Just a few weeks to go…and I’m sure many of you are in full planning mode for Pesach (Passover). I have been through a few vegan Passovers now and it is not easy. However, I haven’t made it very easy on myself. I get better each year, but I feel like this year is a real turning point.
So here is my #1 tip to make your life easier and the mantra I am going to repeat to myself for the next month….
You don’t need a recipe!
Just buy a ton of fruits and veggies, along with fresh and dried herbs, garlic, and onions and go to town.
Lay out a feast without any potchke or recipe! You can do it (and so can I)!
Vegetables
baked sweet potatoes/sweet potato fries
roasted potatoes
broccoli
baked or roasted squash (butternut/spaghetti/acorn)
zucchini noodles/zucchini chips
Brussels sprouts

collard leaves for wraps

I’ll be back shortly with more specifics and tips and even some Pesach planning printables.
Until then…don’t freak out! I’m going to help you simplify!
