Because Tu B'shevat has fallen out on shabbos lately, I can't seem to remember what it's like to celebrate it outside of the normal shabbos meal.  I suppose it's the same really, except that we get two celebratory meals in one week, and double the normal amount of cooking.  To help keep things simple, below are three Tu B'shevat menus that are holiday worthy, but won't have you slaving away for hours in the kitchen after work.
