just find an awesome deal.

Breakfast Trouble
Breakfast...
It has become SUCH a problem in my house lately.
What do you eat for breakfast? What about your kids?
I have one family member who has decided that cholent is the ideal breakfast.
One who wants to eat pasta or pizza.
Some eat oatmeal or granola...
HELP!
The cholent request was actually easy. I made a larger than usual vegetarian cholent for Shabbat and kept it pareve. I packaged it up into individual servings and those are frozen. They are in ovenproof containers. The cholent can be popped into the toaster oven before shul and should be steaming hot when shul is over. At least in theory.
I basically nixed the pasta and pizza request, but maybe I can accommodate that in the same way as the cholent request. Maybe I should make individual size baked ziti and freeze them -or something like that - for THAT person to pop in the toaster oven before davening!
I can handle oatmeal and granola requests. Those are normal...
I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time dealing with breakfast right now, though, since it takes so long to negotiate what each person will eat. And then get them to clean up when they are done... And my kids still think I should just buy cereal. They have this obsession with junky cereal they had at someone's house. The kind that looks like little chocolate chip cookies. That's their constant request. Sigh.
I try so hard to make sure they have healthy and delicious and frugal food. And they just want junk that won't help build strong bones, muscles, or brains.
What's an Eema to do?

Shabbat Menu
I can't believe it's almost Shabbat again!
The week really flew.
It's pretty incredible how that happens - on Monday you're thinking, "how will I EVER get through this week?" and by Thursday night, you just can't believe how quickly it went!
But that means it's time to cook for Shabbat again!
Here's my plan, I'm hoping that it will keep everyone happy.
Homemade Challah (I'm really low on flour so for the first time in a LONG time I will only make a small batch)
Vegetable soup (found some cheap cabbage this week, so I threw that in the pot to saute with the onions, also used garlic, celery, carrots, and kishuim/summer squash)
Vegetarian Cholent for lunch (DO soak that barley overnight first, it makes such a difference. I don't know why, but it does!)
Chicken - haven't figured out how I'm preparing it yet.
Rice (as usual)
Roasted potatoes (old standby too)
Honey-Cinnamon Oranges
Israeli Salad
Apple Crisp
Are my menus too boring and predictable? I keep coming back to the same old things, because that way I know my kids will eat the food I make! Last week I made roasted red peppers and no one touched them! What can I do?
