If you have young children, bathe them on Thursday night! Little girls without a uniform can go to school in a nicer dress (like a plain shabbos jumper or simple shabbos dress or sweater and skirt) that can transition into leil shabbos without looking weekday.
so cute thought I was the only one with the “friday” dress idea!
I make dips in bulk and then freeze them: olive dip, onion, zaatar, tomato dip
Can you please post the zaatar and onion dip recipe?
I made a very easy, tasty Shabbos… nearly all prep is done by 11 am.
Thurs night I make fish, some kind of marinated salad, cake, and a kugel. Then I wash the floors & clean the BRs.
Fri morning I make the cholent, chicken w/ potatoes(in the oven), rice (also in the oven). If I make challah I make enough for 2 weeks worth, if not then I buy.challah.
I buy lettuce & cabbage pre-checked & cut, so salads are all set except for chopping basic veggies.
Nearly all my recipes are made in the oven (9×13 style), so no dirty pots.
