Passover Dinner: delicious foods for the whole year

I had a small Seder at my house on Friday. Just the family. But I cooked a LOT of food and we read the first half the PASSOVER HAGGADAH. ©Rabbi Amy Scheinerman, then we feasted. It was a great celebration and even though I eat dinner EVERY night at the table with my family, it was special. Here's a look at our dinner. 

1.Roasted vegetables (carrots, yams, sweet potatoes): Chop, toss with a bit of olive oil, salt & pepper, lay out on a cookie sheet, bake at 400 for 45 minutes, turning half-way through.

2.Matzo ball soup: Manischewitz mix. (Use half the soup mix, twice the matzo ball mix and add your own veggies.

3.HAROSET! The sweetness to erase the bitterness. I use an Ashkenazic recipe from the Jewish Holiday Kitchen by Joan Nathan (LOVE IT!): diced apples, raisins, wine (or grape juice), slivered almonds, cinnamon, zest of one lemon, and sugar. Eat with Matzo.
4.Green Veg: sauteed asparagus...

5.Instead of Gefilte Fish, we had salmon cakes. (Substitute matzo crumbs fro bread crumbs.)

Anf for the finale...Matzo Toffee Crack for dessert!!!!!!!!!
O, so good! Food.com recipe here


It was great. Happy Passover or Easter to you if you celebrate the holiday. Happy cooking to you all!
