Jewish Thanksgiving Recipes

Jewish Thanksgiving Recipes

Thanksgiving isn’t technically a Jewish holiday. And by technically, I mean actually. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have Jewish Thanksgiving Recipes!

I love Thanksgiving. The food, of course, is some of the best around. Turkey. Mashed potatoes. Cranberry Sauce. All topped with bourbon gravy! Remember Thanksgivukkah? When Hanukkah and Thanksgiving overlapped for the first time in forever and the last time in 70,000 years or so? Yeah. It was the best food day ever. So now I aim to recreate the Jewish/Thanksgiving mashup every year. Because you want challah in your stuffing. Trust me. How do you combine Thanksgiving and Jewish food??

    When I arrived to the USA as a foreign college student, my first THANKSGIVING was in the home of a Jewish family that invited many of the foreign students, I fell in love with it,any American can celebrate it.
    Later I married a non religious jew, my late husband taught me to cook,in my birth country I had servants.
    I also asked older ladies to teach me Jewish cooking.
    I am and always was a practicing Roman catholic, but I have a perfect Azkenazi Thanksgiving every year, with all the foods my late husband liked and our kids love.
    Kugel,latkes, cheese cake,etc,etc.

    […] Some may say remember 2013 as the year that introduced us to selfies and Candy Crush. But for me, it was especially notable for the convergence of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah aka Thanksgivukkah! […]
