Pareve Shavuos Recipes do Double Duty
so you can cook once, serve often~
 Many of us look forward to the holiday of Shavuos because Shavuos recipes veer from the usual heavy meat fare in favor of lighter, but still rich and creamy, dairy treats. (Read why here.) However, the Rambam says is important to celebrate our holidays meat and wine for it makes a man's heart happy. What's a woman to do? Many have the custom to serve a dairy course or entire meal followed with a full meat meal on Shavuos night. Traditionally, we serve at least one dairy or one meat meal over the course of the holiday. A busy kitchen shuttling between basar and chalav can create kashrus chaos, a situation that will not help us enjoy the geshmak, delight, of Shavuos.

~Torah was given to the women first, as the Torah says, “ko tomar lebeit Yaakov vetageid lebnei Yisrael” in a kind a loving Voice. Kindness is the theme of Shavuos and cooking is a kindness we do for our friends and family. ~Our most sustaining memories are made around the Yom Tov and Shabbos meals. The love with which we prepare for the holiday is one of the ways we perpetuate Torah in our future generations.
