Passover Week Meals and Snack Ideas

[Anonymous]

Please share your favorites, especially family/kid friendly ideas. I didn't grow up doing Passover and this week always makes me feel a bit overwhelmed.
Thanks!

Matzoh Bagels

2/3 cup boiling water
1/2 cup oil
1 cup matzo meal
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar
3 eggs

Bring to boil water, oil, sugar, salt. When bubbles start forming, add matzo meal slowly, mixing all the time. When mixture looks like cooked cereal, remove from heat. Add one egg at a time, form balls, put on greased cookie sheet. With wet knife or finger, make a hole or an "x" in the middle. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

Best eaten warm. My kids love them and they are super easy to make.

Stock up on extra fruit and chopped-up vegetables for snacking.

Tuna fish or egg salad are good with matzah.

My kids love boiled eggs so I boil a whole dozen and keep them in the frig for snacking/easy lunch.

Yogurt. Seems like we eat lots of yogurt during Passover!

Don't get caught up in what you can't serve, just think of simple meals ....salmon with sides of veggies, baked chicken with green salad and potatoes, etc.

I'd love to get a recipe for good matzoh desserts or a good flour free chocolate cake recipe. Anyone have any of those to share?

Don't forget the beloved matzoh pizza!

Matzoh, red sauce, mozarella cheese and place into the toaster oven. Makes everyone happy.

My mom makes a matzah lasagne. Sounds awful but not bad. I don;t have the recipe but I am sure you can find one on-line

Second the yogurt, eggs, and fresh fruit for snacking (mmm pineapple). Also nuts -- almonds, cashews, anything but peanuts. We also make a big batch of charoset and eat that for snacks or as part of dinner. Dinner tends to feature a protein (fish, chicken), a green vegetable, and sweet potatoes or charoset. Soup (chicken/matzoh ball) or salad (simple olive oil / vinegar dressing) also gets eaten frequently. Scrambled eggs are another option. In all, it's not too different from how we usually eat, except being extra careful not to eat grains or anything else not kosher for Passover.
