Yom Tov in Israel is so much less work than in other parts of the world. After all, each time, it's just one day of chag (except for Rosh Hashana), when in the Diaspora, there are two days... So I've gotten kind of laid back. Especially this year, without lots of guests descending upon us!
Today, my youngest was begging to eat outside. As everyone was telling her, "no, we don't like to eat outside. Too many bugs," I told her, "tomorrow." So she's excited about Sukkot, even if no one else wants to deal with bugs!
So the plan is:
Homemade Challot
Vegetable Soup (I made a HUGE pot on Friday)
Oven-Fried Chicken (yup, Shabbat leftovers. Is that sacrilegious?
Apple Kugel (I used ALL the green apples in the house on Friday and made 3)
Spicy Roast Potatoes
Sweet Potato and Carmelized Onion Kugel (I'll post the recipe soon!!)
Salad
Chocolate Cake or Chocolate Chip Cake, haven't decided yet.
I'll serve basically the same for the night and day meals. Why mess with success? I know everyone will be happy this way!
We all know that Israel is expensive! Here you’ll find ways to save, important announcements, and frugal food ideas. (Please note: ALL posts may contain affiliate links)

Cooking Marathon
This is the month I know as the cooking marathon.
It reminds me of when I was pregnant with my 3rd child, and, around 4 months along, I panicked. I thought perhaps I would end up on bed rest again, 1500 miles from family at the time, and with no good support system. I started this frantic cooking marathon. Every time I planned a meal, I doubled SOMETHING, and put it in the freezer, just in case. Because the 2nd pregnancy had not gone well. I found myself on bedrest at 11 weeks, before anyone knew I was pregnant. That was when we lived in Riverdale, and had no good friends there, evidenced by the fact no one ever called to find out why they never saw me anymore. Not one meal was offered, aside from a couple from family members, who did not live anywhere nearby. Can you say nightmare?
And when I gave birth at 30 weeks I still felt isolated and ignored. It was hard. It was lonely. It was traumatic. So I was determined to fix the problem and make sure I could take care of my family's needs, even if the worst were to happen again...
The cooking marathon intensified, and one weekend when my parents were visiting us in Texas from NY (state), I convinced my mother to stay up late with me and cook and cook until we either ran out of food or ran out of freezer space.
So this time of year reminds me of that. Only now my family is larger, and there is a teenage boy to feed. I feel like no matter how much I cook, I rarely get to stock the freezer! And with Yom Tov, Shabbat, Yom Tov, Shabbat, I can definitely call this a cooking marathon!
So how are you handling your cooking marathon?
I've been making big pots of soup, enough for 3 meals from each pot, and lots of steamed and roasted vegetables. Making enough challah is difficult, but every batch I've made lately was 5-6 challot, so I could stash some in the freezer. I made 4 chocolate cakes at one time, so we have desserts for chag (and used up all the cocoa in the house. oops)...

Post Fast Menu
I haven't figured out my pre-fast menu, but I am going to share my post-fast menu, since I already planned that one!
Fruit Salad (using whatever fruits I have in the house - mostly apples and plums, that we managed to find for under 5 NIS/kg. So many fruit prices have skyrocketed lately, and the quality is questionable too, so we've had to skimp a bit on fruit, sadly. We love fruit. Hopefully there is something else here to jazz this up. Maybe I'll hide away that last cluster of grapes I just spotted!)
Homemade Whole Wheat Sesame Bagels, with cream cheese (well, shamenet with the whey drained off. Is that cream cheese?), tomatoes, cucumbers...
Split Pea Soup (? I hope. The store had NO carrots or celery, and I ALWAYS put carrots and celery in my split pea soup. Maybe I can find a substitute?)
Honey Cake, of course! (I have one in the freezer for this occasion)
Now, to plan the pre-fast meal...
I'm open to ideas!
What are you making for Pre- and Post-Yom Kippur?

