Here’s What Rachel Is Making on Thursday – Nine Days 2026

Some of our favorite summer dinners naturally happen to be dairy or pareve, so instead of making them all season long, we intentionally save them for the 9 Days. By then, we’ve usually had our fill of grilled chicken, burgers, and barbecue, and everyone is ready for something lighter and fresher. Suddenly, a golden, flaky quiche served with juicy tomatoes picked straight from the garden, roasted zucchini, and toasted baguette slices piled high with a bright tomato-lemon bruschetta salad doesn’t feel like a compromise, it feels like exactly what we’ve been craving.

1. Spinach Cheese Quiche and Tomato Salad by Rena Tuchinsky

My kids love quiche, so this will definitely be on the menu!

2. Simplest Roasted Veggies by Sylvia Fallas

Make the most of that summer produce with the simplest of ingredients.

3. Fresh Tomato and Basil Bruschetta by Fraidy Feldman

I toast slices of bread in butter first, and add lots of fresh lemon to the tomatoes.
