“A happy host is a fun host”. My mother was a even planner and when it came to personal parties, it was something. Your tips, tricks remind me a lot of hers. The home is inviting, gives a true meaning to being a gracious host, delicious food (we eat with our eyes first) and most of all a loving atmosphere. Thank you for sharing your family, time and memories with us. ⛄️💕🌻
You are 100% correct. A happy host is a fun host. I now shower and dress 45 minutes before everyone arrives (my husband helps the little ones) so that the stress is decreased. You made this suggestion for Shabbos a while ago and it really works. THANK YOU for your videos, you are very busy so they take time, but we ALL LOVE THEM and appreciate the time/effort it takes for you to share your wonderful, time saving and helpful hints.
Prep kids were adorable…Mr. Prep was a big help as always, and Sonya, you are the hostess with the mostest! Only you could pull that evening off and still enjoy your guests. Everyone looked happy and thrilled to be there! I could taste the teriyaki salmon! Parents of one or two would have ordered in the whole thing, but your loving hands touched every morsel. You save time and energy where you can, which makes total sense. Well done Madame Prep!
Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year! Loved this video, great to see the family enjoying the holiday and excellent prep tips. Yehoshua was doing a great job helping out. I made teriyaki salmon for my parents for Christmas Eve dinner as I wanted something quick and easy because I was working as well as cooking a big meal for Christmas Day lunch. It turned out so well, really moist and delicious, although I cheated by sprinkling garlic powder on the fish before coating in the sauce as I had no time to do the garlic in oil. I served it with egg fried rice (bought ready done), stir fried veggies in oyster sauce and noodles dressed in toasted sesame oil, lime juice and scallions. I chopped my veggies the night before to save time. Thanks for your helpful tips! ❤
A Happy Host is a Fun Host. I am of the same mindset, Sonya; my house, my kitchen, even my desk at work must be put together before I begin work again. Otherwise, I cannot think straight! LOL
Also, a fun host is a happy host. If you have enough margin to be having fun you will be happy and so will your guests. I have a lot of people in my home as well and I totally agree with your sentiment. Happy new year to you all.
Yes, you are so right. A happy host is a fun host. Everything looked amazing and delicious, as always. So fancy! Especially the toasted baguette, cream cheese, raspberry jam, and fig. Thank You for sharing ❤
A happy host is a fun host. What a lovely video! I thank you for sharing with us. So very helpful and instructive. I love how your family joins in to help. Beautiful!
Sonya seeing your children's excitement and the shot of them with dad lighting the candles brought tears to my eyes. Such a beautiful family and such a special special time. I enjoy your channel so much and Thank you for sharing this celebration with us.
Sonya, what a magnificent family gathering! The food looks so amazing and delicious, and what makes everything inviting is the love and joy that transpired throughout the prep. Infinite blessings to you and your loving family💙 Happy Chanukah💙
My husband and I used to host a mid week gathering at which I provided a simple meal. Start time was usually 6:30 (I'd come straight from work to get things finalized), but one time a guest arrived before 5:00!!! I should have used more of your prepping ideas because I definitely did NOT feel like a happy, fun host in that moment!!
A happy host is a fun host. What a wonderful tip. This all looked amazing as always blessed is the person invited to your home. Absolutely love your chanukiah the one that uses oil.
A happy host is a fun host! Seems always some people arrive early. My tip - plan for early arrivals and something for them to do while you do what you need to.
Hello friend! Everything is beautiful! Love to see that your husband enjoyed assisting you and worked to help by your side. You know me... I love a good salmon. Great job! Happy New Year!
Beautiful Sonya ! And kol ha kavod ! Always stunning food/ presentation but more, love and emouna in everything you do. Thank you for sharing your parties with us ! (lovely little helpers in this kitchen ❤)
A banquet of angels and love. Ms Sonya I would pay money for your food. They are like your families treasure. I live in London & watching your videos has been an honour for me these past months. I wish the world could see your videos and that I knew someone at food network channel 😪 May the new year bring you and your wonderful family love, peace & a TV show. Fingers crossed 🤞 From my family to yours. Thank you. Thank you xxxx
I’ve been rewatching some of your videos and have a couple questions but not sure where to put them! I do love your Q & A videos and would love to see more of them. I understand that you probably don’t have time to answer these questions but maybe in a Q & A down the road. I loved hearing your husband answer questions! Questions What if you want to go away over the weekend or go on vacation, how do you deal with Shabbat? How often do you host guests for Shabbat? It seems you make a lot of food so I was wondering if it’s also food for the upcoming week or that you always have lots of friends over for Shabbat? Also, I love seeing your children in the videos! They are precious.
Your set up and food looked soo delicious and beautiful as always!! I wish my parties would have this kind of atmosphere! Can't wait for your next video, thank you for sharing 😊
I agree about the prices for groceries......its just nuts!! Floods in 1 area & droughts in another area affecting the crops while driving the prices up for those grocery items.
This is such a great vid- thx so much for the inspo, Sonya. I love watching your vids when prepping for shabbos and getting inspired. Your hard and beautiful work is so appreciated!! 💕
A HAPPY HOST IS A FUN HOST ,WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PARTY EVERYTHING LOOKS SO DELICIOUS YOUR ALWAYS COOKING AND BAKING SO DELICIOUS THE CHILDREN ALL LOOKED SO NICE YOU HAVE SUCH BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN 🥰♥️🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🐝
Nearly 9000 who have watch and only 776 likes, what’s wrong with people! Sonya you are amazing and I love your videos with all this delicious food! Thank you!
I adore you Sonia! I discovered your channel about a month ago! I have watched lot of videos. I am learning so much from you for cooking, baking, organizing and taking care of a big family. I am wondering if there is a video how you organized all your home after the move. LOVE
Wow! That was an amazing spread, Sonya. It all looked delicious. A party for 40 is no easy feat. Happy New Year to you and your family. And btw I'm planning to make sourdough bread soon - I've got my starter going.
Woe wow wow Live this video so much!!! You are so spechial!!!!! All your prep is so simple but gourges!!!!! I will keep your tips!!!! Thank you so much sonya❤🧡💛
I just started watching your videos and I’m loving it. Is there an “intro/overview” type video that provides an overview of Sonya’s life? I’m now seeing that you’re a working mom.
Happy and healthy new year to you and your family. Everything looks delicious. Absolutely beautiful you do an amazing job. And I love your helpers your kids are beautiful.
My mother and I have always been shy and awkward about hosting parties. Total dishtowels! I think we only did it 2 or 3 times each. This was so beautiful. You have a wonderful ability, and I am so glad you share it. I would try everything on that table too! Salmon is one of my absolute favorites! PS: What room do you put the donuts in? LOL! Xoxo
Hi sonya H r u'll doing this sunday afternoon ,, i love ur set up ,, its absolutely beautiful and awesome ,, everything looks absolutely delicious keep it up , keep up the fantastic work ❤ 👏 💖 😘 💙
I am highly allergic to dairy, looked like most of your dishes could be made Pareve. I thought the baguettes looked awesome. My grands would love them and the salads. I love letting them help me also.
Haha I must say I have a few stories of me looking like a dish rag 😂, you are so much fun to watch. I do try to look like a Happy host and be a little more organized whenever I’m not running around like my head has been cut off😅. not as good as you but definitely trying😁.. Have a blessed New year Sonya, love, love, love your videos!
I can't imagine hosting that many people!! I wouldn't know how or what to do. How do you know how much to make? I'm so happy that everything turned out so well for you and hubby and kiddos. Happy New Year and may you all have a blessed one!
@@SonyasPrep well if my husband and I had been there I would have made my husband eat a bit before we came. My husband can eat alot and if there was fish you would have had to watch him closely or he would have taken the tray and eaten it himself lol 😆 😜

