June is Pride Month, an exciting time to celebrate our LGBTQ+ community, educate our peers, and open our table to conversations about ourselves, our identities, and what is going on in the world around us. Every time I host a Shabbat with OneTable I think of new ways to impress my guests to keep them coming back.
As a self-proclaimed foodie and owner of a small candy business, I wanted to use my expertise to brighten up my Shabbat menu this month. If you are looking to elevate your dinner and celebrate with your LGBTQ+ pals, here’s a list of 10 rainbow recipes to take your Pride Shabbat to the next level.
Rainbow Candy Boards
Have you made a charcuterie board before? Try swapping out your cheese and nuts for licorice and sour gummy worms! Surprise your guests with a sweet and colorful rainbow candy board to brighten up your dessert offerings.
