| Please share your holiday menu! This is my first year hosting and need inspiration. I think we have 8 adults and a bunch of kids. |
| Which meal are you hosting? Lunches or dinner? Kol nude dinner or break fast ? |
| OP her - I'm contributing to a variety of meals, but hosting kol nidre dinner. Brisket, chicken, kugel, veggies? Is it that simple? |
Keep Kol Nidre dinner short and sweet. People need to get to shul Whatever you make, make sure it's low sodium. Your menu sounds lovely. Add a salad and an apple cake and you're done.
|
The Holidays feature nude dinners? I need my Jewish friends to invite me over. |
| The WaPo Food section had a good looking apple cake recipe today. |

This is as far as I've gotten so far. We r vegetarian, hence some of the randomness--Matzoh ball soup
Seitan normandie Honey carrots Mashed potato/cauliflower Tarte tatin cake Red lentil cakes Asian slaw Carrot rice Honey cake Lunch-- kugel Yom Kippur--- seitan brisket, kasha |
|
Matzoh ball soup ( bc everyone loves it)
Apples and honey on the table Noodle kugel Brisket Potato latkes with applesauce Asparagus To break fast we have bagels from my flown in to our catholic neighbor that day and we do bagels and lox. |
Whoops, and jelly donuts. |
| I've got to ask, where/when did the jelly donuts become traditional? |
Sufganyiot! Delicious. But we do them only on Chanukah |
Thanks, this is interesting. |
|
OP again - I do sufganiyot for chanukkah too - I think it's a fabulous idea to create more reasons to deep fry throughout the year! But I will likely stick with the apple cake. Maybe a honey cake too. (PP - on chanukkah it's the tradition to have lots of fried foods, hence the donuts)
I think I can handle this. I do have limited oven space, but I can do the brisket in the slow cooker, leaving one oven shelf for veggies and kugel, and the other for chicken. Salad can get made during the day. Perhaps soup. |

You don't know it yet, but you want to make this:
http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Apple-Matzoh-Kugel-104862 Make ahead, stores amazingly. Reduce the sugar and add extra matzoh. |
I make it for the Seder. There is never any left over. |
