With the kids home for winter break, along with the expectation to have special Chanukah meals all 8 nights, it’s no surprise that a lot of us turn to takeout for a quick and flavorful delivery meal.

Though takeout is nice every once and a while, we’re big fans of turning out our favorite takeout dishes from the comfort of our own kitchen.

Not only are the delicious restaurant-quality recipes below easier to make than you’d expect, they’re healthier than those sugar and salt-loaded versions you order in and they make for a great Chanukah family activity!
