Rosh Hashanah Sneak Peek

This year Rosh Hashanah falls on my grandmother's birthday.  For Rosh Hashanah, she usually has everyone over her house for a New Year's luncheon.  And for her birthday, she usually takes us all out to dinner.  This year I wanted to give her something special for her birthday and make Rosh Hashanah less stress for her.  This year to celebrate her 84th birthday and ring in the year 5771 I will be catering the family celebration at my grandmother's condo.

Here is a sneak peek at the menu for Rosh Hashanah/Grandma's Birthday

Carrot Soup

Moroccan Orange Salad
Vegetable Couscous Salad

Sole Rolled With Veggies (this was originally going to be a potato encrusted sole to use up the surplus potatoes I have, but I think this will stay moister during transport)
Soy Orange Glazed Chicken Legs

Roasted String Beans
Sweet Noodle Kugel
and/or
Salt & Pepper Kugel

Honey Apple Cake
Fresh Fruit

I am also going to make Steamy Kitchen's No Knead Challah (just plain because it has to be a nut free meal).

I think this will be my new Rosh Hashanah e-card...



Ess Eppis and Shana Tova!

SHANA TOVA (שנה טובה) means 'Good Year' in Hebrew.  It's a common greeting during Rosh Hashanah, the celebration of the Jewish New Year - following the Hebrew calendar.
