I love cooking food for Passover.
Maybe it's the change in seasons or just the fact that everyone may be coming home.
Whatever the case, I love the sense of peace and order when getting ready for Passover.

Bonus: Matzo Snack Recipe
This year I tried a quick new snack that reminds me a lot of honey covered granola, only better.
No oats-only matzo farfel-which is really just a fancy name for crumbled matzoh.
Feel free to crumble your own matzoh or if you don't celebrate Passover and have no boxes of matzo on hand, crumbled saltines taste great, too.
There are a myriad of possibilities for this matzo granola snack.
Embellishing this with dried fruits, salted peanuts, a chocolate drizzle, extra salt, and who knows what, but those ideas for Passover snacks will have to wait for a later date.
This quick microwave recipe is one I found in the back of the Hot Bread Kitchen cookbook.
I think you'll like it, even if you don't keep Passover.
This is the perfect snack for those long drives to Grandma's when the kids are hungry and dinner will be still be awhile.
Kind of matzo brittle makes the perfect snack for Manservant who loves the honey taste.
This Jewish chex mix is addicting so I hid it in the recesses of my just cleaned pantry.
Hope I can find it again when everyone-well, almost everyone- arrives on Friday.
Check it out and check out some of my other foods for Passover that I conveniently listed above.
After all Seder means order and finding recipes each year is always a challenge!
Need some good Passover meals? These recipes have been tested over the years and are requested over and over again.
Happy Pesach to all of you and next year in Jerusalem.

These really do look great. Years ago, I made some sugar cookies that were partly flavoured with honey and they were outstanding so I know what you mean. I love crunchy snacks. Unfortunately, we are in our third lockdown with stay-at-home orders, it's really disheartening. Easter came and went without family.
mjskitchen says
Can I come to your house for Easter? I'll gladly eat anything you serve. It all looks wonderful. Just keep this brittle away from me because I would fill on it before I got to the meal. 🙂
mae says
Interesting recipe collection. I'm curious how you reposted and all the comments from 2016 are still here.

What a roundup : little bit of everything for everybody ! Thank you so much !
sherry says
so many fabulous recipes! i love the chicken ones. and that choc raspberry torte looks divine. happy Passover to you. I'm not sure if that's the right thing to say ...
Jeff the Chef says
Matzoh brittle, what??? How cool! And thanks for all the other wonderful looking recipes.
Abbe says
And matzo crack. So good. So worth it. And if you don't have matzo, use saltines!
Pam says
Oh la la! So many good things here, Abbe! My best friend years ago when we lived in Louisville always cooked up a storm for Passover every year and it was al so yummy delicious! But she definitely didn't make this Honey Crunch Matzoh Brittle, bet it is scrumptious! The Cardamom Pie sounds great too, it all does!!! Have a good rest of the week!
Abbe says
Thanks Pam! That chicken cardamom filling is awesome. But so is the brittle! Never turn down a Passover Seder invite. They are usually worth it!
Balvinder says
We make something similar with nuts and jaggery (unrefined sugar). So I can imagine how wonderful this would taste.
Thanks for bringing such a nice recipe and all your favorites for Passover.
judee says
A lovely collection of Passover recipes. I'm especially interested in the desserts! The brittle is easy and I can only imagine how good it tastes. I love your Passover (?) soup bowls!
John / Kitchen Riffs says
Really liking that Honey Crunch Matzoh Brittle -- very creative. And tasty. Heck, everything here sounds so tasty! We try to celebrate all the holidays. That way we don't miss any good holiday treats. 🙂
La Table De Nana says
It was Sat and Sunday and I missed this..I hope you had a wonderful weekend and Passover.
Those brittles:)
Abbe Odenwalder says
Was wonderful and went fast! Thanks Monique!
lisa is cooking says
I love making--and eating--brittle! This sounds like a great one. It wouldn't last long in my house.
Abbe Odenwalder says
It won't last long and even though this isn't a conventional brittle-it is similar to granola, but not chewy. Enjoy!
Balvinder Ubi says
all your Passover faves look do good. I have to try the macaroons 🙂
and your matzoh crunch looks lovely too, thinking about adding chocolate to it.
Abbe Odenwalder says
The macaroons are always a hit. Add the chocolate as a drizzle on top. I think it would be too hot to stir in.
Juliana says
Wow Abbe, that a nice collection of recipes for Passover...we are going to friends house for the celebration and I am so tempted to make this brittle...
Hope you are having a great week and Happy Passover 🙂
Abbe Odenwalder says
The brittle is so easy and tastes like honey. Feel free to add your own mix ins! Thanks Juliana!
SavoringTime in the Kitchen says
Everything looks wonderful, Abbe! You have had some big storms recently. The family of good friends here were affected by both of them - once trying to get into Denver and more recently trying to get out of Denver to get here for a family funeral this past weekend. Everything looks delicious and what a great round-up of Passover recipes. Wishing you a Happy Passover, Abbe.
Abbe Odenwalder says
Your poor friends. What a mess it was. Thanks Susan!
mjskit says
My mouth started watering with the brittle, but as I moved through the pictures, I got more and more hungry. Now I'm starving! I'm with Karen...which I were your neighbor. 🙂
Abbe Odenwalder says
You aren't that faraway. And I hope to be your way this summer!
Karen Harris says
These all look so delicious. I wish I was your neighbor.
Abbe Odenwalder says
Ha ha! Hard to think about starting to cook again!
Katerina says
I don't know fro which one to talk about! They all look delicious and that raspberry meringue looks very inviting!
Abbe Odenwalder says
Thanks Katerina. Take your pick. They are all good!
Amy (Savory Moments) says
Your brittle and all the other recipes look terrific! We just had some late season snow too but now it's warm again!
Abbe Odenwalder says
Thanks Amy! Had a respite over the weekend but now it is getting cold again!
Beth says
Everything looks so good - every one of those chicken recipes, and the raspberry meringue in particular! Sorry to hear about the snow.
Abbe Odenwalder says
These are a lot of my favorites, Beth. The meringue was a hit last year!
Liz Berg says
Your matzoh brittle looks irresistible! I'd have to give much of it away or I'd devour it all. I heard from Maddy---she lost lots of apple limbs and went out to shake the snow off her beloved peach tree. It was in the 80's here today---but we could have snow next week the way weather goes around here 🙂
Abbe Odenwalder says
Her poor peach tree! Crazy season, this spring is!
Angie Schneider says
What a mouthwatering roundup!! I would love some crunches for my lunch salad.
Abbe Odenwalder says
This would be great as a topping on fruit or ice cream! A little sweet, I think for a green salad!
Kitchen Riffs says
Apple trees are tough -- bet the snow won't have really hurt it. Hope not, at least! Anyway, great collection of recipes. Definitely not chopped liver. 🙂
Abbe Odenwalder says
They are tough, but we still lost some big limbs. And it bloomed even after it was down. Trust me-this is like egg salad wit sauteed onions and liver pate. You would love it!
Tricia Buice says
What a lovely roundup of Passover favorites - sorry about the snow 🙁 We're having a dry and cool spring with freezing temperatures last week. So many blooms are gone before they arrived. Hope you have a terrific weekend! The brittle sounds wonderful.
Abbe Odenwalder says
Thanks Tricia! Hard late Spring we've been having. It is a good crunchy brittle.
