Family First reader Shoshana Friedman shares her kid-friendly, health-minded meals
I love cooking, but I save the patchkeh’ing for Yom Tov and when we have company. My kids are young, and my husband doesn’t care for or need gourmet food, so I’d describe my regular supper style as heimish and delicious, basic good food. I grew up as an only daughter, and I experimented and helped a lot in the kitchen. Married and living in Eretz Yisrael for six years, I had a business selling sushi, before it was even a big thing. I’m a big Kosher.com fan, read cookbooks for fun, and I make up my own recipes; therefore, weekday suppers around here are kid-friendly, health-minded, and always delicious.
We eat every night around 5:30 p.m., the earliest my husband and kids are all home every night. We make sure to all eat together.
If someone is hungry after supper, they can eat — there’s usually some leftovers. Whoever’s hungry finishes the chicken or rice or whatever’s left. Sometimes they make fruit smoothies after supper. I’m pretty relaxed about the kids eating what they want.
My mother served soup every single night, and I also do that, even at a barbeque. My family’s favorite is French onion soup, and they like cream of chicken, too.
