It is always fun when leftovers turn into a tasty new meal. I had planned on a Passover meatloaf for dinner, but the meat was not yet defrosted, so I checked my vegetable bin – half a cabbage and 1 leek unclaimed for any other meal. Add an egg and some matzoh meal, and I’d…

Joan Nathan’s Almond Cake with Figs, Orange and Honey for Passover
Passover desserts have never been one of my strengths, but since I was heading to upstate New York for the holiday, I needed something easy to transport. So, a cake it would be. And I would trust the ultimate Jewish cookbook writer to guide me…Joan Nathan. There would be no wheat flour in this cake,…
Passover Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cam has been in the mood for chocolate chip cookies, so why should he have to skip them on Passover. It was tough to find Kosher for Passover chocolate chips in Delaware, so I ordered some online. Once I had the chips, these were so simple, just 5 ingredients: almond butter, chips, brown sugar, eggs…
Homemade Horseradish
My Uncle Heshey used to bring freshly grated horseradish to our Seder each year. Of course, as a child, I dreaded the dipping of the matzoh into the horseradish. But as I grew older, I grew to appreciate he sinus clearing properties of horseradish. It “hurt so good.” This year, I was inspired to make…
Creamed Spinach Matzo Brei with Fried Onions
A couple of years ago, I found a recipe for Matzo Brei with Creamed Spinach and Crispy Onions on Food.Com. I made it and was wowed by it. It has become a necessary part of our Passover meal plan ever since! The only change I have made to the recipe is to use fresh spinach…
Raisin Farfel Kugel
Although I am now in Israel celebrating Passover with my daughter in the Negev, I wanted to leave you with a few recipes for the holiday. This first one is a traditional raisin farfel kugel by Chef Ceasar. I was drawn to it because it reminded me very much of my mothers noodle kugel. I…
Roasted Chicken with Jerusalem Artichokes and Lemon
Spring has sprung here in Dover! We even have enough daffodils blooming that I can start having fresh flowers in the house again. I went out to Farmer Kim to pick up some freshly dug Jerusalem artichokes. Getting fresh veggies again is making me so happy! I have been waiting all winter for the Jerusalem…
Rose’s Pickled Red Peppers
I always liked my mother’s friend Rose. They were friends in Kindergarten (in 1932), then ended up reconnecting when, as young mothers in the late 1940’s, their apartments were right by each other. They remained friends ever since. It was always a treat for me when Rose and her husband, Jack, would come to visit….
Chiles Rellenos Egg and Cheese Bake
It is time again to showcase Farmer Kim’s eggs…and what better way to do it than with an egg and cheese bake? This recipe is adapted from a chiles rellenos quiche from Cooking Jewish by Judy Bart Kancigor. I often make this during Passover, but it is good for a light dinner or brunch at…
Mushroom Matzoh Lasagna
As I have mentioned before, living near Kennet Square, PA, the Mushroom Capital, mushrooms are quite a local food. They are also one of Lauren’s favorites. Thus, mushroom matzoh lasagna when she came home for the weekend. This recipe is adapted from one I found on fabulousfoods.com a few years ago. The changes I have…
