In better late than never news, I have finally made my menu plan for Rosh Hashana.
I’ve even started cooking.
Okay, fine. I’ve only made one thing – double batch of honey cookies.
But dessert is a priority, right?
Of course, I used my Rosh Hashana menu planner (have you downloaded yours yet??) to not just make our menu, but also to figure out my grocery list. So convenient!
If you’re still struggling to make a plan, feel free to cut and paste from the below. 😉
First Night of Rosh Hashana, Dinner

We are eating fish, not meat, as our main dish. (Hold on to your hats, folks!) And everything on the menu is a siman. Do you have my simanim card? Download it HERE. It’s the best!
Apple Stuffed Challah
Pomegranate Spritzers (pomegranate juice + bubbly Moscato wine for the adults and ginger ale for the children)
Apples & Honey
Honey-Mustard Salmon
Leek Quiche (I may make this crustless)
Roasted Beets
Moroccan Carrots
Pumpkin Muffins
Lentil Salad (in lieu of black-eyed peas)
Date Balls
Fish “head” candy*
*We buy the gummy fish from Trader Joe’s and relish in the whole removal of the head business – it’s a very silly family tradition

We’re potlucking and haven’t finalized the menu yet, but I would imagine it will mostly be more of the above.
I would love to hear what’s on your Rosh Hashana menu plan! Please share below in the comments – we could all use some more inspiration!
Shana Tova!
Im excited to try the leek quiche but i found only oud oat milk… any clue if its available in pareve or did you try a different milk?
Hey Leah – I used rice milk (because I had it on hand), but I think any dairy-free milk would work (almond, soy, etc.).
