Tisha B’av

It’s summertime and I’ll never say no to a boat ride. Since I don’t actually have a boat, may as well make one using one of my favorite summertime squashes: the zucchini. This summer vegetable (also a fruit) is not only delicious but low in calories, contains potassium and Vitamins A and C.

Summer Squash Sails: zucchini, mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce, basil, minced garlic, turmeric, oregano

Cut the zucchini down the middle and scoop out the inside. Lay on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix spices and minced garlic with marinara sauce.
Fill zucchini with marinara sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese.
You can also add chopped onions or any other spices you desire.
Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 18 minutes.
Tip: If you want the zucchini to be softer first bake zucchini with the sauce for 18 mins. Take out of oven then add the cheese and bake another 12 minutes. Serve with salad.

Bon Appetit!

The month of Av is very special because we are taught to be happy and sad at the same time. Though we are mourning the loss of the destruction of both holy temples, we are happy to be alive and to be able to serve G-d. This is a great month of reflection; not only about what happened to our ancestors but what we do today to make ourselves a bit holier.

During the nine days of Av leading up to the fast of Tisha B’av, the Torah tells us to avoid certain actions and activities which include weddings/celebrations, shaving, haircuts, listening to music, wearing new clothing, washing clothes, and eating meat (except on shabbat).

To respect the Nine Days, I will only post dairy or parve recipes. I hope you enjoy them (but not too much).
