RE: Laurie- Passover and GF oat matza

[Guest guest]

Laurie,

I think I made 4 batches of matzah, that was not quite enough for a seder

with 9 people. I felt like I was making it constantly! This

kids really liked it and I wanted them to feel a part of the holiday and

since all their friends were eating matzah for lunch..... For 30

people, I'm thinking of 100 batches (just kidding, I hope!!). I

haven't thought about that part yet!

For the matzah ball mix and the matzah meal, I definately have a gf

version of them both. I'll tell you the name if you give me your

rocky road brownie recipe!! I don't know if you can get the mixes

year round, but I definitely got them easily during Passover. I

also found these very yummy choc covered marshmallows and bought a case

for my girls (although my husband seems to be eating most of

them!). I agree with your nutritionist, but we are more limited

than most since we are also dairy and soy free. Hopefully the last two

won't be forever!

I will get the brand names of the gf matzah balls and gf matzah meal

later.

Have a good weekend,

Don't I wish we could just bless our food gf!!! I promise to get the names

of the matza ball mix and matza meal. They are potato starch based. I've

used the matza meal to make stuffing and I've discovered that I have to add

more than I think looks right to get the mixture to be drier, more stuffing

like. We use the matza ball mix and I like it but I didn't love it at

first. It was fine, but I really liked the fluffy and light texture of

Maneishevitz and this gf version was missing something for me. But I

waited many months and when I tried it again, it was either better than I

remembered or my taste buds are forgetting my old favorites!