Oatmeal and Honey Cookies (egg-free)
I may be using up my honey too quickly! I managed to buy some for less than 30 shekel/kg and I got some for free as well (sorry, that deal is long gone). So I felt like I could indulge. I made honey-teriyaki chicken, honey-sweetened challot, honey cakes, and now, oatmeal and honey cookies.
I kind of winged this recipe today, using my Oatmeal-Molasses Cookies as an inspiration, but really it needed a lot of changing it up!
Here's my recipe for these delicious confections! They are 100% whole grain! And are only honey sweetened. And are delicious. (They are not super-sweet, but they have a great honey flavor, if that makes sense to you. If you want them sweeter, roll them in powdered sugar before you bake them, or add 1/2 c. sugar or so to the recipe.)
1 T. ground flaxseed
1/4 c. boiling water
2/3 c. honey
1/2 c. oil
dash of ground cloves
dash of ground ginger
Mix well.
Add:
4 c. flour
2 c. rolled oats
1/2 tsp salt
1.5 tsp baking soda
Combine well. If the dough is too sticky to form cookies with, gradually add more flour as needed. A lot depends upon the humidity in your house and the origin of your flour... I added about 1/3 cup more.
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
I used my fingers to form cookies, slightly flattened. Place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake at 190 C for about 12 min.
Enjoy!
Shana Tovah!
I filled up my cookie jar. I rarely use my cookie jar, but today I thought, "Why have a cookie jar if I'm never going to use it?!" So now we have a jar full of cookies.

Sweet potato muffins (vegan)
Before everyone goes crazy that sweet potatoes are outrageously priced here in Israel, I want to tell you that Eden Teva Market has a whole bunch of ORGANIC produce offered for 5 shekels/kg, for their online customers. So my sweet potatoes were only 5 shekels/kg, which is looking pretty good for just about any fresh produce right now!! (hint: pay using Paypal, and save 20 shekels!)
I had one baked sweet potato, all lonely in the fridge. I decided I needed to use it up, and was going to make sweet potato bread, but I don't have any pecans in the house. I figured I would make do without the nuts. Then the day got later and later...
I decided to bake muffins instead!
Batter:
3 T. ground flaxseed
1 cup hot water
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 c. oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 mashed sweet potato
1 cup lukewarm coffee
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
sprinkle of ground cloves or allspice
Streusel topping:
I had made a large batch of streusel topping earlier in the week, so I just used it. My standard is 1/2 c sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and some oil to make it crumbly, combine with fingers, they just work best! (yes, wash your hands first!)
And now my house smells like autumn, even though it's pretty hot out...

Rosh Hashana
Rosh Hashana is Sunday night.
I am so not ready, but I'm trying.
I do not want to be in the kitchen all week, so I'm *trying* to keep it simple. My menu is far from gourmet, so if you're looking for gourmet, you're going to have to look somewhere else!
Here's the plan:
Pareve Foods:
Round Honey Challot (hopefully I'll get the round weaving thing!!)
Split pea soup (I happen to still have a lot of split peas in the house...)
Maple-roasted pumpkin (my girls LOVED it last Shabbat!)
Apple Kugel (already made)
Roasted potatoes
Make-your-own-salad
Grilled zucchini
Toasted Barley with mushrooms (I have some frozen, sliced mushrooms I got on sale a LONG time ago hanging out in the freezer)
I'm making at least one milchig meal -
Spinach lasagna
Some sort of quiche - we'll see what is affordable later in the week
Desserts:
Honey Cake (already made)
Brownies
Molasses Cookies
Apple Pie
Now, I just need to print this out, hang it up on the fridge, and get to work! Some of these things I will double or triple so we have for other meals as well...
Of course, we'll be having apples and honey, and a new fruit as well.
Shana Tova!
Please let me know what you're making!

