I tried really hard. Really, I thought “Passover will be so easy.. I’ll just continue to eat exactly how I always do!” I had recipes ready to go, I had food prepped, and then I realized I forgot about legumes. Ok, no big deal. And then I realized I forgot to read a list of ingredients.
So I’m not perfect.. but I’m doing the best that I can! I mean, it has been a whole day and a half.
[Breakfast]
Slimmed down sweet scramble topped with my homemade maple cinnamon walnut butter, cashew butter, and walnut butter quinoa granola. Success! A delicious, Passover-friendly breakfast.
[Lunch]
Kale salad with lots of veggies, buffalo sauce, and a Savory Mushroom & Roasted Garlic No Bull Burger. Sounds like it should be good.. and then I realized I didn’t read the ingredients on the burgers. One ingredient is lentils; alright, legumes aren’t the end of the world. Oh, how about the barley and spelt? Whoops! Good thing I have the rest of the week to make up for it, right?
[Dinner]
Leftovers! My family always does 2 nights of everything. Seriously, I thought there were 2 nights of Thanksgiving growing up and I didn’t understand why other people didn’t celebrate the second night.
Regardless, the second night of Passover we had some leftovers and some new additions. Salmon, Bube’s brisket, roasted broccoli and sweet potato, and some fabulous charoset which I will be sharing the recipe for very soon! [Figs, orange, and dates! OH MY!]
[Snacks]
Apple.
Carrots with baba ghanoush and curried golden raisin hummus. Gotta work out a recipe for this hummus!
Mini carrot cake cupcake and a piece of dark chocolate covered matzah. Those paleo cupcakes were a huge hit! Glad I doubled the recipe and made minis!
No more No Bull Burgers for me this week.. back on the Passover wagon today. I promise! [Except for the beans in my sweet potato burgers.. ohh legumes, you get me every time!]
Food for Thought
Have you ever failed on day 1 because of minor oversights?
Does your family have any traditions like my family’s two-night celebrations?
Barr & Table 
As long as it wasn’t a cautious fail I think you’re forgiven. GET THIS… one year, my mom, my now roommate, and I were all snacking on matzoh crackers… I mean seriously, could you get more Passover friendly? Apparently you can. It wasn’t until halfway through the box while having a discussion about the base of Passover friendly crackers that we realized the teeny tiny note that said “not kosher for Passover.” Just another reminder to think before you eat I guess!
Hahaha yea, I’ve seen those not Kosher for Passover matzah crackers! I’m not even sure why anyone would want to eat matzah when it’s not Passover!
That kale salad looks awesome!
Thank you! Love my daily kale salads 🙂
Ha, that’s funny. My house is leftover crazy too!
We’re always looking for new ways to use our leftovers!
