8 Recipes for an Easy and Delicious Passover
When I was a kid, I loved being invited by my Jewish friends to take part in their holiday celebrations. It was so much fun participating in and learning about the traditions of another culture, and Yom Kippur, Hanukkah and Passover are among the holidays I remember most. At Passover, I was always endlessly jealous during lunchtime as I sat in our cafeteria eating whatever was being served that day, while my Jewish classmates ate from their brown bag lunches featuring a variety of Passover foods.
Many years later I found my husband and the love of my life, and guess what? He turned out to be Jewish! So I guess I was destined to keep enjoying these traditional foods after all. Look at this slideshow for a peek into what our family will be enjoying this year.

8 Easy Recipes for Passover

Nut-Free Nutella Matzah Sandwiches
This nut free nutella is slightly different than traditional Nutella, but it's amazing in its own right. And I don't know many kids who wouldn't enjoy melted chocolate mixed with sunflower butter inside some crunchy matzo for an awesome midday treat!

Matzah Ball Soup
Traditionally, matzah balls can be gargantuan, so you can only imagine how big they look to a little kid. To avoid intimidating my little ones with basketball-sized matzah balls in their bowls, I rolled mine into little spheres, making them perfect for tiny mouths to eat. And these matzah balls are light and airy, so even when you're feeing under the weather, this nutritious soup won't weigh you down!

Apple Cinnamon Matzah Brei
My family loves having matzo brei for breakfast, and this sweet version with cinnamon, tender pieces of apple and crunchy walnuts has become our new favorite way to prepare it -- so much so that the kids asked for it three days in a row.

With Passover being in the middle of the week this year, I find it overwhelming at times knowing there will be a crowd of hungry people flooding into the house expecting a home cooked meal, especially when I'm short on time.
