Why are we all so overwhelmed by our 9 Days menu? Most of us do dairy or parve once or twice a week without even thinking about it. But suddenly, when it’s “official,” we panic.
That said, I was born during the 9 Days, so my birthday dinner always lands in this quiet, pared-down space. Keeping to the mood of this time, it’s the kind of dinner I’d serve any other night of the year, but with a mocktail to mark the occasion.
The most effort required here is probably the salad - and even that’s just some chopping. Everything else is the kind of easy and delicious that makes you wonder why you don’t make it more often!
