There are some great ideas here:

I'm planning:
-hasselback franks and blanks
-butternut squash soup with fried deli strips
-rice with broccoli and meat/fried deli(General Tso Sauce)
-French roast
-skewered baby potatoes
-meatballs and rice
-tricolor couscous
-chicken
-cabbage noodles
-roasted sweet potatoes

Shabbos will be the regular menu and I'm eating out one meal (praying it will be dairy!).

Happy cooking Smile

Could you share your recipe for rice with brocolli and skew Red any potatoes? Thanks

This one is from the Binah:
Skewered red (or tricolor) baby potatoes:
-1 bag baby potatoes
-1/2 cup oil
-2 Tbsp BBQ spice blend
-salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine potatoes, oil, spice blend in a heavy duty Ziploc bag.
Shake until potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread potatoes in single layer on baking sheet.
Roast uncovered at 350 for 40-45 min.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt.
Thread onto skewer.

(My friend makes a variation of this with olive oil, salt and pepper. Use whatever spices you like.)

Rice with broccoli and meat/deli:
-rice
-frozen broccoli, defrosted and liquid squeezed out
-deli or meat, cut in thin strips
-General Tso sauce
-soy sauce

Directions:
-cook rice (or make in oven) and set aside.
-sautee onion for a few min
-add strips of deli or meat and sautee until mostly done
-add broccoli and sautee until done but not too soggy
- pour general Tso sauce and a little soy sauce.
Heat rice and broccoli/deli mixture separately.

Note: it is amazing fresh. I'm not sure how well the broccoli/deli will reheat. If you can't make it fresh, maybe undercook the broccoli originally and only add the sauces later...?
Maybe someone with more experience has some tips.
