Passover tastiness made easy

With few exceptions, when it comes to Passover dishes can be a bit dry. Think matzoh in everything. But then last year I had a realization: I don't need to buy egg noodles, unleavened crackers and all sorts of gimmicky items when heck, I don't typically eat this stuff anyway!

Don't want to stop anyone from eating matzoh brei (sprinkle a dash of cinnamon sugar on it for a hint of heavenly sweetness!) or good ol' matzoh pizza, but this year think about your typically eat every night of the week. Head to your BBQ and get grilling: cook some chicken and vegetables (I love eggplant, zucchini, squash, etc). All they need is some olive oil, salt and pepper. Make a big salad with chicken or tuna salad on top. Do breakfast for dinner and make an omelet with fresh veggies and your fav cheese (my vote goes to feta!). Make chicken, eggplant or a veggie-stack parm. Enjoy steak and potatoes -- they're K for P, too! There's really no limits.

Jewish or not, think of this as an opportunity to eat fresh, healthy food. Eliminate the packaged foods and carb loading. And, if you're still struggling.... head to TooJays or your favorite local deli!

Coming tomorrow: my simple recipe for a no-fail, tasty sweet potato pie. Mmmm.
