It’s hard to prep and serve every single meal. Why can’t the kids help themselves? They can! This handy snacks list can help you stay stocked or answer the question, “What should I eat?”
Pesach is a hectic time in the kitchen. And the days leading into Pesach (and Chol Hamoed) are even more hectic. You’re so busy cleaning, cooking and preparing that it’s hard to remember to feed the little ones. So, we’ve prepared a list of snacks/light meals that require no prep (or just a little prep) on your part to which your kids can help themselves.
Matzah or Pesach crackers with:
Butter and salt
Butter and chocolate shavings (apparently that’s a European thing)
Cream cheese
Cream cheese and lox
Nut Butter
Avocado
Matzah pizza
Jam
String cheese or cheese slices
Apples/pears with nut butter

Bananas dipped in chocolate and nuts (freeze these for a special treat)
Turkey breast slices with pickles
Yogurt with fruit and/or pesach granola/cookie crumbs

Applesauce – homemade or bought (we won’t tell!)
