Our Holidays were Beautiful
The last three weeks were a whirlwind of holidays. Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur & Sukkot. (Among a few others). There are a ton of traditions that surround these days and in a pandemic and 5th wheel, they can be challenging. However, we do not let obstacles with our alternative living situation get in our way.
It took some serious planning, and some extra funds to get things to look this way, but it turned out beautiful!
For erev Rosh Hashanah, Jason smoked a chicken. I'll be honest - I needed the space inside to get everything else ready, so having one less thing to worry about was key.
We had a pomegranate coleslaw, mac & cheese, and potatoes as sides. I also made my (becoming famous) apple stuffed challah.
I decided to get nice disposable plates to cut back on dishes. However, I have a thing for plastic silverware and we went with the real stuff. I also got foil dishes to serve everything with - great compromise. All of that as well as the decorations, I got on amazon.
Our roast for Rosh Hashanah night 2 isn't pictured, but was delicious - Jason smoked that too.
Rosh Hashanah Day 1 lunch is another big deal for us.
Jason smoked two chickens the day before and the second one was made into chicken salad. I also made chopped liver salmon dip and deviled eggs. I actually made a second set of challahs just for this lunch.
I love this meal and all of the dips and veggies. My family enjoys it too. The best part about it was, I was able to work hard the day before and this meal took less than 10 minutes to get it on the table.
I must say that the Yom Kippur meal was my favorite. We had salmon and homemade veggie lasagna (all from scratch - noodles included). The salad on the table was grown in our tower garden.
Sukkot was beautiful too. I don't have daily photos, but this is what we used as our Sukkah.
We loved our time together and the memories we made. It's not about having less space, it's about enjoying what you have and making memories together. We are blazing our own path and creating our traditions.