Homemade granola bars
Do your kids complain that they are bored of being told to take some fruit for snack? Mine are. They want all the usual junk!
So today I decided to throw together a batch of granola bars.
*Feb 2013 - I changed the recipe a bit
Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
2/3 c. oil
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. water
1 tsp vanilla
Mix well.
Add:
1 c. oat bran
3 c. rolled oats
1 1/3 c. whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Mix to combine
Add:
1/3 c. ground flaxseeds
1/3 c. shredded coconut
1/3 c. sesame seeds
3/4 c. chocolate chips
Mix one more time.
Press it all into a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. It seemed a bit dry - so I used a pastry brush to brush the whole top with a little water. I didn't want to add too much water, as granola bars should bake pretty quickly! 10-15 min in the oven at 190 C should do it. Cut into bars and enjoy!
I'm really hoping to hide some away so the kids don't eat them all in one day...

Weekly Supper Plan
Oh, I am craving those crisp fall days, the ones when I can just make some sort of hearty stew or soup, and pair it with a fresh loaf of bread, something to spread on the bread, and call it supper!
I'm having a hard time getting motivated in the kitchen these days. The Jezreel Valley seems especially hot and humid to me right now, so cooking and baking just seems like a chore! HELP!
Anyhow, I know I'm more likely to actually feed my family real food when I plan a little in advance, so here goes!
Sunday: Leftovers from Shabbat + extra veggies
Monday: Orzo (oops ran out of rice!!), black bean "meatballs", make-your-own-salad (we have lettuce, cucumbers, avocado, and carrots aplenty this week!)
Tuesday: Spinach and cheese pancakes, roasted carrots, orzo (planned leftovers), make-your-own-salad
Wednesday: pizza, cucumbers and carrots with dressing
Thursday: Pasta with tomato sauce and vegetables, ??
Also planning to bake: several loaves of whole wheat oatmeal bread, honey challot for Rosh Hashana, honey cakes, apple muffins, molasses cookies, and homemade granola bars (haven't made granola bars in a LONG time)... all of that needs to be done before Thursday night, when I will need to cook for shabbat.
Last Friday we got a late start to our tiyul, and we got home VERY late and VERY tired - just one hour before Shabbat. It was a little nutty, but thank G-d I had done a decent job cooking and cleaning in advance! I don't think we're doing a Friday tiyul this week - maybe Friday arts and crafts instead. Sounds less stressful, doesn't it?

Shabbat Menu planning
I can't believe it's time to cook for Shabbat again! This week flew. Really. I don't know where it went...
So, taking stock of my pantry, fridge and freezer, here's my Shabbat menu:
Challot from the freezer
Soup - not sure yet what kind
Teriyaki/Honey Chicken
Rice (finishing off the rice in the house. oops, I hate having no rice left!)
Roasted Pumpkin with maple syrup (just a drop of maple syrup, really!)
Roasted Potatoes (I wanted to make potato kugel but I still haven't replaced my food processor!)
Make your own salad
Black Bean Cholent for lunch
Banana muffins
Chocolate chip cookies
And that is all I am cooking!
Ok, now I will be up all night. But the house is clean, so tomorrow can be a FUN Friday!
Shabbat Shalom!

Chunky Tomato Soup with Rice
I had to make some of my son's favorite foods for his birthday supper.
He loves cheesy broccoli pie, so I made that. But it is so not frugal, since cheese AND broccoli are ridiculously expensive, so I won't share that recipe here.
He also loves chunky mashed potatoes, but I would hope everyone knows how to boil potatoes and mash them.
I also made a sweet potato, fig, craisin, and pistachio salad, but that was for me (yay for cheap sweet potatoes last week!)!
SO... I will share the chunky tomato soup recipe.
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
olive oil
Sautee onion and garlic in olive oil in a nice, thick bottomed soup pot, till browning
Add:
4 tomatoes, chopped
Continue to cook, stirring frequently for about 10 min.
Add
500g tomato paste
6 cups water
salt, pepper, and ground allspice to taste.
Bring it to a boil, then add (already cooked) brown rice. (I cooked my rice pareve the other day, with a leftover remake in mind!)
Heat thoroughly.
Serve generous portions, my kids all really loved it.
