L’shana Tova ~ Apples + Honey
We’re a mixed faith family here at FoodieTots, and as the non-Jewish spouse I’ve had a lot of fun over the past years learning about Jewish culinary traditions. Rosh Hashana, which falls right in the peak of the fall harvest, brings honey-dipped apples and other sweet treats to start the new year. Wishing those of you who celebrate a peaceful respite from the daily grind … and a happy harvest to the rest of you!
Tonight’s dinner menu:
- apples, pears, challah + honey*
- matzo ball soup
- gelfite fish + horseradish
- quinoa with apricots + pepitas
- lemon roasted zucchini + carrots*
- maple-glazed roasted salmon*
- homemade plum ice cream*
- sokol blosser evolution wine (oregon)
* = locally-sourced

What – no Manischewitz? How did L handle that?
Our menu was apples and honey, chicken with roast potatoes and carrots and brussel sprouts and green beans tossed with browned garlic and lemon juice.

@ Jill – Eh, Manischewitz is just for Passover. That’s the suffering holiday, right?
Mmm, brussel sprouts and garlic.
