    Shavuot

    Shavuot is a Jewish holiday that celebrates the spring harvest and commemorates Moses receiving the 10 commandments on Mt Sinai.

    The food served usually includes spring produce and dairy dishes, which represent the plentiful food in the land of Israel flowing with "milk and honey." The dairy meal also signifies when the Jews first started keeping kosher, including eating meat and dairy in separate meals.

    It's common to decorate the home with fresh flowers and new fruits from the harvest.

    For this holiday I like to serve a dairy casserole like Blintz Soufflé, bagels and lox or Salmon mousse spread, an egg casserole like Baked Vegetable Frittata, and fruit. Or any of the choices below.

    • The Best Chocolate Rugelach
    • Cheesecake Bites (in mini muffin tins)
    • Strawberry Spring Salad with Pecans and Feta
    • Easy Homemade Chunky Applesauce
    • Maamoul (Date Filled Cookies)
    • Make Ahead White Cheddar Mac and Cheese
    • Jerusalem Salad (Israeli Salad)
    • Spinach and Feta Bourekas (Puff Pastry Appetizers)
    • Italian Frittata with Zucchini and Tomato
    • Shaved Brussels Sprouts and Parmesan Salad
    • Lavash Flatbread Pizzas
    • Salmon and Cream Cheese Mousse
    • Almost Flourless French Chocolate Cake
    • Easy Blintz Soufflé Casserole
    • Baked Whole Salmon Fillet with Citrus and Fennel
    • Passover Flourless Chocolate Cake with Nutella
    • My Quest for the Ultimate Sweet Apple Noodle Kugel
