Matzo Ball Soup

It just doesn't get much better than a piping hot bowl of Matzo Ball Soup. Carrots, Onions, Celery and Chicken were all in this traditional batch of soup.

Rosh Hashanah Lunchinner

A lot of your traditional Jewish holiday meal food items are found here. Brisket...check. Matzo ball soup...check. Gefilte fish...check. Stuffed cabbage...check. All were good. Another item is cole slaw, which this recipe goes back in my family for many many years and generations. Other vegetables include potatoes, beans, a cold vegetable mixture, and squash casserole. Baked chicken also made it onto the menu. All of which will be eaten over and over again for the next few days.

Caramelized Onions & Mushroom Matzo Pizza

This is my World Famous in My House Matzo Pizza. I caramelized some onions that became part of the base for the sauce for the pizza. The sauce was a fire roasted tomato and garlic sauce. You don't get thin crust pizza kosher for Passover any better than this. The onions were layered on top of the sauce, under the cheese. Baby bellas were broken up and placed on top. The plain cheese was for Brice. Later this week I might do some basil and tomato pizza's or spinach, mushroom and feta.

Passover Traditional Food - Matzo Brei

There are many different ways to make a matzo brei, but there is no better way than the way I was taught by my mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. The way we make it in our family is a 4 step process. Step 1: You wet the matzo and then break it into pieces. Step 2: Beat some eggs and coat the matzo. Step 3: Cook in the pan like you are scrambling eggs. You can also cook it as one giant piece like an omelette. Sometimes I will cook it this way, but most often I do it a little of both methods. Step 4: Plate and serve with either syrup or preserves. I usually go for the preserves and tonight it was kosher for passover cherry preserves. It really doesn't get any better than this.

Passover Sedar at our house...

We had a little bit of everything tonight, minus the bread, grains, and anything with corn syrup. The first picture is of the sedar plate with each item in its appropriate spot. This was also the first opportunity for us to use our fine china that we got almost 3 years ago for our wedding. Some of the typical Passover desserts we had were macaroons, flourless chocolate brownies, and jellied fruit slices. We also had some fresh fruit and I made some homemade whipped cream to go onto of said fruit. Food wise we had gefilte fish, matzo ball soup, chicken, brisket, veggies, and potatoes. Plenty of matzo was eaten as well, and will be for the next 7 days.
