I think that's the story!

They're the best!

(took the idea from the local take out place)

cook red beans (they can't be mushy!) or use canned ones. add a bit of oil (i add olive oil), crushed garlic (depending on how hot you want it to be and whether you'll be around people after the meal ) and cut parsley. voila!


this week's menu:

salmon from KBD entertains (my friend makes it and this week i found out it was from this book! surprisingly, not hard to make at all!)
borscht
rice cooked with minestrone canned soup (read it in binah last shabbos, but had ot cook from the memory)
sweet potato pie (from KBD kids' book)
breaded cauliflower (from the same book)
chocolate truffles (from the entertain book, i think)
(homemade) cole slaw (purple book recipe; just cause i had leftover cabbage from borsht)

Friday Dinner:
Zommicks challah rolls
salad (can of corn, can of cut hearts of palm, 2 avocados, lime juice)
roasted acorn squash w/ paprika and chopped walnuts
mojito chicken (roasted chicken with sauce of white rum, mint, lime juice, lime zest)
hummus
sweet noodle kugel (did not turn out well)
mango sorbet

chicken soup
matbucha

broccoli chicken
rice
salad

same, - soup, +chulent

Wow, you mean you guys really plan all this out? I thought when you sat down it just magically appears

Penina, you made mango sorbet? wow. do you have an ice cream maker?

this shabbes was pretty ordinary except that i made my own gefilte fish and horseradish from scratch.
the fish was good but kind of bland. and the texture was a bit too loose. i would like to make it more often (this was the first time) but the fish market charged $13 for a pound of ground fish....wth?

Homemade Challah
Gefilte fish
Chicken soup w/ kneidlach
Duck sauce chicken
Potato kugel
Peanut butter blondies

Challah
Gefilte Fish
Cholent
Potato Kugel
Salad

Challah
Pasta Salad
Israeli Salad
Kugel
Gefilte fish
PB blondies

Lol, no I bought that too. Dessert is just too much work for me, I have a really weird oven and it doesn't bake well so I just stopped trying. I do have an ice cream maker, but generally I only use it to make actual ice cream as sorbets have all ended in icy disaster.

Good thing we're doing this without waiting, so the menu is fresh in my mind.

bakd tomato sauce fish
marinated mushroom salad
homemade eggplant salad

plain chicken soup with soup nuts (bought)

extra thin turkey cutlets stuffed with broccoli
thin lukshen kugel

bought vanilla buns

you probably had to go to a kosher fish store for this. My mother buys the whole fish (eyes/head still attached) at a regular store and grinds it herself. Cheaper that way.


sounds interesting. How do you do that?

i bought the cutlets which were marked, turkey, extra thin. sorry to disappoint you !

I think she meant how did you stuff them :-P

You pound the cutlet thin, then put a spoonful of whatever filling inside, roll it up and fry or bake.

Go, Shuli !!!!!

it doesn't unfold? or you put it seam down and then it sticks together?

You can toothpick it if you want to, but the really thin cutlets fold easily.

do you add any spices/sauce to the item before you fill?

thanks!

You can put it seam-side down for baking (or seam-side down FIRST, for frying...it'll hold after it's been pan-fried) or you can tie it or toothpick it. Usually seam-side-down works on it's own.



Sky's the limit as far as what you can stuff it with. I usually do a broccoli/mushroom stuffing that includes sauteed onions, seasonings, breadcrumbs/matzo, and pareve cream cheese. It's really delicious. I'm dying to try a jalapeno-stuffed chicken.

This sounds delish, can you please give me amounts and stuff? Also, do you put around it shnitzel or turkey? If turkey, the deli type or something else?

You can use chicken cutlets or chicken cutlets. No, she's not talking about deli.

Didn't Red Hare say she stuffed thin turkey with the broccoli? Did she mean cutlets or deli type of turkey? I'm so confused

(and would like any good stuffing recipes)

This week's menu to be distributed throughout meals
gefilte fish
chicken soup
chulent
veggie casserole (super easy and yum!)
mushroom rice
deli roll
(meat roll, maybe)
salad with dressing/croutons
nut chip brownies
some other dessert that mh is getting from bakery


next week (hopefully I'll remember, but I'm in th e mood for now, just too late so hopefully for next week)
stuffed chicken cutlets (with either kishka or a recipe that shuli or s/o else posts here, that is hopefully healthier)
stuffing (I make it as a side and it's yum!)
the rest is to be determined....

i don't remmeber how RH worded it, but she definitely meant thin turkey cutlets

I'll have to wait until my computer comes back from repairs; all my recipes are there (though you can take any recipe stuffing and it should be pretty tasty - then just bread it before frying/baking).




I've seen deli stuffed also. Dougie's jalapeno slammers are stuffed and breaded pastrami slices - they're delicious (and my inspiration for jalapeno-stuffed chicken). It's definitely doable, but I think would work better with a batter than traditional breading.

Oh, it can definitely be done, but I'm sure that Red Hare was talking about those thin sliced turkey cutlets, not deli.

Defy is right !!!!!!!

What have I won?


Tonight it's just DH and me:
Sandwiches with sauteed onions, peppers, and chicken
maybe rice

Lunch:
cholent
cous cous with mushrooms
green beans
pumpkin cake

That's too funny. Your menu is almost identical to mine. I was going to do sauteed peppers, onions, mushrooms, and chicken on garlic bread buns, with potato kigel, broccoli, and pasta salad. Tomorrow was meaty black bean soup (my new alternative to chulent), mushroom and salami rice, broccoli, pasta salad, and pumpkin bread.
