Sukkot starts this Wednesday and it is the Jewish festival of giving thanks for the fall harvest. It is a great time to reflect on the abundance in our lives, which also gives me great cause for a celebration! Each year, my family erects a sukkah (a temporary "dwelling") in our backyard, where we decorate and eat in it with friends and family over the course of a week.
Check out my Pinterest board for some great ideas on decorations to put in your sukkah. We have done everything from paper chains and paper cut-outs, to faux and real fruit over the years. For this year's decorations, my board has so many ideas, I am not sure what to pick, including paper lanterns, decorated paper leaves, and sun catchers.
And no VeegMama celebration would be complete without food! We have a couple of gatherings this Sukkot. Here is what I plan to serve.
