Chanukkah Menu
Chanukkah always presents a dilemma for those who celebrate it when it comes to food. While it is certainly not the most important Jewish holiday, many families still use it as an opportunity to get together and celebrate with each other. There are many foods associated with Chanukkah, like sufganiyot, latkes, gelt, sesame seeds, and oil, but it is hard to build a menu around those things. This menu incorporates most of those items for a fun and festive menu that is easy on the host. The whole family will enjoy the mixture of traditional comfort food that with a little bit of extra attention becomes holiday fare.
