Who’s ready for a Shabbat roundup with recipes you can cook FROM THE FREEZER!!! Whoohoo!!!! Just trying to stay sane, and sensitive to everything that is going on around us. Since we’re all working remotely anyway, I’ll let you in on a conversation Rachel Kor and I had yesterday morning. 

Rachel Kor: Chanie, what are you making for Shabbos this week? I think people could use some expert advice.

Chanie Nayman: Lol same things I make all the time.

Chanie Nayman: A whole chicken, blistered string beans, maybe I’ll make a yerushalmi kugel to get rid of pasta (husband’s fave), roasted frozen cauliflower (b/c I tried to stock up on frozen veggies), chicken soup made with turkey necks from the freezer, small batch of challah (b/c I’d rather use up flour than go to the supermarket to buy challah). For dessert, I think I’ll make a chocolate cake. Maybe Hershey cake recipe.

Chanie Nayman: P.S. My new trick with Hershey cake is to use 1/4 cup melted chocolate instead of 1/4 cup cocoa in the batter. Unreal. 

And there you have it, Shabbat without leaving your house. 

Shabbat Shalom,

Chanie
