I don’t even know where or how to begin writing this. Since most of us including myself are not going to be with their families and extended families for the Seder this year. We ask should we do it? Should we observe? I’ve been wrestling with these questions all along and have gone from upset to angry to just plain heartbroken. Between the current state of affairs which has me filled with anxiety and terror to the fact that I don’t know when I will see my children and grandchildren again. To say this night will be different from all other nights is a total understatement since who even knows what night it is.
We decided to observe the 8 day ritual of no bread which will add a further burden to our already difficult state of affairs. We decided to do it for tradition sake.
So even if you make one or two traditional dishes or none at all — sit down with whoever you can — even if it’s on zoom. And say a few traditional lines and I will do my part by providing you with some recipes and if you can get the ingredients please do so and follow along.
For sure I am not happy about this situation but have vowed to try and make the best of it and do my part. I am social distancing and I am staying home and since I can’t get take-out out here in the hills of Colorado I am cooking every night.
So make matzoh balls — make a chicken– make haroset– make something or order something that will help to make you feel like you’re celebrating Passover. Even if it’s just Matzoh! how about Matzoh Brie? easy to make and delicious to eat.
I will be posting recipes starting tomorrow but if you’d like a sneak peek put Passover Recipes into the search box on my site or google Passover Recipes @cookingwithcandi and they should come up.
Be Safe and Be Smart and Stay Home.

Thanks so much for that Robyn 😘 stay safe
Hi Candi! We are doing a virtual Seder thanks to zoom. My daughter is emailing everyone a Hagadda and each person has a marked recitation.And we will be using some of your recipes, scaled-back of course, to fit the smaller size of families sequestered at home. It should be very interesting. Stay tuned… Xoxo

Great idea Cand! It’ll sure be different from all other nights, but we need to feel positive about all of this! Maybe we won’t take things for granted as we always have! Maybe everyone will see it Works also for our planet!!!
