Patch Picks: Recipes for Passover and Easter

The spring holidays are upon us—Easter for Christians and Passover for Jews—and Reading Patch thought it would be appropriate to offer help with the holiday menu.

We’ve taken the Passover recipes from allrecipes.com and the Easter recipes from the Patch-connected rootsliving.com.

Enjoy. 

Passover 

• Garlic Prime Rib—Large gatherings require a large amount of food, and this recipe will prepare a full ten pounds of prime rib for you and your family.
• Haroset—With all the time you may spend preparing other portions of your meal, you may want an easy and quick desert. This recipe promises to deliver a sweet and fruity dish for six in just 20 minutes.
• Matzo Ball Soup—If you regularly make this classic, you probably have your own recipe. If you don’t, or you want to try something different, here’s one that comes highly recommended by users at allrecipes.com.

Easter 

• Root Soup—This soup, the signature dish of RootsLiving.com, uses ingredients that are fresh this season and can be modified to be low-fat, low-calorie and low-salt.
• Nan’s Mashed Potatoes—Indulgent and decidedly not low calorie, these mashed potatoes add aspects of loaded baked potatoes  to root’s classic preparation.
• I’m Dreaming of a Black Forest Cake—This site’s spin on Black Forest cake includes a cherry topping and a recipe for a simple home-made frosting.
