Shavuot Meal Planning

[gnomi]

So today is the 48th day of the Omer (that's six Sylvester McCoys and a Colin Baker, for those of you counting along at home). Which means that the holiday of Shavuot starts tomorrow night. And thus, I have been planning food. Not *making* food yet, but at least planning:

We are in for three meals (two with guests, one just us) and out for one (all hail the shul luncheon).

General:

-- Challah for three meals

Main dishes:

-- Mexican lasagna
-- H's cheese pie (an obvious Shavuot dish)
-- Quiche
-- 2 Mac and Cheeses (for the meal that will include four adults and five kids under the age of 10)

Other stuff:

-- Veggies for slicing
-- Blintzes to accompany one of the meals with guests

Guests:

-- First dinner: no one

-- First lunch: two adults, three kids

-- Second dinner: two or possibly three adults

-- Second lunch: At the shul

All of the groceries are bought, and I will do cooking tonight and tomorrow.

I am making our traditional french onion soup, and also some big salads, and mushroom stroganoff.

It's a bit of a walk, but cool!

what is this cheese pie, and why dont I have the recipe? You must fix this problem.

I think she means this:

Blintz Casserole

Batter:
½ c. margarine or butter, melted
½ c. sugar
2 eggs
1 c. flour
2 tbsp. baking powder
¼ c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Filling:
1 lb. cottage cheese
1 lb. cream cheese, softened
2 eggs, beaten
½ c. sugar
2 tbsp. lemon juice

Low-fat cottage and cream cheese work fine in this recipe.

Mix ingredients for batter together in medium bowl. In separate bowl, mix filling ingredients until well blended. Pour half of batter mixture into greased 11x7” baking dish. It is important not to use a larger baking dish, or casserole will come out too flat and chewy. Spoon cheese filling evenly on top of batter mixture. Pour and spread remaining batter evenly over cheese mixture. Bake in a preheated 325° oven for 1 hour.

I have that in my recipe book as "Andrea's blintz souffle" - I didn't realize it was your recipe!

I think Andrea and I got it from the same source.
