Here’s What Goldy Is Making on Sunday – Nine Days 2026

For Sunday dinner, I usually take it easy and serve leftovers to those who will eat it, and a kind of make-your-own-adventure to those who won’t. Being that we can’t serve any fleishig leftovers this time, I would still offer potato kugel if there is any leftover, but I’m also going to be using my Betty Crocker for this meal exclusively. The littles can manage with some omelettes and/or fish sticks, but for the rest, here’s what I’ll be making:

Microwave or Betty Crocker Vodka Sauce Shakshuka by Sara Goldstein

I’ll serve the shakshuka with some leftover sourdough or challah (make sure it wasn’t cut with a meaty knife and that you can use it for dairy) and some fresh Israeli salad and avocado.

Tip: Many stores sell parchment paper in a round size. I use that when making shakshuka and I slide the entire pan into a large serving plate once it’s ready, leaving no mess behind.

For those kids who have NOTHING TO EAT and everything is ‘gross’, a baked potato is a great option I always offer. Here’s an easy way to prepare them: (I would do half way in the microwave just to soften them, but then finish them off in the oven or Betty Crocker.)
