First, let’s make sure the kids are happy at this purim seudah.
This year, we’re bringing you these Eggroll Hamentaschen. So easy and so good!
RECIPE HERE
These Sweet and Savory Hamantaschen are totally fun and in the spirit (and they use store-bought dough).

Everyone finds something to love on our family friendly Charcuterie Board.

Or Whole Wheat Challah if you want to try to start off the meal a little healthier.
RECIPE HERE
Oh no, we got it. It’s going to be THIS Garlic Crown Challah that you’re going to wash for at your Purim Seudah.

And, of course, you need a new, amazing crowd-pleasing salad. Like this Mushroom Romaine Salad that will be finished down the bottom of the bowl.
RECIPE HERE
Really, a great Purim Seudah is all about the appetizers. The yummy stuff that you can leave out, and everyone helps themselves as they pop in and out. Our number one appetizer of the year, of course, are Pulled Beef Tacos (you can’t go wrong).
RECIPE HERE
Purim is such a busy day. It’s a wonder you managed to cook anything. So you need an easy main. That’s Naval Pastrami. Nothing easier.
RECIPE HERE
On Purim, sometimes Chinese food is the go-to for the main dish (haha, especially if you’re not cooking!). Like this General Tso Chicken. You can make it in a Crock-Pot so you don’t need to work before the meal.
RECIPE HERE
Now for dessert. We got it. Something that takes no work and no time. And something everyone will love.
Like Hot Cake and Cold Ice Cream.
RECIPE HERE
Or this easy chocolate cake that’s totally in the Purim spirit (it has a bit of rum! Use one of the mini bottles you’re bound to get).

Can’t wait to follow this exact menu!! Thanks so much!! Any ideas of a taco holder to hold that taco, sturdy on they plate??
Cut a lime in half, place cut side down and then cut a v into the top. I’ve done it with cucumbers too. (Or you can buy taco stands- but I hate clutter so I opted for the food route.)
@rachelw if you are in Lakewood delcampo taco sells disposable taco stands in their store on second st
Thanks so much!!where on 2nd street is the store
2nd between Lexington and Monmouth. If you’re on the south side of town, the Westview shop sells them also
Although I love the concept and the look I’ve always been intimidated by charcuterie boards and avoided making one. I’m challenging myself to do this for Purim and bought a wood cutting board from Amazing Savings today (6.99- I figure it will be less painful if it’s cheaper in case this idea falls flat). Let’s hope for positive results.
I also made the garlic challah on Sunday but froze it raw so I can bring it to the table freshly baked.
I love all the great ideas you are constantly presenting here! Thank you so much bcp!
And I forgot to add that I’ll also be serving the meat pizza using Jack’s Gourmet pulled beef (I was pleasantly surprised to find it has no nitrites or msg) and my own homemade spelt dough. So this will be a bcp Purim!
