With the Shabbat Project a little different this year, we are excited to share a solution to the biggest hurdles to cooking for Shabbat "I don't want to spend all day in the kitchen" and "What should I make?"

Now that we have our menu and all of our supplies and ingredients we are ready to start cooking. If you are making Challah, I would recommend starting with that first so that you can cook while your dough is rising.
If you are planning on cooking on Friday, I would recommend at least doing the soup (you can skip to 20:22 on the video) on Thursday night to let it simmer overnight. The longer it cooks the richer and more delicious it will be and the more your home will be filled with the amazing aroma of fresh chicken soup.
Let's get started. You can download the recipes here or see them all below. You will receive printed cards with your Shalom Fresh Order.
Watch the video below for step by step instructions, the order is the crucial piece in getting everything done in no time at all. To be completely honest, it actually took 37 minutes of active prep time (not including dessert which will be a separate post.) The chicken does need more time in the oven.
Don't forget dessert. You can use the brownie mix to just make brownies or you can transform it into an amazing ice cream pie using the tutorial here.
