Hanukkah happiness when you make an easy gluten free make ahead dinner!
Appetizers:
- Make 1 or 2 starters but then have a bunch of store bought too. This will make life super easy.
- Prepare cheese plate and veggie platter in advance and place in fridge a couple nights before. Then as your guests arrive just take out of the fridge and done!
- Use a slow cooker and add frozen meatballs scallions, and barbecue sauce. Turn on low in the morning and you will have easy appetizer that does not take up valuable oven space.
1) Potato Chip Nachos
This is a ridiculously easy recipe combining saltiness, crunchiness, and gooey cheesiness.
Hanukkah Side Dishes:
- Find fun shortcuts (hacks) to your recipes. Below I use already frozen hash browns for the potato latkes. This way not spending hours grating potatoes.
- Have a guests bring a salad and veggie dish! People love to cook and are always asking what they can bring. This way they feel part of the holiday!
- Buy 1 store bout dish that is vegetarian/vegan just in case someone brings a guest with food restrictions.
1) Huge Sheet Pan Potato Pancakes

2 ) French Onion Soup Tomatoes

The Main Event (dinner):
- The slow cooker is a stress free holiday guaranteed! I make my brisket in the crock pot/ slow cooker so dont need to keep checking and opens up more oven space.
- Adding lots of veggies to cook with your main is an automatic side. Make sure to season veggies separately so have lots of flavor!
2) Slow Cooker Brisket
The easiest slow cooker brisket almost as good as my mom made.
Dessert:
- Make a fruit platter with a dip. The dip can be as easy as Greek yogurt lemon juice and sugar or amazing store bought chocolate dip. This can be made a day in advance to make easy!
- Let someone bring their favorite pies!
