I cannot believe that the Jewish Holidays are here already and this year will be very different from years gone by. I will not be with my family for the first time in maybe my life. Time to reflect for sure. While I am not happy about the situation I am in this year I will still the mark the days with some delicious Holiday Food. Here is a list of some of the recipes that you can put in the search bar on my site or just google the recipe with cooking with candi and you should be able to get it.

I am wishing all of you who celebrate a Very Happy Healthy New Year. Let’s all hope and pray that next year we will all be in a very different place.

Rosh Hashana starts in the evening of Friday, September 18

Yom Kippur starts Sunday, September 27

Passover 2020

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.

Before you know it it’s September 29th and the Holiday is upon us.  Oh well here we go again, for those of you who have been reading my blog you may have made a lot of these recipes. For all of you newbies a warm welcome aboard.  I am sort of a traditionalist when it comes to holidays and my family always looks forward to the same things. If I introduce a new recipe it’s always hold your breath time and what was wrong with the old one looks on everyone’s face.  Final decisions haven’t been made but I know that there are some things I’d never leave out. Here is a list of suggestions and by all means cruise through my blog and see if there is anything else to your liking. These are just a list of suggestions. I will try and post some new recipes so be on the lookout. Rosh Hashana recipes are tagged Rosh Hashana if you are trying to look them up on my blog. I may sneak in a recipe or two if I can get in the time. So sad summer is over but it’s time to move on .

Rosh Hashana starts in the evening of Sunday , September 29
