    As I wrote on the post: This looks really nice! I am interested in how to budget the time for your Shabbat preparations, since I think I need some help in that area.🌹🍎⌛️

      I do my grocery shopping on Sunday, and start doing prep on Monday, and do a little bit every day. I bake my Challahs about once a month, usually on Wednesday, and freeze them. By Thursday, I usually have all the prep done, so what’s left is to stick chicken into Instant Pot and let it do its own thing, do something with fish, mix salads, and bake dessert. My housekeeper comes on Friday morning, so by Thursday night, everything must be done. Sometimes, when I have a busy week (especially before I retired), I stay up till 2 – 3 AM, but it’s ok, because I can rest on Shabbos.
      I know how tough it is for you, Carol, but the idea is to plan your Shabbos menu and figure out what could be done, or at least prepped ahead of time. Have a wonderful Shabbos!

        I end up cooking Thursday and Friday mornings before I go to work. But, I am spending more than 90 minutes each morning and I am trying to come up with an easier plan. Maybe I should work backwards and figure out how much I can make in 90 minutes??

        That might help, but I am a big believer in prep, i.e. doing a little bit every day.

        Me too! Perhaps it’s a question of working smarter not harder? I am trying to come up with a more efficient plan.

        I believe it is, and it’s all in smart planning.

        If I may suggest, take a look at your standard menu and figure out what you can do in advance and freeze or refrigerate. Once you do that, consolidate procedures, i.e. have a chopping day, a cutting day, a baking day, etc. For instance, Tuesday is my slicing, grating, and chopping day. I lay out all veggies that need to be processed, wash them, and lay them out in order of doing them. Then some get pickled or cooked right away, some get frozen, and some refrigerated, to be made into salads on Thursday night.
