    RAMADAN KAREEM Ramadan is the month of fasting, charity, good deeds, prayer and intense worship for Muslims around the world. It is that time of the year where days seem endless and nights fly by. Ramadan is a season to reflect, control yourself and feel the hardships that many face. Although Ramadan is not intended to be centered around food, it ends up that way. But for us, home cooks, it is always rewarding to see people, especially kids, enjoy our food after a long day of fasting. In this guide, my goal is to help you cook ahead, meal prep and freezer cook for the month so you can enjoy all the spirituality coming your way. FREEZER FRIENDLY RECIPES Your freezer is your best friend during Ramadan. Use your freezer to get ahead of the game. Freezer friendly meals can save time and ease your days especially during weeknights. You'll be surprised at how many things you can freeze. From main, pastry, drinks to desserts and even Suhur meals. Make sure you freeze food in freezer friendly bags or containers. Also do not forget to label food before freezing. Sometimes when food has been frozen it is hard to tell what is in there, trust me I've been there. Here is a list of recipes that you can freeze. DRINKS Follow recipes for drinks as written, add sugar or not it is up to you. Divide liquid among containers according to your family's consumption, label and freeze. When ready to use, just thaw in fridge overnight or even on the countertop during the day.

BY INBAL BAUM 10 JEWISH RECIPES FROM AROUND THE WORLD www. jta.org 04 MEXICAN SHAKSHUKA hen I first moved to Israel around six years ago, there were no Mexican food restaurants, and to my surprise, very little interest in the cuisine at all. Fast WW forward to today: Tel Aviv has blossomed with possibilities for burritos and genuinely spicy salsa and is currently home to at least six delicious Mexican-style restaurants. In truth, the ingredients used in Mexican food aren’t that different from those native to the Israeli diet: fresh tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, citrus and lots of spices.
