Here it is Passover eve and all of us  are ready for that pre- seder nap.
My saga begins this year with my adventure in baking ,and what new recipes i can come up with or how to modify my previous recipes to gluten free.
So I preceded to take ground almonds and  pulse then until super fine in my food processor and used that instead of cake meal.Even I must admit my non grebrocht (gluten free) chocolate cookies came out  as good as my all year round ones.So yesterday I baked my cookies,coconut brownies,apple muffins,and almond.f sponge cake.then the cooking marathon began  with gefilte fish,sweet and sour carp,potato kugel,zucchini kugel,chicken soup and  cream  of zucchini soup,spaghetti squash , fried eggplant  carrot muffins , roasted beet salad,home made cucumber salad & coleslaw and last but not least  my son Motti & I made our killer homemade horseradish.After 7 hours on my fit i quit for the night.
 The saga continues this morning with  tongue,sweet & sour meatballs,bbq chicken,roasted chicken  chicken breast stuffed with  spinach & mushrooms and baked with a homemade cranberry sauce,oven baked fried chicken fingers,
 sauteed beet green,roasted cauliflower ,roasted Brussels sprouts,grilled portabella mushrooms,and safardi halibut stew, quinoa. And of course for our seder plate,safardi chaorset  with dates & apricots.
