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!

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!

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.

Indian Spiced Carrot Soup with Ginger

Carrot and Raisin Salad with Pineapple
A must for any picnic or when it's too hot to cook!

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??

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.

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
