The only place that I ever really liked Pesach food was Israel. We did Pesach there 3 times, and it was beyond awesome - although I gained 10 lbs in 2 weeks during my trip in 2004. Tons of rice with the Iraqi relatives, lots of BBQ, awesome fresh salads on a kibbutz, huge Israeli breakfasts, kosher fast food (seeing "Burger King - kosher lePesach" never fails to amaze me), yummy kosher chocolate cake at a cafe....... Here, unfortunately, Pesach is traditionally all about meat, potatoes, matzo meal, eggs and constipation. It's great and exciting for a couple of days, and then the leftovers get really tired. My kids also love pasta and cereal, and I refuse to spend a fortune on Pesach noodles and kosher-Os, both of which are expensive and disgusting. |

I like peasach food...My figure does not. And matzah is not a favorite of mine, especially when I have to wash and bench to eat it (As opposed to the rest of the year when we say mezonot on it..) |

I turn over the kitchen a few days before Pesach. The way it falls out this year, I'd like to do it on Tuesday. Go food shopping Tues night and cook Wed through Friday. I keep my dining room chometzdik until bedikas chometz night, which this year is on Thursday. I buy take out/pizza for supper for the last 3 days before Pesach. If it's nice, the kids can eat on the porch. But I can't count on that- it's still in the 40s here. Shabbos will be pesachdik except for the small amount of challah (eaten over the garbage). |

We were also told to do pita bread last time erev pesach fell on shabbos - much fewer crumbs. And we made motsei on the balcony, but the weather was really nice (the cherry blossoms did me in, though!) JRKMommy - I really avoid all the pesach-equivalent foods, like the pizza and pasta. The only exception is the o-cereals. We bought them for my fil when he used to come stay for pesach, because he insists on them for breakfast. My kids really like them, and it's a good alternative to matza for the boys with their sensitive guts. And until last year, one boy couldn't do wheat, so the non-gebrokts ones were a great food for him. I don't think I could say no to them any more, though we try to limit the coloured ones (dh usually buys on box of them, so we say only for yom-tov!) |

My kids usually do yogurt/cottage cheese and fresh cut fruit for bf and Frei and I do fresh fruit and depends on our mood. We don't have lots of protein choices. They do like the non-gebroks hot cereal pre-pesach |

I buy the peasach cereals, but they really are not a great hit. |
