Simple, Kosher Meals for the Sukkah


 Sukkot, Judaism's Feast of Tabernacles, follows quickly after Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Thus, there is a lot of holiday cooking and guest entertaining in a short amount of time. This menu includes special Sukkot recipes that are quick to prepare and easy to serve in a Sukkah.
  
This vibrant, colorful soup, thickened with potato and sweetened with pears, tastes as good as it looks.

I turn to this recipe whenever I am rushed and need to quickly prepare a kosher meat meal that kids will also eat. Peel and cube potatoes, place chicken pieces on top, pour maple syrup (parve) on top, and bake. I like to serve the Maple Chicken and Potatoes with roasted asparagus or peas for a complete meal.

Roasted Broccoli is the perfect side dish. Since this recipe is pareve, it can be eaten with a meat or dairy meal. Roasted Broccoli is easy to make, healthy, delicious and even colorful. For extra color and more flavor, add sliced red peppers.
