Menu Plan Monday: 14 Tevet, 5772

image Why the weird dates? Click here to find out! 

Welcome!  We’re a homeschooling Jewish family of 6 (2 parents, 4 kids) and all our meals are kosher.  Read my MPM intro here or just visit my big ol’ list of Everything We Eat.  We eat mostly vegetarian, and I try to include one vegan meal every single week – on Vegan Vursday, of course!

As always when I’m feeling busy and uninspired, I think I’ll steal a page from Tiffany’s book, over at Frugal Gourmet Mom.  She always has something “cooking” in the kosher yummy family food department!!!  Mmm… check out Wednesdays Roasted Asian Salmon!  And Tuesday’s meatballs were inspired by her too, indirectly.

Sunday (today):  Wings and other meat-type substances at Mommy’s house, with a side of bicker…

Monday:  Shells pasta, easy/lazy pasta meal, yum

Tuesday (Ted late):  Moroccan meatballs (like these ones) with fruity couscous

Wednesday:  Tiffany’s Roasted Asian Salmon with rice and stir-fry veg on the side

Thursday (Ted off, COC Noon Concert):  Homemade gnocchi (like the ones I made way back when…), with butter and parsley – not exactly vegan, but YUM!

Friday (Shabbos):  TBA!!!

There!  I am officially back on the menu-plan Monday wagon.  What’s cooking by you this week???

  1. The salmon sounds wonderful. Do you think it would work with several smaller filets all in one foil packet?

    BTW check out our big news

  2. I want to come over sometime when you're making gnocchi. Not to eat them (although that would be cool too) but to see how they're made. I love gnocchi so much that last time I was in Israel I brought back 20 packages of the stuff. Can't find kosher gnocchi anywhere in this town.

  3. @sweetcrunchyjewy: Sobey's up north has them, apparently. Ted bought 2 packages last week. Not enough!!!

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused on kids, including a
