Regular shabbat challah and all. We are not turning over until monday.
My family has no desire to have to eat pesachdik longer than pesach.

We’ve been eating chometz in the dining room because I turned over the kitchen this week. I have a table set up with an urn, microwave and toaster. The microwave is fleishig so I can use it to heat things up. I’ll plug in the crock pot and make Chulent. I can also keep things warm using the cover of the crockpot. I have challah in the freezer, will buy fish, soup, probably chicken fingers…. I will heat up frozen broccoli in the microwave, I have franks n blanks in the freezer and sorbet… Chulent, turkey roll and beef jerky shabbos day.. jars of pickles, bag of lettuce …
Hopefully it will satisfy everyone.
Motzei shabbos we will do the dining room.

I have a similar set up- I turned over my kitchen and set up a Chometz area in my dining room- I would totally plug in my chometz crockpot and put up a cholent but I don't see how I can do that with no sink....where am I soaking the beans? the barley? where am I washing my crockpot afterwards?
It just seems so much easier to make a pesach cholent at this point...
how are you doing it?

Kitchen is Pesachdik and cooking started. Weekdays we eat on TV trays in the hall, after moving the microwave out of the kitchen and plugging it in in the hall. Shab we'll eat Pesachdik except Motzi in the hall, the way we do when Pesach starts on Motzash. No big deal. Glad our apt has a layout that allows this. Our previous apts didn't.

We're going away for Pesach on Sunday. I usually cook tons for Shabbos I can serve leftovers the following week. I have no idea how to cook a normal Shabbos in small quantities. So Friday night we're having soup and then a stir fry with veggies, chicken, and noodles. That will hopefully be finished entirely. Shabbos lunch we're having what my family calls "full meal soup," which has beans, cabbage, potatoes, and meat. I can freeze any leftovers of that.

There’s a bathroom sink off the kitchen that I’ve been using this week for washing things .. also I have a water filter attached to my fridge so I take water from there or hot water from the urn plugged in on the folding table in the kitchen. I double line my crockpot so there’s very little to wash but I’ll probably put it in the dishwasher. Some people have a water backup into their kitchen sink from the dishwasher but I don’t have that so it’s fine to use.

I kashered my kitchen already. We have a second "chometz" kitchen downstairs where we've been eating since Sunday, and we will eat Shabbos meals there too. Last week I cooked doubles of kugel, ferfel, soup, and chulent. We will buy challa and fish. Simple Shabbos fare but covers the basics.

Thanks.

I either use 2 bags (put some water between the bags) or a bag plus a large piece of parchment paper
I started doing this with my current crockpot which seems to have a very high temperature even on low and melts the bag if there’s only 1

But we need to make pesach, and that takes time. For many people, turning over Monday is not sufficient time. It doesn't mean eating only pesach food. We eat chometz till the zman.

Eating freezer food on plastic plates. Only have to cook cholent and fish.
Eating in the dining room. After shabbos will vacuum and wash the floor there.
The entrance has a table, so I will clean that off and eat there after shabbos
Plan on cleaning the kitchen Sunday morning so can kasher Mon morning.

I have a Pesach kitchen so already have a lot of the cooking and baking done.

Having regular Shabbos but eating in the kitchen on disposables. Cooked most but doing Some takeout. Dining room is already cleaned for Pesach. Will iyh clean kitchen Sunday, inside cabinets, fridge, etc. Sunday night is Shabbos leftovers, warmed in oven. Monday will kasher ovens, sinks, and cover counters. Will do all the last minute cooking Monday night, Tuesday and Wednesday morning.

If I wouldn’t have a Pesach kitchen I would have turned over Wednesday, cooked Pesachdik food for Shabbos, use disposables and bought small challah to eat outside.

We'll be having Pesachdik meals on fine china in our dining room— except for challah, which will be on paper plates outside. Or in our breakfast room if it rains.

Usually we would not turn over the kitchen until Sunday but we are remodeling the kitchen. We just got new countertops today and the kitchen is Pesachdik now.

We will still eat chometz in the breakfast room for a few more days.

I froze everything. This afternoon the whole Shabbos leaves the drawer in the freezer and gets popped into the oven. Cholent can't be frozen (afaik) so I'm making the oven cholent from bcp but with meat.
My oven has a Shabbos mode so everything will be left there.
Disposable dishes of course.
