You've got the kids this Shabbos. Here's the plan.
Weekly kosher menus your kids will actually eat, one shopping list sorted by aisle, and a Friday timeline that counts back from candle lighting. Weekdays, Shabbos and Yom Tov, made for one dad and a few hungry kids.
Written by a dad who cooks, for dads doing Shabbos on their own.

How it works
Pick your week
Kids week or solo week. Plans are built around your custody schedule, so nothing goes to waste on the off weeks.
Shop once
One list, sorted by aisle and scaled for you and your kids, with the kosher basics you need on hand.
Cook on a clock
A Friday timeline that works back from candle lighting, so everything is hot and the kids are ready when Shabbos starts.
What's inside
Real food, short ingredient lists, and no recipe that needs a second pair of hands.
Kids-week Shabbos
Friday night, Shabbos lunch and seudah shlishit that kids remember: challah, chicken, cholent, dessert.
Solo-week plans
Cook twice, eat well all week, with a real Shabbos for one.
Weeknight dinners
30-minute meat and dairy dinners for the nights you have the kids.
Shopping lists
Every week, sorted by store section, with amounts for your family size.
Friday timelines
Step-by-step countdowns to candle lighting, from slow cooker to blech.
Yom Tov guides
Seder, Sukkos and Rosh Hashanah meals with the kids, scaled down and stress-free.

Guide
First Kosher Kitchen
New apartment? Set up a working kosher kitchen in one weekend.
- What to buy for meat, dairy and pareve, with a budget
- A color-code system you and the kids can follow
- Toveling and kashering basics, and what to ask your rav
- Your Shabbos setup: plata, urn, slow cooker, timers
- A first-week checklist
Questions dads ask
Is everything kosher?
Every recipe is marked meat, dairy or pareve and uses only ingredients you can buy with a reliable hechsher. We follow common practice; for halachic questions, ask your rav.
I barely cook. Will this work?
Yes. Recipes use short ingredient lists and basic skills, and the timelines tell you exactly what to do and when.
What if I only have the kids some weeks?
That's the point. Kids-week plans feed you and the kids; solo-week plans are cook-once meals for one.
How many kids does a plan feed?
One adult and three kids, with notes for scaling up or down.
Do you cover Yom Tov?
Yes. Holiday guides come out ahead of each Yom Tov.
