Whether or not you’re a member of the tribe, Hannukah offers some pretty DELISH menu ideas. FULL DISCLOSURE: Last night, I spent a good hour shredding and peeling potatoes to make potato rosti (recipe courtesy of Martha Stewart Mag).  It was a semi-success so it’ll be back to average latkes next time around. I’ve been digging around the internet and found quite a few other ideas (some even with instructional videos).

Latkes, kugel, macaroons.  Sound like Chinese? Read on and I’ll give you the latest and greatest on Hannukah’s delights ….um, beyond the lights.

-JEWCY offers a cooking series video called, get ready “Jewboy Cooks.”  Hilarious.  Take a look at the latke video with options to add zucchini, apples, and more.

-Ok, this is even better.  Don’t have time to shred potatoes?  Try DRIVE-THRU!  Here’s a version from Bubbe Wendy.  Brilliance courtesy of JEWCY and Fancy Fast Food.

-Kugel, a noodle dish that never gets old.  Check out this recipe from Sweet and Savory Says it All

-Finally, some Gluten-Free Options from Gluten-Free Bay….and some serious MACAROONS from Cabaret Squidoo.

Have the best RECIPE EVER?  Share the love.
