Happy Passover and Happy Easter!


Hey there!  Today was a relaxing day. Spent most of it in the kitchen cooking various Passover side dishes for a dinner that I am having this evening.  Friday night marked the first night of Passover.  As part of that celebration, we were invited to the first Seder at a dear friend's home.  This holiday commemorates the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. 

I used to think that there were nowhere near enough tasty and original recipes to make during this time of year, but after several web searches, I quickly changed my mind. I found several that I decided to try.  Pictures will be posted to the Facebook page later on today, as well as the notes.

This year's lucky winners are:

  • Matzo Meal Muffins
  • Spinach Potato Nests
  • Matzo Farfel Kugel with Sweet Onion, Carrot, Celery and Mushroom
  • Spring Zucchini and  Yellow Squash Kugel
  • Apple Cinnamon Matzo Kugel
  • Passover Baklava Cake
Very much looking forward to our dinner this evening. We will be sharing our meal with some very good friends. A night of good food, good times, and great company.

Chag Sameach Pesach for my Jewish friends and family.  Happy Easter to those that celebrate!

Thank you for sticking with me while I get my blog back up and running.  It's been a slow start, but am looking forward to continuing this on a more regular basis!
