Raise the Bar

Chanukah is the bright light in the middle of the winter tunnel. As the cold settles in and night falls so early, we tend to draw into ourselves and our cozy homes. Chanukah can be a welcome oasis from the pressures of day-to-day life, a time to relax and celebrate the triumph of light over darkness, together with family and friends

BAR NONE

For young and old, Chanukah parties are the highlight of the season. If you’re lucky enough to have the opportunity to host, you know that it can be daunting to create a menu that will please all your guests. Creating a variety of bars means that each person can have things just the way they like them!

After figuring out the various toppings I was using and the sizes of the plates and bowls, I had the graphics team at Mishpacha create these sleek and modern printouts that I placed on top of a simple white tablecloth, which you can download below.

I prepared this poke bar to balance out the oil in the latkes and churros. If you’re looking for healthy foods to serve at your party, a poké bar is a great option. They’re fresh, tasty, and healthy; they’re high in lean protein and healthy fats; and they provide a good dose of veggies and whole grains.

Poké bowls can be as simple or as adventurous as you want. The only rule you must adhere to is to use the freshest ingredients when you’re dealing with raw fish. You can prepare the bar on your own or order the supplies from your local sushi store.
