Menu planning? I’m here to help with 101 recipes for Rosh Hashanah!

With Rosh Hashanah just a couple of weeks away, and Sukkos following not long after, I know that so many of you are stressed about planning your menus for the upcoming holidays.

Don’t worry! I’m here to help!

Some of you may already use my recipe index as your ultimate kosher recipe guide – with over 300 delicious kosher recipes to choose from, you’re bound to find what you’re looking for. Today, I took it a step further. I went through my recipe index to find the recipes that are best suited for the upcoming holidays, then I listed them by course. Even better, I put notes next to each one, indicating if it can be made ahead, if it’s a symbolic Rosh Hashanah food, or any other helpful info. I’m sure you’ll find everything you need here, so scroll down and start planning!
