You can’t be a descendant of the House of N, if each week you don’t eat chulent a few times, both before and during Shabbos!

Growing up, occasionally my mother would make oven baked parve chulent for Thursday late lunch/dinner. And we always ate meat chulent Friday afternoon, Friday night & of course Shabbos (morning) & lunch. After that no one would touch it – we had standards!

I was never going to continue this tradition and my husband thought we were insane!
Lol, although he had no prob partaking in this ritual by my parents!

Those who laugh last ….
Every Friday, a separate parve chulent just for lunch!
It’s awesomely delicious & “healthy”!!
And on both short & long Fridays, it’s the perfect lunch/late afternoon snack.

Start your own Erev Shabbos tradition! Kugel optional!!! Enjoy!
Add yes, I serve whatever is left (not much!) Friday night!

From my home and heart to yours,
