My Rosh Hashanah Menu

a5

One of the things I love most about Rosh Hashanah is cooking a special meal! Here are all the delicious foods I will be making for Wednesday night. Since most of these are large dishes, we will probably be eating them again on Thursday.

*  Round Challah  (I am buying 1 plain and 1 raisin, but if you’d rather bake, there are many amazing recipes at Secret of Challah.)

*  Apple slices dipped in honey  (Use one that’s crunchy)

Atlanta Brisket

*  Sweet carrots   (sauté in orange juice, margarine and honey. So good!)

*  String beans

Jeweled rice

Raspberry Jam cake

Some years, we do turkey for a main course and others, it’s beef. This is a brisket year. Dessert is usually a Honey cake, but I had a request for the jam cake instead. If I have time, I will make a noodle kugel, but it’s going to be a busy week, so not sure yet! Anything that doesn’t end up on my Rosh Hashanah menu will be moved over to my Yom Kippur Break-the-Fast menu.

This is a carb and sugar-heavy meal that’s light on veggies, but since I normally serve/eat healthy food, I do make an exception for Holidays. I’ll go right back to my normal food when it’s over. (It’s ok to cheat every once in a while.)

 

What are you cooking for Rosh Hashanah?

    Everything sounds so good! I was going to make carrots with dill tonight, but since I have everything on hand I think I’ll try out your sweet carrots instead.
