Sukkot Recipes -- Kosher of course!
<<< Breakfast >>>
Turkey Breakfast Sausage
Cut the black, red and white peppers in half unless you like really spicy sausage. It always gets rave reviews.
Make it with Kosher ground turkey and you've got a masterpiece!
Sausage Gravy
Although this recipe calls for mystery meat sausage (why people eat pig is a mystery to me)
make the turkey above for a delicious Kosher version of a southern favorite.
Hash Browns Casserole
We didn't get to make this for Sukkot, but it is a favorite! To make it Kosher, substitute heavy whipping cream and a teaspoon of Kosher
chicken soup base instead of the can of cream of chicken soup. Incredibly good and not a sin in sight ... a little cholesterol, maybe, but no sin!

Diet Soup
A great hearty soup that does not include cabbage. Great with some crusty bread for those who are not dieting.
As for he rest of us, there is always celery sticks. yay :(
Celery Soup
A new favorite discovered!
Tortilla Soup
Great flavors, warming, filling .... yum!
Black Bean Soup
Ole! Try this over corn bread for a really hearty one dish meal.
Decadent Tomato Bisque
Hands-down favorite and INCREDIBLY simple to make!
"blond" Minestrone
My own creation. I used to use "better than bullion" brand soup base (as mentioned in
the recipe,) but I've switched to Telma because it is Kosher. Both have MSG.
Chicken Noodle Soup
Lentil Soup
Egg Drop Soup
Indian Spiced Carrot Soup with Ginger
Gazpacho

<<< Salads >>>
Carrot and Raisin Salad with Pineapple
A must for any picnic or when it's too hot to cook!
Best Grape Salad
Is it a salad or is it a dessert?? I'll eat, you debate! For my version,
I use only the red grapes and I leave off the topping. Feel free to feel free!
Creamy Corn Salad
Mozzato Salad (aka Caprese)
Fresh Mozzarella cheese, garden fresh tomatoes and fresh basil make these flavors sing!
Eggstatic Egg Salad
Yummy basic egg salad. Make it special with pumpernickle-rye swirled bread.
Loaded Baked Potato Salad
I've used boiled potatoes and baked potatoes, either way it is a hit. For the bacon, I use Morning Star Farms Breakfast Strips.
Find them in the freezer section. In just 1 minute you have kosher, crispy vegetarian bacon.
Yosi's Israeli Salad
Chunks of delicious and healthful vegetables in a fresh tasting dressing.
Gingered Tuna Salad
Sweet and savory -- a delicious and unusual twist on tuna salad.

<<< Main Courses >>>>
Gingery Chickpeas in Spicy Tomato Sauce
Make it in either a crock pot or on top of the stove for an easy, tasty vegetarian meal.
Macaroni and Cheese Casserole
Another one-dish, quick and easy, hearty, tasty meal! Use one tall box (or two) of Publix brand Macaroni and Cheese (it is OU kosher).
During the last minute of boiling the pasta, throw in the contents of a bag of frozen peas and carrots. Drain the pasta, peas and carrots.
Mix the cheese sauce according to directions (mix the cheese powder, oil/margarine and milk (or sour cream) together first;
then mix the cheese sauce into the pasta, peas and carrots. Want an extraordinary treat??
Add a crumbled, browned pound of the Turkey Sausage listed above. Spectacular!
Pineapple Black Bean Enchiladas
Although we didn't get to have this for Sukkot, it is something I frequently bring to our covered dish suppers.
I use crushed pineapple instead of tidbits -- to me the flavors meld better.
Simply Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
Delicious and easy! Can you tell I like that?? I add a sprinkle of chili powder to the chicken-onion mix along with a sprinkle of
seasoning salt, cumin and black pepper. I also 'short cut' by adding the cheese to the chicken mixture instead of putting a spoonful in each enchilada.
Tofu "Chicken" and Rice

A definite winter favorite!
Vada Pav

(425 degree) oven for 15 minutes. Served with mint chutney and peanut chutney, below.
Southwest Stuffed Peppers
Life handed us a case of red and yellow peppers -- so we made stuffed peppers with a twist!

Green Beans with Parmesan and Thyme
Grilled Corn with Lime Butter
In a pinch, making the Lime Butter Sauce for canned or frozen corn works great too!
Corn Pudding
Baja Black Beans, Corn and Rice
Mexican Calabacitas
Easy Dinner Parmesan Zucchini

wheat sensitivities. Change the beans and change the dish ... almost endless varieties!

Chinese Green Beans
Cleochatra's Spanish "Rice"
