#easter meal

21.04.2019

Today we celebrated Easter. 

Here is the pre-Easter Saturday meal which may even become a family tradition in my house. It's Greek style fried zucchini chips. And get this, they're not considered as a cheat meal because it is all vegetable and even the breading has no fat. It's delicious and light.

A new study found that 67% of Americans celebrating Easter are visiting multiple grocery stores to find all the items they need to prepare Easter dinner this year. The average shopper stops by three stores to check all the items off their list. The hassle leaves 59% stressed out by grocery shopping. Here to help hosts skip the Easter-shopping marathon, The Honey Baked Ham Company® offers…

So this year I felt I just “had to” do it. There is no way I could go on always seeing both a Passover menu and an Easter menu (at the very high-end grocery stores I seemed to frequent) and NOT just go all out and have a Passover meal. Though I must say from the way I grew up surround by many Jewish friends, I already knew what to have—it was just a question of selecting and buying. So, here it is:

-Matzah Ball Soup

-BBQd Brisket

-Potato Latkes

-Tzimmes (Sliced cooked Carrots, sweet potatoes, w/ prunes etc)

-Lilly’s Chocolate Roll

I know what you’re thinking—this food has cultural and religious significance what about that? Well I did say grace before I ate and I do understand what it means to those who celebrate every year. I’m thinking this may be the first of many and I’d just get my feet wet. That is all.

PS: No, this wasn’t pescatarian/vegan like I usually eat—but it was awesome.
