hi everyone its melissa here from little kosher lunch and today i really want to
talk to you about dinner and entertaining high holidays are coming up i
just went to the kosher supermarket which I go to periodically especially
before the holidays to kind of get in the mood and pick up a few special
things and they've already got all their Rosh Hashanah stuff out all the fancy
tablecloths are out so to that end I wanted to talk to you about being
prepared in advance for the holidays because I love Jewish foods for the
holidays and for me and my family that means Ashkenazi Jewish recipes like
brisket and noodle kugel and delicatessen and all of these foods are
really excellent for the high holidays because they're wonderful and easy to
make in advance they are made from items that you can buy in advance please
excuse my dog and her long nails we have a little bit of time before the holidays
are upon us so I wanted to talk to you about ways that I'm getting organized
checking my pantry freezer and refrigerator and I am stocking up and
getting ready this means that I'm using my secret weapon here this is a book
that I've been living by especially with back to school happening, confessions of an
organized homemaker this is not a Jewish book per se but it is a really it's like
a mommy's best friend so check it out if you haven't seen it before
I have tucked my little high holidays recipe cards into t his book and I've
been going through my recipe cards and just checking off what ingredients I
need to buy so I'm gonna take you through a little tour right here of
things that I'm buying and planning to serve for my high holidays to give you
some ideas and then at the end I'm going to show you how I'm preparing for my
kids for the high holidays and then I have a secret weapon if all else fails
that'll save you so over here this is my little noodle kugel station and so I
just wanted to show you how simple it is and how these are basically pantry
staples that I am buying well in advance of the holiday I have egg noodles golden
raisins cottage cheese and sour creams they last forever so you can buy them
well in advance sugar cinnamon corn flake topping for my noodle kugel
and then obviously there's a few other things like butter and eggs which
I always have on hand for this recipe I'll link up all my recipes below for
you but this is a really sentimental recipe it's one that you can make in
advance a day or two before the holidays if you're entertaining so you have a
very relaxed high holiday experience whether it's Rosh Hashanah breaking the
fast etc this packs wonderfully in a lunchbox so again if you haven't had it
before I love noodle kugel and it's like really
fattening and great and this is the one time of year that I make it over here
just some other things when I'm stocking apples dipped in honey I have a whole
video about this for your lunchboxes but apples keep really well in the fridge
I'm picking them up when I see them for a great price I picked up dried apple
rings today these are a must-have in my household for lunches snacking on a
cheese platter I'm stocking up on nuts for entertaining and having people over
carrots and carrots tzimmes is another recipe that a lot of people love for
Rosh Hashana carrots are a symbol for the start of the new year these keep
great they were on sale at Costco you can buy a 10-pound bag and just keep
them for weeks so these are my produce items that I'm stocking up and sharing
with you this is my honey area I want it to really be stocked with honey's for
Rosh Hashanah and dipping I have honey sticks for my lunch box and for
playdates I have spun honey which spreads
fabulously on a sandwich if you do Apple honey sandwiches I have the honey for
putting on a cheese platter with the honeycomb in it and these are also
really fun for individual portions if you have a little child over or for your
lunchbox these are the little Bonne Maman honeys
they are like the jellies and you can order those and I'll link them below so
these are great I'm stocked in this category also if you're doing
entertaining and a cheese platter these are all kosher cheese's that I found at
the supermarket this cute one is an Apple smoked Swiss cheese it's super
apropos for Rosh Hashanah I have a blue cheese that I love to do with
pomegranate seeds it's so delicious the contrast
goat cheese so stock your cheese drawer if you keep strict kosher all of these
will work for you and I found these at both my mainstream and kosher
supermarket this also is a pantry staple for us I
always want to make sure to stock grape juice for the children it makes them
have more fun for the holidays I have stocked up at Costco I bought my smoked
salmon this is the wild salmon that comes in a two pack I've spoken to some
of you about this I freeze my locks so I'm putting both of these in the freezer
I'm gonna pull one out the night before for the High Holidays and for packing
lunches because my daughter loves it you can use one now and freeze the other
don't let your locks go bad it freezes just fine this is a prepare ahead thing
that I'm doing if you're serving a luncheon or something like that I freeze
bagels it saves you a trip when it's crazy holiday time and these are the
mini bagels they're so charming great for lunches great for entertaining
children or great if you're having a buffet with lots of other foods you can
have just a little bagel and lox cream cheese I stocked up on it keeps in my
