Slice basic veggies long. Slice garlic heads in half and add them. Roast in oven with oil and salt. Voila!

I like to make this salsa next to my fish, it goes very well with baked/broiled salmon
Probably with any dish as well..
I actually usually make it on shabbos, I just make sure to have the ingredients

Anything made in individual ramekins is fancier. I e. Kugel or dessert.

Here are some ideas:
Friday night - Main course: roasted veggies, nice salad, sesame linguini, roast/meat
Shabbos day - main course: deli roll, grilled chicken, deli platter, meat board

Other ideas not for main course - dips, sushi salad, fish, eggs/liver, nice salad, desserts, carrot or zucchini muffins

The mixture that you're spreading on top of the peaches, is it a batter, or crumbs?

Do you want to add a meat alongside the chicken? Maybe a set and forget it minute steak.

You can add an 8 minute sheetpan green bean dish. Really delicious and adds great color.

Alongside the cholent, would you like to serve sliced meats and poultry on a platter/board, or deli roll, or grilled chicken over sesame noodles (or just the sesame noodles)?

Do you want to add an easy meat to Friday night? Roasted veggies?
Dessert can do warm Duncan Hines brownies in cupcake tins, warm on top of crockpot
Shabbos day I add deli - fresh from counter is best or from package, grilled chicken or Shnitzel, salt and pepper kugel (one from dining in, takes very quick)
Lettuce salad

Can this be made in a disposable pan?
