I'm not eating in shul this Shabbos. It's Shabbos Mevorchim so I'm making my own cholent, too.

Plain red or white wine
Bought egg challah rolls, Stern's if I can get them

Boiled gef fish
Exotic salad from Shopaholic

Strawberry daiquiries – gotta use up the daq. Mix before Pesach !

Baked chicken thighs; not sure what kind yet
Baked pineapple (hot by night, cold by day) - recipe from Spark ppl

Double choc crumb cake - from another site. The cake part is either a mayonnaise cake or a cake mix; the kuntz is the chocolate crumb topping!

By day: egg salad, cholent with chicken necks, beans, cut up potato, farfel & kishka

Can you post your recipe? Thanks!

I dont really have a recipe. I spray crock pot really well.
Then I put rice on bottom and since we only eat white meat I put chicken cutlets on top. then I put tons of spices like salt garlic paprika sometimes shwarma seasoning and a can of diced tomatoes. then I add water to cover and put on low. It is always really really good and since we dont like cholent here it gives us something warm on shabbos.
U can also use chicken on the bone but be careful cause the chicken falls off the bone and sometimes small bones get hidden in the rice.

I make something very similar but add veggies and play around with grains and other additions. We also only like white meat but I find that cutlets tend to get very dry in the crockpot no matter how much liquid I add and I don't turn the crock pot on until the second before candle lighting. I was actually planning on buying a whole chicken this week b/c I'm sick of how dry it is. How do you prevent it from drying out?

It does tend to get a little dryer than I would like but I will not eat chicken on the bone it grosses me out so I deal with it. It does seem to be better the more liquid I put in.

Would you mind sharing the recipe?

I got the recipe here on Imamother. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't vouch for it, but others seem to have liked it. http://imamother.com/forum/vie.....48611
