After writing about delicious, salty matzo balls, it’s time to make something sweet for dessert.
This easy matzo toffee brittle recipe is a delicious Seder chocolate-based dessert (just make sure to use margarine instead of butter), and can also be stored for the entire week of Passover!
Because who the hell needs chometz when you have a delicious chocolate toffee matzo crack?
So, cooking for the Passover Seder are we?
Because you know that by the time everyone finishes reading the Haggadah and opening all the Passover gifts, they’ll be as hungry as the Israelites were in the desert.
This calls for a special case of our traditional Jewish Passover brisket, cooked easily in the oven.
Not sure how to cook a Passover brisket?
Don’t worry, I’m here to help.
Because there’s a limit to how many Matzo balls one person can eat during the Seder, am-I-right?
Right… put on your favorite music in the background, and let’s get cooking.
What is a Passover Seder table worth without some traditional Jewish matzo ball chicken soup?
Matzo balls (or matzo Kleis if you’re Yiddish) is what many people consider their favorite Kosher for Passover meal.
It’s kind of “expected” during Passover:
So if you’re going to cook this Passover, there’s no way I’m going to let you skip Matzo balls this Pesach.
Note: Then we’ll focus on other recipes like a traditional Passover brisket… But Matzo balls come first!
Don’t worry if you’re not sure how to make Matzo ball soup yet, soon enough you’ll be making it from scratch and you’ll discover how easy it is.
Let’s get cooking.
So you’re in the Purim spirit.
That means you’re probably looking for quick & easy treats to make for your kids (besides Hamantaschen of course), or even better – with your kids.
Am I right?
Yep, these chocolate balls are probably what you’re looking for.
Because you know that every Mishloach Manot deserves a personal touch, and what’s more personal than homemade chocolate balls?
No Purim is ever complete without traditional Jewish poppy seed cookies (also known as Hamantaschen cookies, Oznei Haman or Haman’s ears) – the official Purim feast food.
You can send the most delicious mishloach manot baskets, but Purim is never really complete without poppy seed Hamantaschen cookies for the kids, and adults.
Even though you might go the lazy route and just order Hamantaschen cookies online, it’s way more fun to make the cookies yourself.
Don’t worry it’s not that intimidating… It’s actually quite easy – even for a beginner cook such as myself.
So, up for the challenge?
I knew it!
Let’s get rolling (literally).

This dead-simple applesauce recipe will make any amateur cook feel like a master chef.
