Oooh everyone's menus sound delicious!
We are invited out for all of the dinners BH. My desserts are store bought.

Yom Tov day 1:
Challah w/ matbucha, humus, techina, egg salad, & pickles.
Nashnushim salad
Chicken w/ dried apricots (recipe also calls for prunes, but I have no idea how to check those)
Garlic couscous
Teriyaki stringbeans
Dessert: chocolate chip cake, fruit, & tea (& possibly ice cream)

IIRC, prunes don't really have to be checked. Wash them well and as long as they look okay, they are fine to eat.

[quote="wispalover]
Just curious- we do leek patties for simanim.. is there a reason you do two kinds of leeks or just personal preference?[/quote]

Wispa, the only reason I do separate leek dishes is, DH holds you need to be able to see the food pretty much whole/as is (as opposed to mashed up and adulterated with matza meal and eggs in patties) to say yehi ratzones. A bit like saying haadama on crisps but not on pringles, methink... But more practically, because if I serve leek patties for simanim, they get gobbled up very quickly and none left to be served on the 2nd day...

It's like corned beef - the butcher pickles different cuts of meat, including top of the rib roast.

ra_mom, do you make all of your sides fresh? I see potatoes twice, do you make those ON yom tov?
How about the other side dishes?

I love your ideas, but I do NOT work in the kitchen yom tov; warming up the food is enough work for me lol, I'm busy checking the pots and pans to make sure they are warm but don't burn for when the men come home anytime between 3 and 5 p.m.!

I don't usually cook on YT.
The roasted baby potatoes are made right before YT and served the first night.
The mashed potatoes reheat decently.

whats the recipe for the garlic couscous?

There are many ways to make this, but here's what I'm doing:
cook the couscous. Set aside.
Fry crushed garlic in olive oil; once browned, add spices (I do paprika, salt, and pepper) and some herbs (I like parsley). Fry all together for around 30 seconds, and then mix into couscous.
