This year I made homemade matzo, from scratch (since we didn’t have any) and then made homemade matzo balls. They were delicious! The next day, we turned them into a nice breakfast by slicing them, adding them to browned onions with a bit of butter-flavored coconut oil, and adding some fennel, salt, and pepper. Cook…
Inventive Easter Brunch
Today we had only three eggs, but we turned them into a yummy egg salad, which we put on the rest of our homemade bread. We also decided to get inventive, and make potato chips in the oven! We cut them thin, put them on cookie sheets, and baked on a high temperature for a…
