Food 4 Thought
After making the blessing over the washing of hands, we remain silent until reciting the blessing over the bread. This silence offers a powerful opportunity for mindful eating. Focused on our inner selves rather than conversation, we digest not just the challah, but the quiet moments surrounding it. This practice, uncomfortable for some, elevates the meal and fosters a deeper connection with both the food and ourselves.  Learn more about eating mindfully Jewish.

I like zesty slaw, not the traditional sweet slaw most people serve or buy. This one pairs well with this menu or any other barbeque menu.

I can't believe this is called "Mexican" and yet there is no call for corn (niblets) as an ingredient. Increible!

Love fresh salads, but I have to buy some purple cabbage. I always find there are no small purple cabbages in the supermarkets and I live alone. Thanks for the recipe it looks really nice.
