Mama bear, I don't envy the people who leave everything for the last minute. There's enough what to do last minute. It must be extremely overwhelming to do "everything" from scratch the last minute

Before I had kids I did all my cooking about a 5 hour stretch and it worked fine. So it just depends on the stage of life and stamina you have ( and how much you cook). Do what works for you

My neighbors (Chassidish) just discussed, that they do the full gamut of simanim. Her mom is bz with it for last few weeks already, and makes mishloach manos packages, with all of it neatly packed up, for all the marrieds.
She said they do spinach, leek, black eye beans, a snake shaped squash, idk what else besides for the regular chassidish simanim

I don't even come close to all of you's. And that's ok because I honestly don't know how y'all consume so much food.
We do for each meal, challah and dips, and baked fish (choice of 2).

Then one main dish, one side, and vegetable salad. One dessert.

Main dishes:
pickled chicken roast
brisket
breaded dark cutlets
deckel

Sides:
ferfel and tzimmes for tradition
Don't have any yet but hoping to make roasted veggies, fresh mashed potatoes. If I'm really geshikt I'd like to make shlishkes and vegetable blintzes.

Desserts:
Applesauce compote
apple cobbler
blueberry pie
coffee cake

Thunderstorm, I'd love your peanut butter ice cream pie recipe. It would great for us for Sukkos.

I never made it. But I plan on mixing semi defrosted vanilla ice cream and creamy peanut butter with a mixer and adding in salted peanuts , then pour it into a ready graham cracker crust and sprinkle more salty peanuts on top with a drizzle of chocolate syrup or something like that. Or maybe even make an chocolate ganache layer on top and freeze.

We do all of these listed but everybody gets their own little plate and there's a little of everything on there. We start off the meal with that and go through all the Shehechiyanus.

I know people do lots of simanim, I was responding to mama bear who say chassidim don't do all this. My neighbor's family is Sanz.

I meant the Yehi Ratzons. Very Happy

I used to do Simanim both nights until I married dh. Smile

It took me years to finally remember I only need half the amount of produce!

butternut squash soup

2 carrots, diced
1lb butternut squash, peeled and diced (if using frozen cubed squash, use 3 C)

Heat oil. Add onion, sauté until soft. Add remaining vegetables, sauté 3-4 minutes.
Add water, soup mix, and honey. Cover and bring to boil. Reduce to simmer, cook 1.5 hours.
Let cool completely. Using an immersion blender, blend until desired consistency.

I also added cinnamon and curry.

I made this and it came out amazing. Thank you!
