Now that the 9 Days have begun, it’s dairy and parve all week long. It’s hard for many of us to think of what to make if you’re used to chicken and meatball dinners, and it’s too easy to default to pasta, and more pasta. Don’t get me wrong, pasta is great – it’s easy and delicious – but maybe not for nine days straight. Instead, try using fish as your main base! Fish is a great option for the 9 Days– it’s quick, healthy, and can be really delicious.

This year, why not try something new that you don’t usually make? Instead of teriyaki salmon, try lemon butter or feta-stuffed. Instead of fish sticks, try fish ‘n chips. You may win over even your picky non-fish eaters that way!

So, get creative with your menus and try something parve, tasty, and nutritious that you and your family will enjoy. Let us know what you’re going to try in the comments!
