9 Days Recipe Round-Up & Preview for Upcoming Cookbook Review!
Ice cream.
Chocolate.
Milk.
Mmm milk chocolate ice cream!
There are countless dairy items that make eating a meat meal always a
challenge for me. My husband and I follow the Kosher dietary restriction of
holding six hours between eating meat and dairy. I don’t think of myself as someone
with commitment issues, but when it comes to eating meat, those six daunting
hours always get me! Why is it that just after an amazing hamburger, I
alwaysalwaysalways want chocolate. Or ice cream. Or anything dairy.
So, having said that, I’m not one to really feel the sacrifice of
forgoing meat for the Nine Days. My husband on the other hand… When I reminded
him this specific time frame would be starting Sunday evening, he immediately
sought to rescue our leftover Shabbos dishes. Schnitzel sandwiches immediately
happened. Miami ribs were not to be left behind. We went out and bought steak. Sunday dinner was pretty epic (followed by 6 hours of “can I have this
ice cream bar yet?”).
So now that these days are upon us, I find myself trying to figure out
as many creative dinners as possible. First, French onion soup and veggie
cheeseburgers. Last night breakfast nachos. When I say those were a huge hit,
it’s an understatement. Which got me thinking… at least once a week we have my
favorite – breakfast for dinner. Whether it’s pancakes, scrambled eggs or a
brunch spread of bagels and lox and more, it’s one of our favorite go to meal
options!
Speaking of favorites… remember Lindsay Landis? Her Cookie Dough Lover’s Cookbook, was my
cookbook of the summer last year. I have yet to try a cinnamon roll as good as
her cookie dough stuffed cinnamon rolls. And the cookie dough stuffed French
toast… hmm I think I just figured out what I’m having for dinner tonight!
Anyhow, the amazing Lindsay has released another cookbook! I was super
lucky to receive a copy of it a little while ago but with moving and the
wedding and everything happening at once, I never paid it the attention it truly
deserves (although upon receiving it we did immediately make the Sunny Side Up
Burgers – c’mon you’d wait to try that one out?!).
Oh the name of this epic book?
Breakfast for Dinner.
Because Lindsay Landis gets me. Anyone whose interests reside in stuffing
everything with cookie dough and then turning breakfast into dinner, exceeds
legit best friend levels.
Come back soon for a review of this incredible cookbook and in the
meantime – GO OUT AND GET IT! It’ll make the Nine Days more bearable for steak
and rib loving husbands!
Meanwhile, here are some Itsy Bitsy
Balebusta recipes, perfect for menu planning this week!
Breakfasts for dinner are among our family's favorites.
