Sukkos Menu Planning Made Simple: Sukkos 2024 Menu Template
Ready for another two sets of three-day Yamim Tovim? Get organized and keep calm with this Sukkos 2024 menu template!

Here is my beloved menu template that I have been making for so many years customized for Sukkos 2024/5785! I have tried other methods of recording my menu over the years, yet I always come back to this template. It’s really convenient as it allows me to slowly plug menu items in as I make them and/or plan them.
After making a three-day Rosh Hashanah, instead of getting daunted that I have to do it all over again (twice!), I’m trying to tell myself, Hey! I managed Rosh Hashanah. I can do this again! In fact I am planning to repeat a lot of menu items that my family enjoyed on Rosh Hashanah over Sukkos.
I generally try to keep my menu relatively simple. I make dishes like Oven-Baked Spinach Orzo that I can make in large quantities without having to stand over it and babysit it. That’s really my goal when planning my menu: I try to include as many dishes as possible that don’t require a ton of time in the kitchen and can easily be put together.
Several things that I’m making come from My Pesach Kitchen cookbook, which is filled with recipes that can be made all year long — like my stuffed chicken capons (page 106), onion dip (page 26), Mom’s beet salad (page 44) and more!
Having a good knife makes all the difference when prepping all that food. When slicing my meats, I love to use this knife.
Sukkos isn’t Sukkos without stuffed cabbage! There is a custom to serve it specifically on Simchas Torah for many different reasons. One of them is that since we are starting to read the Torah from the beginning, and the Torah is kept wrapped in a beautiful covering, we eat meat that is “wrapped” in cabbage. I make my grandmother’s stuffed cabbage recipe and it never fails to fill me with so much love! I have such fond memories of watching her make this special dish every year.
As we all know, this year is a “doozy,” with all the three-day sets of Yom Tov, and there are a LOT of meals to cook. Don’t be afraid to ask your guests to chip in and bring a dish or two. Also, it’s okay if you buy your baked goods from the bakery or your dips from the grocery (Trader Joe’s makes a great hummus!). Take advantage of any available shortcuts so you can free up more time with your family!
Thank you so much! Your menu templates are a life saver every Yom tov!
