i kno it’s after shabb already but for futured ideas heres some ideas:
fri night:
1st course – starter such as ribs over rice, meatballs on rice, salamon, meat turnovers and some times fish. with dips (lots of them!) and salads
2nd – chicken soup! with lots of veggies – carrots, zucchini, celerey, squash, onions, mushrooms…and homemade croutons of course!
3rd- main course – a meat and chicken, normally potato kugel and apple crisp and then 2 side dishes such as cranberry relish or root veggies or a veg crunch or asparagus or s/t and reg salads such as cucumber and cole slaw
dessert: some sort of cake and ice cream and candy and fruit platters
shabbos day:
eggs and salads
chulent, deli roll, chicken cutlets, kugel and salads
dessert: whatever we have!
and then…sleep!
KeepinEntertained: i’m so comin over!!!
mazel77: each meal i’ll go to someone else!!! i sound homeless!!!! ha ha you should see my house, i’m so not a homeless!!!
ames: ha thanx i could always count on ya!!!
mazal77: ha good one!!! ok yeah i love good food!!!
Mushroom rice
In a casserole bowl put:
1 cup rice
2 cups water
1 can mushrooms (with juice)
3 1/2 T onion soup mix
1/4 C margarine (sliced)
Bake at 375 until done (mixing occasionally)
your all more than welc, although i cant tell u where to find me bec that would break the cr rules!
and jaymatt, we make the same rice in my house! yum!
KeepinEntertained: great save me a seat at your table then!!!
and then…sleep!
After eating all that – that’s about all you CAN do!!!!
I read somewhere that you can use honey as a substitute for molasses. but i have never done so yet so i cannot vouch for its success rating
oomis, not everyone has to (or does) eat everything! we just have to have a variety and nice spread!
any ideas for nice and easy desserts? i like making pretty and good tasting but not complicated and patchked up! like this week i made choc chip pie (hot, like runny chip) with ice cream … any other ideas?
I made sweet and sour salmon last week. I love doing it because it lasts in the fridge so I make enough for 2 (or even 3) weeks and then I don’t have to woory about fish for a while. BTW if anyone is interested my recipe can be made with Splenda. If you want the recipe (really easy) speak up.
lakewood, that’s really a long time to keep fish. food poisoning.
ames, actually not! it always sound complicated – is it not?
lakewoodwife: Sounds delicious. Can you make it with the skin off?
How about that recipe? Thanks.
ames – that’s a trap isn’t it? You want me to give over personal info and get fired from my new moderator job so you can apply to be my replacement, right? j/k.
ames – sounds good! theres no vienesse crunch or a/t involved?
the 2nd layer of lady fingers u dip in coffee too or no?
and also, where do u buy lady fingers when its not pesach??!?
cherrybim (& anyone else who’s interested):
Slice 1 or 2 onions into rings. Separate rings in the bottom of a large pot (I usually use a 6qt farberware -for 10 to 20 pieces- but last time I tried it in my large fry pan-3in sides & it was great) pour in sugar (or splenda) until the onion is mostly covered (my mother always says it should look like snow covered mountains).Heat on low/med flame until the sugar melts and the onions are soft and translucent (if you are using splenda it will not really melt it just gets stickyish and the onions will not get as soft- that’s fine just continue with the rest). Add 2-3 bay leaves & about 1 tablespoon of whole peppercorns. Add water and white vinegar in a ratio of 2 parts water to 1 part vinegar so that you will have enough to cover your fish. Cook till heated through. Add fish-you can use whitefish slices or salmon steaks but my favorite is 1inch pieces of salmon fillet (with or without skin). Simmer (covered or partially covered, if you can) on low flame until fish is cooked through, try to avoid mixing, as that will cause the fish to break. Cool slightly in the pot (the longer it cools at this point, the less likely it is to break when you put it into a container. Carefully transfer fish to container with onions and spices, cover with liquid and refrigerate.
Moish01: the vinegar and spices are essentially pickling the fish which prevents spoiling for much longer periods of time. Trust me, I’m pretty neurotic about spoiled food!
Are you kidding? I thought that baby fingers was because it is not tznius to think about “lady fingers”. You’re telling me that they are two distinct items?
lakewoodwife: gets extra points from mod72 for telling us we could replace the sugar for splenda!!!
lakewoodwife: Thanks
Cherrybim:
- It usually needs about 20 min.
- The bay leaves & peppercorns give the best taste, I did know someone who used pickling spices instead, I didn’t particularly like the taste, but some people did (feel free to try it & let me know what you think).
Hatzlacha & B’taovon!

How do you all have time to make this big shabbos spreads??
my mother went away for the weekend and i wanted to stay home for shabbos with my father and family so i cooked shabbos myself!!!(and believe me, im not too experienced) i had so much fun. i had to make everything 2 times bec the 1st thing of everything burned!!!!
shavua tov ya’ll!
believer – good for u! and we all start out as beginners! keep it up!
SJSinNYC – you get used to it so it doesnt take too long!
and mazal77, my mom normally does her main shoppin on wed and thurs we start cookin and finish thurs night and for the stuff best fresh fri! between me and my mother and sister it doesnt take too long! and we keep both stoves going! which sometimes is confusing when we forget which timer is for what food! lol! but i enjoy it and look fwd, but alwasy lookin for new ideas cause the same things over and over get kinda borin! so keep the ideas comin!
lol, yea it takes more than one person…although, i hope one day soon to be cookin all alone in my own kitchen (youll prob realize the down size in my menu then lol!) but for now, togetha with my mom and sis we make a big spread. what else can you do when you have guests every meal?!
and trust me, even not in a teeny kitchen i get nervous in there too sometimes bec i like when things are done my way which doesnt always happen! and i like when e/t is done in a seder (for ex: use the suguar – put it away; finished with a spoon – wash it…)whereas my mom and sis are more of the cook e/t and then clean e/t type (and the cleaning lady is always comin in the mornin!) but you get used to it!
and yea, we have a standard menu with some variation but like you said its alwasy a starter, soup, main (meat, chicken and sides) and dessert but alwasy open to new ideas for variations within!
what types of potatoes? i like simple and tasty recipies the best!!
and re the ya’ll: wasnt born in the south but still always say it!
🙂
Anyone make the Peachy Chicken? How was it?
