We had: Pre-fast: Challah whole-grain pasta with feta cheese, roasted red peppers and zucchini, diced tomatoes, and chick peas The key is to make sure that the pasta isn't plain white pasta, but has plenty of fibre, so that it digests slowly. The protein from the cheese and chick peas helps as well. Leading up to the fast: Starting in July, we started a new breakfast routine of putting frozen fruit in a blender with pure fruit juice, and drinking it on our way to work. It's so effective for morning energy that dh was able to cut out his morning coffee...so he didn't have the usual caffeine-withdrawal headache this year. After the fast: We always have a dairy meal with the ILs - challah, pizza bagels, cheese, tuna, yogurt, eggs. This year I added low-fat cherry cheese cake for dessert, for my birthday and all the other October birthdays in the family. |

JRK, I agree about the whole grain pasta! We had whole grain pasta with garlic/white wine/cheddar sauce before the fast and it really stuck with us for a long time! |

So, what is everyone going to have this year. I am making for two families and two different things actually. For my family- first meal- soup and kreplach fried kreplach with honey challah (dh every year complains if I do more than that) second meal- soup with kreplach fried kreplach with honey turkey made with honey, apple juice, and white wine rissotto spaghetti squash roasted veggies challah watermellon, cantilope, and grapes for dessert lekach For post fast leftovers. Most likely soup and kreplach and than a few hours later meat and veggies. For right after kaparos I will have warn cinn. buns waiting for us when we get home. For the kids YK day Zu is in charge. I will have noodles, kreplach with honey, deli meat, challahs, and cut fruit and veggies arrange in the fridge. Zu loves being in charge on YK of meals :) Also, I will have plastic bowls and spoons out with cereal containers on the table for when they get up and Zu knows how to pour the soy milk now. |

First seuda will be sandwich-style, I think! That way, we can all take what we like, and I don't have to get my cooking done so early! So, tuna-mayo, egg salad, cheese, etc. Second seuda - I'm leaning towards chicken soup with all the trimmings - kreplach, matzo balls, lots of veggies. Then, I can take out the extra chicken, potatoes and carrots for the kids to eat on YK itself. But, I usually start the chicken soup early enough to refrigerate overnight to skim it, but I didn't leave myself enough time! Kids will get shabbos cereal YK morning, leftovers from erev YK or shabbos for lunch seuda, and deli sandwiches for supper seudah. All on disposables! Two are old enough to serve themselves, and I'm guessing that the oldest can handle most things with my advice, including serving her youngest brother! Break the fast - dh usually only wants something light like a bowl of cereal, or challah. I have to take it really slowly, and will probably eat leftovers very slowly. |

I was going to post my menu, but then I looked at what I posted last year and guess what? I can just ditto the menu, more or less, except I'm having even less this year than last. No stuffed chicken, just boiled chicken for the seuda hamafsekes. No sweet carrots either. Maybe I'll roast some butternut squash; we had that last night and dh loved it. There ain't gonna be no amaretto cake for after the fast either. For YK meals, it'll be either cereal or yogurt for breakfast. Corned beef on baguette for lunch. Yogurt or cereal for supper. |

Lunch is either going to be French Toast (we have leftover challah that's gotta be used) or sandwiches. DH is eating at his mother's and the kids and I are going to a friend who tells me that the seudat mafseket will be chicken soup and whatever's in it (so soup veggies & chicken). |
