Shabbos in Three

Styling and Photography by Sara Goldstein

Shabbos is the highlight of our week! Hopefully, our memories of Shabbos are filled with special seudos and family time. And as mothers, we try our best to create those beautiful associations for our children.

In my last article, I spoke about some of the challenges that we face around eating on Shabbos. We all have our own versions of healthy habits during the week, but Shabbos is so different from any other day that many of us feel it’s impossible to have a healthy Shabbos.

Just like a square peg won’t fit into a round hole, we talked about how Shabbos simply won’t fit into our general approach to “eating healthy.” It demands that we carve a new hole, with new expectations, new approaches, and a nice dose of flexibility as we experiment with the square hole that works best for us.

We discussed the concept of Shabbos breakfast, “crowding in” the vegetables, and upgrading our ingredients. Now let’s take a look at three more pieces that come into play on Shabbos.
