Passover Foods

Hi all, I'm in the middle of cooking for Passover tonight, and I have no idea how much of what I'm making I'll be able to taste, let alone eat. I'm making turkey and veggies in the middle of it all, so I know I'll be fine with that.

What about matzo? I'm assuming that it is a no-go like bread is, but how are small pieces? Matzo balls in my fantastic soup? Does anyone know if I can have a few bites? I'm skipping the feels-like-lead no-flour desserts in lieu of baked pears, I know that should be ok.

Now, back to my kitchen!

I'd be afraid to try Matzo balls be cause of their consistency, but you might be okay with Matzo bread since it is like a cracker. Many people people say crackers go down okay.

I hope you will post and let us know what you were able to eat.

Happy Passover!

I had matza last night and it was fine. The matza balls in the soup I only tasted one bite because I was afraid of it getting stuck. I am just sticking to chicken and veggies for the most part.

I did fine last night...unfortunatly I had snacked on haroset all day (fruit and nut mixture) so I had room for a little matzo ball soup and that's it(it had chicken so I got plenty of protein). My family tells me I made a lovely turkey and yummy side dishes, and an amazing dessert, but I was too full to enjoy. I really wanted a bite of the dessert too (baked stuffed pears) but that's ok.