fridge in my freezer I threw these little mini potato knishes these are
great and they're Parv so you can serve them with a meat or a dairy menu and
these with a yellow mustard are super delicious as a starter and no work for
you you just pop them in the oven I love brisket I love brisket I love a
lot of brisket I love making brisket and taking to an umami if you've seen my
meal train videos and I like a good deal on brisket because brisket is very
expensive obviously if you are buying kosher meat you're just gonna order what
you want from your kosher butcher if you're not kosher or kosher style
there's a lot of opportunities to stock up on brisket at a great price which may
be happening in advance of any Jewish holidays at Costco I know this happens I
know they do prime meat sales and if you are willing to cut your own brisket I
wanted to show you what a whole brisket looks like because not everyone that I
know does this this is a whole prime brisket not Co
sure from Costco it was $4 a pound which is a screaming great deal and what
happens is when you get a brisket like this most people buy a half brisket
that's the flat end and here you can see there is the flat end and then there's
this more like mountainous and on this brisket with any whole brisket that you
buy there's gonna be some fat to trim so there's a little bit of waste but not
too much I would say the nicer end is the flat end so if I was sharing this
with another family I'd probably give them the flat end it cooks more evenly
there's a little more trimming and more sort of mountains and valleys of fat in
this other end but if you're like me and you really just don't mind doing the
work I would say that this is a way better deal than buying a half brisket
and if you see this on sale in advance I will often buy the whole thing I will
cut it in half I will cook half now for one holiday and I'll put the other half
away for another holiday later on in my freezer so I just make one cut with a
knife put half of it in the freezer this saves me a lot of time hunting for
brisket last minute and it also saves me money when I get it on a great deal on
sale for my brisket I went through my recipe card in advance to make sure I'm
stocked with everything I need I will again put this information below for you
but my brisket is just onions and onion soup mix if you're strict kosher Lipton
makes the kosher soup will have a distinction here even if you don't keep
kosher or you're not even Jewish this is such a great simple recipe I wrap my
brisket in a foil packet before I um before I close it up I put one or two
thinly sliced onions all over the fat the fatty side goes up onions all over
it sliced and I sprinkle with one or two packets of onion soup mix it's full of
all the salt and seasoning that you need and that bakes in a 350 degree oven for
you know depending on the thickness three hours four hours
in its little steamy packet and then you slice it against the green I always
serve hot hot horseradish with my brisket so I make sure to have that in
advance and usually this is a set it and forget it recipe so this is like great
if you're entertaining it's great if you're going to temple it can just be
there minding its little self you don't need to supervise it so much and I serve
it with rice that I make in my rice cooker so again simple dish not a lot of
prep and fussing this is a great high holiday food and it's great as leftovers
or you can make it the day before and rewarm it last but not least I wanted to
talk about delicatessen food and breaking the fast which I would say is
probably the most high-stress holiday for any Jewish mother who is hosting or
has hungry people in the house you don't have to be doing all of this preparation
call your local deli order your deli platters we usually do cold cuts or fish
platters and bagels get a great Jewish rye bread often if your order is enough
money if you're like entertaining a big crowd they will deliver it to your house
just sign the bill that is like really a time saver and a stress saver when it's
the High Holidays time the other thing in addition to checking all of these
foods in my pantry and stocking them in the freezer that I'm doing is I'm
getting out my platters my table cloths and making sure that all of that is
clean ready and that I have enough of it and last but not least I'm gonna go to
my books area because I think this is important as a mom of young kids we get
PJ library books and I always have a special bookshelf where I sort them by
holiday I pulled out my brush Hashanah books this one just came from PJ library
it's really sweet with lifts the flaps for young children I have this older one
how Rosh Hashana challah became round it's super cute on Rosh Hashanah and Yom
Kippur this is another nice children's picture
and this was a year or so ago from teaching library Jewish holidays all
year round this is an oldie but goodie this is poems for Jewish holidays and so
it's great for every Jewish holiday if you want to do a poem before bed for
your children a poem before going to services if you want to say something in
addition to a blessing or grace before the meal this has a lot of great
material in it and I want to wish you just a really happy low stress delicious
high holidays with your family whether you are religious and go to synagogue or
not I hope that you can make those memories with your family by cooking
some delicious Jewish foods this year take care
