Matzo Brie
Passover has started. Passover celebrates the exodus of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. The food most commonly identified with Passover is matzo. When the Jewish people were fleeing Egypt, they had no time to wait for the bread to rise and the result was unleavened, flat bread (matzo). I've found this yummy recipe on Kiwi.com for a Matzo Brei
.
Ingredients
.
Ingredients
2-4 pieces of matzo
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Briefly run matzo under warm tap water until soft (not soggy). Squeeze gently and set on paper towels to drain excess water.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk eggs until well blended.
- Tear soft matzo into medium-sized pieces. Add to eggs along with salt and pepper. Stir until blended. If using one of the variations below, stir additional ingredients into egg-matzo mixture.
- Heat butter in large skillet over medium heat until melted.
- Cook the mixture until eggs are set, turning with a spatula to make large scrambled pieces, 3 to 4 minutes: Serve immediately.
Flavor variations:
Herb: Stir ¼ cup chopped herbs (we suggest parsley, dill, chives, and basil, in any combination) into egg-matzo mixture before cooking.
Smoked salmon: Stir ½ cup chopped smoked salmon and 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives or dill into egg-matzo mixture before cooking.
Sweet: Use an equal number of eggs and matzo pieces. Prepare as directed and top with either cinnamon and sugar or maple syrup. (this is the one I made YUM YUM)

Suzy Libermann's Hugo the Happy Starfish Books ~~REVIEW~~
I was please to be introduced to the wonderful wold of Hugo the Happy Starfish.
Right now my son is all about sea creatures so as soon as he saw the shark on the cover
I had no problem convincing him to read these books with me.
By working together as a group, Hugo and his friends manage to show the bullies that there is always a bigger fish in the sea and that happiness comes from respecting others not bullying them.
The story is done in a great way to get your children to open up about what they might be seeing or have happening to them in school. It shows the power ONE can have to effect a whole group.
In the story The Secret to Happiness Hugo is tired of feeling sad, one day he sets off to find happiness. After much searching, he discovers something that makes his heart do a somersault! Sharing with others is the only thing that makes him truly happy. Adults strive to teach children to share with their communities. Encouraging children to give teaches them empathy, as well as a sense of social responsibility. Children can feel empowered by giving and sharing with others. This book is a great way to teach EMPATHY. I like how colorful the books are and how easy the messages are given, showing how great Hugo feels when he learns to help others. Each book has a great spot for your child to add their own experience to the story by sharing a drawing. I also found the introduction of Spanish a very nice touch to the story.
