Grain Free Cholent

Grain Free Cholent

This grain free cholent has so much flavor and texture, you won’t miss the barley and beans!! I love that I can eat a huge bowl of cholent without feeling bloated and this recipe is great for Passover too. Who doesn’t love a cholent you can eat all year long?!? PS. You seriously must add the kabocha squash because it mimics a potato and makes the cholent thicker. If you don’t know how to pronounce “kabocha”, check out this hilarious video and let me know how you say it!

Bar and Bat Mitzvah parties can happen on Shabbos Bar and Bat Mitzvah parties can happen on Shabbos but not the kind of parties with music, fresh cooked food, hair and makeup done, entertainment, all of that. So this was a Saturday night party (video coming later) that started a few hours after Shabbos 🩵