A tip for a fun saled, is an Israeli salad (finely chopped tomato and cucumber) then add on top falafel balls and drizzle with tchina.

So, it was interesting to see all the men in one room and all the women in another. Seems like that's the way parties go the world over.
Yes! I find that at every party we all just gravitate to one another.
Very nice
A happy host is a fun host! I Love your channel! You are Amazing! Blessings to you & your family!🙏🏻
Thank you Emily
Hi sonya
H r u'll doing this sunday afternoon ,, i love ur set up ,, its absolutely beautiful and awesome ,, everything looks absolutely delicious keep it up , keep up the fantastic work ❤ 👏 💖 😘 💙
Quick tip when boiling beets. Put the beets in a bag and either steam it or boil it. Less messy!
I am highly allergic to dairy, looked like most of your dishes could be made Pareve. I thought the baguettes looked awesome. My grands would love them and the salads. I love letting them help me also.
Just wow incredible! Hopefully I can host as beautiful as this for my partner and extended family some day
🙌
"A happy host is a fun host”.
Haha I must say I have a few stories of me looking like a dish rag 😂, you are so much fun to watch. I do try to look like a Happy host and be a little more organized whenever I’m not running around like my head has been cut off😅. not as good as you but definitely trying😁.. Have a blessed New year Sonya, love, love, love your videos!
I learned the hard way as a new host until I implemented some changes and tips. We all learn as we go and do our best
Awesome 👏
Fun to watch you.
Thank you for watching
Wonderful video, Happy blessed new year to you and your family🎉
Thank you, you too

I can't imagine hosting that many people!! I wouldn't know how or what to do. How do you know how much to make? I'm so happy that everything turned out so well for you and hubby and kiddos. Happy New Year and may you all have a blessed one!
It is nerve racking at first. I over make to be on the safe side. With years of hosting I just started to develop a sense of how much to make
@@SonyasPrep well if my husband and I had been there I would have made my husband eat a bit before we came. My husband can eat alot and if there was fish you would have had to watch him closely or he would have taken the tray and eaten it himself lol 😆 😜
