Passover Miscellaneous List

It's the season - seder stress is in the air. My mother, my mother-in-law and most of the other Jewish women I know have charoset/shankbone/brisket-on-the-brain. My kids, however, feel no stress (as it should be)--only pure excitement. I wish I'd shared their excitement when I was a girl--to me, seders were boring, fraught and irrelevant. I'm totally willing to take on the work and stress if it means my boys will have happy feelings about the seder.

Here is what's swirling around my mind right now, Passover-wise:

• I might get ambitious and make this cake for dessert, but if not, I have these delicious babies to fall back on.
• I'm trying gluten-free matzoh balls again (after a failed almond flour attempt on Rosh Hashanah). These have come highly recommended.
• I've been on the lookout for cute frog table decorations, but haven't found any. I was going to try to make some felted frogs, but I don't think that's going to happen this year. If you have found anything sweet/cute/non-cheesy, please let me know!
• One of my favorite children's Passover books is Nachshon, Who Was Afraid to Swim, which tells one of my favorite midrash stories. My boys, ages 5 and 8, love this one, too. 

Okay - time for me to make one more trip to the supermarket and then get down to cooking! Chag Pesach Sameach!
