What to make for your Seudah? The Best Purim Recipes Round Up
Now that my daughter has turned two years old, creating family oriented traditions for her has become somewhat of an obsession for me. It is important for me to instill in her a love of her heritage from all sides of her family as well as good memories and experiences hat she can maybe,(hopefully) continue on with her family g-d willing one day.
SO on this Sunday before Purim it is all about making home made Hamentaschens. Spending the next few hours in the kitchen with her, singing on top of our lungs for the umpteenth time “haman ha risha rush rush rush & Misha Misha (tunie just says those 2 words over and over), telling the story of Purim and her favorite part about Queen Vashti and all her pimples ( EWWWWWIE tunie screams as she wipes her face with her little chubby hands), talking about what kind of costume she is going to wear, all these precious moments, as we create these traditional cookie delights.
Memories like these are priceless and what I believe life is really all about.
I have a few Hamentaschen recipes that I have collected over the years, but they are all pretty much the same and this year with all the Jewish food blogs out there , I have discovered a few recipes that I must try today.
The same is to be said about the Purim Seudah, a meal I love to host. I have found that the Seudah is best served buffet style, with lots of variety for the myriad of guests (invited and happily unexpected pop ins all accounted for). Unfortunately this year circumstances have aligned that the Seudah is not my responsibility, but I have compiled some of the best recipes, that are easy to make, can be done somewhat in advance and are real crowd pleasers.
