It will be interesting for me to menu plan for the Nine Days this year. I’ve always liked dairy better than meat anyway, but for the last few months, I’ve been eating according to Rivka Golombeck’s diet recommendations: whole grains, lots of legumes, and lots of veggies. I also avoid added sugar, oil, or salt—meaning very few processed foods (it’s crazy how many processed foods are full of sugar, oil, and salt!). I rarely eat animal proteins, usually only on Shabbos. Sounds intense?
