Ok people, pressure’s on. Time to wow the most important, most respected critic, ever: our mom.

Yep, our parents will be here exactly one week from today to spend Passover with us. Do we even need to tell you how excited we are about it? Being able to spend the Holidays with them is priceless. It’s almost like being a kid again. Waking up to the amazing smells coming from the kitchen. Sitting down for coffee, talking and laughing for no reason. Happy childhood memories. If that’s not what the Holidays are all about, I don’t know what is…

And of course, having our mom’s cooking is always a (great) plus. But see, here’s the thing. Even though she’s the one who usually takes charge in the kitchen during the Holidays, she doesn’t eat any of the food she makes. My mom has been a vegetarian forever, which basically means that she makes all this wonderful food for everyone else to enjoy… but can’t have any of it.

So every year, we try to come up with something that we know she will enjoy. And this year, we are trying to step it up a notch with this recipe. Bite size, easy to make, light and elegant. And most importantly, “mom-approved”. No one deserves it more.
