Passover Cookbooks


These are the Pesach (Passover) cookbooks, I use to help me make a tasty holiday.  I put stars next to my favorits and the ones, I get the most recipes from.  I use some every year and others, I make a point of trying new ones or different versions.

 I am not advertising these books but I included the Amazon links if you want to find out more information about each.  For those of you who are cooking for Pesach, enjoy the preparation.  Try not to get hassled.  Take breaks throughout the day and try to do your prep work sitting down.  I don't have back problems but I find that cooking throughout the day is causing me some discomfort and sitting down makes a difference.

 I enjoy cooking so this part is fun and that includes washing dishes.  I love using practically new dishes and utensils.  Even though the same dishes come out year after year and have done so for decades, they are like new, only being used for a little over a week.  

 I also pamper myself with gadgets to make the cooking as enjoyable as possible.  Each year, I buy an inexpensive item which makes a difference.  Don't laugh.  This year, I got myself a two cup glass measuring cup.  Yes, I have a one cup and a quart sized but I find that the one I need the most is the two cup so that was my indulgence.  Another year, I was a bit more extravagant and got myself a food processor and another year, a hand mandolin.  When you spend so much time chopping and slicing, these make a big difference.

 Back tot he kitchen I go.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Image
Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
