Passover

I am the first to admit how much I loath the traditional food for this holiday. I can "fondly" remember those o cereal things that my parents bough for us as a kid. I think we had the same box a few years in a row.... All the eggs, potatoes, it was disgusting.

I have come up with my following passover week menu. I am posting it here so that you can survive the holiday too. It is a lot of work. I am going to be honest, I am in the kitchen for at least 3 hours a day. However, I have not had a single complaint from DH or DS. In fact, today DS told me this was his favorite holiday ever.

Breakfast at mom's: Matzah Brie with apple sauce, passover muffins

Re: Passover

Bumping for 2011. I was able to get Manichevitz passover blintzes in cheese and another brand in blueberry. I also was able to find passover french fries and passover chicken nuggets. I am going to make Quinoa Mushroom Pilaf too

If you have any suggestions or ideas please feel free to add to this.

Re: Passover

Not sure if you should eat lamb on passover? Also not sure if marshmellows are CFP.

Re: Passover

Thank you!!! I hate hate hate Passover with a passion. Could you please give me your apple muffin recipe??? Does it taste like a Passover cake? I think I have a serious aversion to matzoh meal lol

Re: Passover

I use the manachevitz mix and doctor it by adding small pieces of apples, or blueberries or chocolates. It actually tastes like an apple bran muffin and is the only boxed mix I like of all those mixes.

Re: Passover

This is wonderful!
