I'm counting Shabbos as part of Shavuos, because it's all together. We're doing the two night meals at home and going to my parents for the day meals.
I didn't want to have meat 2 nights in a row, so doing parve Friday night (with milky ice cream for dessert) and meat on Shavuos night so that we'll have some meat on the chag.

Friday night
Breaded garlic salmon (BY cookbook)
Garlic fries (fresh and easy)
Roasted broccoli
Ben and Jerry's ice cream (CY)

Shavuos night
Moroccan meatballs (from Imamother)
Creamy Thai chicken thighs (fresh and easy)
Rice
Sticky toffee pudding

Can I please have recipes?

The garlic fries recipe I don't have typed up yet, will try to post later!

Moroccan Meatballs

(it was awesome over garlicy mashed potatoes)

Meatballs
1 lb ground beef
1 diced onion
3 cloves garlic minced
2 eggs
3 tsp bread crumbs
1 T oil
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 T sugar
salt and pepper

Sauce (In my opinion, double it)
3 tsp oil
3 onions cut into thin slices
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
salt and pepper

the sauce - fry the onions in oil until soft. add sugar and caramelize then add all the spices and 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Make meatballs and add to the sauce cook for 10 min on high fire then put into 350 oven for 40 min (I just kept it on the fire for about 40 min)

Creamy Thai Chicken Thighs
Fresh and Easy
Yield 4-5 servings

1 1/2 -2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 tbsp oil, for sautéing

Marinade
1 small onion cut into chunks
3 tbsp chopped parsley
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
¼ tsp dried oregano
1 lemon, cut into chunks
2 tbsp oil

Sauce
1 14oz can coconut milk (not cream)
2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
1 ½ tbsp honey
4 tbsp soy sauce
1 bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
¾ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp curry powder
1/8 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp paprika

1. To prepare marinade, combine all ingredients in a bowl or Ziploc bag. Add the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator 6-8 hours or overnight.
2. To prepare the sauce, combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 5-8 minutes.
3. Add oil to a sauté pan over medium heat. Pan fry chicken in batches, 3-4 min per side. Return all chicken to pan. Add sauce. Lower heat and cook chicken and sauce together for 5-10 min.

Sticky Toffee Pudding

Introduction:
If you’re looking for a special dessert to serve to your guests in honor of Tu B’Shvat, Sticky Toffee Pudding is your answer! This traditional British recipe consists of a soft sponge cake made from sweet dates and topped with spoonfuls of luscious warm toffee sauce. Does it get any better?!?

Ingredients:
CAKE INGREDIENTS
1 pound dates, pitted and chopped
1 ½ tsp baking soda
2 ½ cups boiling water
½ cup margarine
1 cup +2 Tbsp sugar
3 eggs
1 2/3 cup flour

TOFFEE SAUCE INGREDIENTS
½ cup margarine
1 cup whipped topping
1 cup + 2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 ½ 2 tsp vanilla

Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the chopped dates in a medium bowl, stir in the baking soda then cover with the boiling water.

Separately, cream together the sugar and margarine then mixed in the eggs. Once well combined, add the flour and date-mixture and slowly stir until combined.

Place the batter in a 9x13” pan and bake for 40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

While this cake is absolutely delicious on its own, the toffee sauce really makes this dish spectacular! And it is so simple to make.

Melt the margarine over low heat then add the whipped topping, brown sugar and vanilla.

Stir the mixture until it hits a light boil then lower the temperature to a simmer and continue to stir continuously for 5 minutes. The sauce should be dark, creamy and smell wonderful!

Beat whip. Set aside. mix rest of ingredients. Add whip. Freeze 1 hour. Add pecan crunch and mix well to combine.
Sauce:

• ½ stick margarine
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ¾ cup pecans
In saucepan combine margarine, brown sugar and whip. Cook over med. –low flame stirring constantly until sugar is melted. Boil 1 min. Add pecans and close flame. Serve warm.

Disclaimer: I've never tried this recipe. I've been waiting for a YT when I can warm up the sauce before I serve it. Looks good though!

I actually made the crunch and sauce and used it with store-bought vanilla ice cream. With a ice cream scoop, I made balls of ice cream, rolled the balls in the crunch and froze on a cookie sheet. Then I served it warm with the sauce drizzled over it. It looked SO fancy and it was delish!!

It's not a matter of being hungry. We're required to eat 3 meals on shabbat.
The way our davening times and meals are set up, seuda shniya is breakfast time (DH davens at the netz), so summer or winter, somewhere in the afternoon we're hungry again for a decent meal, seuda shlishit.
This week we had to eat early, 2 pm, in order to be milchik again for the holiday meal at night. We had to stuff ourselves, but that's how things are on shabat.

Exactly. It is a siman in the Shulchan Aruch and applies equally to men and women. So eat less the second meal if you are always too full for SS.

Bedieved. Anyway if you have room for cake, you have room for bread - it's just the yetzer hara telling you otherwise. Cake is no less filling than bread.

It's easier to eat something sweet than dry challah.

We do something like Zus does in the winter. We wash and have cholent when dh comes home from shul, and then around 2 PM we wash again and have a regular Shabbos seuda minus the cholent.

So you spread something sweet on it.

Anyway, we hold that we should eat something that was especially cooked for that meal each meal.
