The Hanukkah Meal

Planning a family gathering for Hanukkah? 

Hanukkah means planning Hanukkah meals as family and friends gather to celebrate together, as always~with food! It's wonderful to have this oasis of cozy warmth and light in the middle of a cold dark winter. But we still have our mantle of daily responsibilities. How can we handle it all with a smile?

 

First, remember that our dedication to family and community is a mantle of royalty. We sometimes feel a burden that keeps us from our mission in life. This IS our mission. If you run a home, you have a leadership role, and a leader must have a PLAN.

That's why I am giving you some of my all time best recipes and planning tips from Cooking for The King. I hope you'll try them and don't forget to let me know how your Chanukah went with your Queen in the kitchen meal plan. Consider it my Hanukkah gift, especially for you.
