I think a matzoa meal tart cruse....with a cheesecake like filling ( cream cheese maybe sour cream and an egg or 2) baked in the crust and then topped with charoset!
One year for the 2nd seder at my son's as there were a bazillion little kids who only ate chicken nuggets, I made kosher chicken nuggets. seasoned matzoa meal with garlic, parsley, salt and pepper...and made "fingers" from chicken breast, dipped in matzo flour ( actually just buzzed the meal in the blender), egg and meal.....and deep fried!! Beyond yummy!
Can'tf eature asparagus kugel....but a potato kugel with asparagus on the side....Or maybe an asparagus soup with matzo balls....
But what's passover without a flourless chocolate cake?

As of this time we are not having Easter, time will tell.

LOL! Linda, we never have flourless chocolate cake! I could make one, but half the company wouldn't eat it.

The asparagus was meant as a side on its own. The green kugel is a recipe fro a friend of mine and very good. Spinach, some other greens, carrots, peppers, squash. It's a bit of a pain to make, since the greens need to be pressed, but a great make ahead. The only drawback is that it has no fluff to make a beautiful plate. Plus side, more room for the asparagus. :)

I'm not sure I'd like a charoset cheesecake because it's too sharp, but that would be a dessert, besides being dairy. My tart would be for the maror. :) Something a bit wacky but gets the job done. :)

Many thanks for reinforcing that the matzah coating will work on the chicken. It's an odd choice but I think it will please everyone. Being freed up from the usual roasts and braises is kind of amazing.

I think I'd be going a bit nuts if we hadn't already shrunk our celebrations, but not marking the holidays, since we do celebrate them, would be particularly sad.

I'm guessing we'll play at being heathens this year, given extenuating circumstances. But truthfully, we've not specifically celebrated Easter for some years. I am at a loss as to what we might have that'd be remotely special. Just DH and I, and I'd planned lamb loin chops, but I made that already (doh!) so it'll be whatever is in the freezer or pantry and work around what the store doesn't have. I've got a unopened canister of matzo meal... maybe pour that on a dish and call it done? Nah ; ) I've got some fish in the freezer, and that sounds special enough, I'm thinking. plllog, that tart sounds good to me. I hope everyone's stores carry all the needed ingredients for whatever you cook : )

Thanks, 2Many. It's still several weeks away, and I'm not too worried. Other than the fresh foods--and I'm not planning anything hard to find--I think I have everything. Ordinarily, I'd buy new matzah, etc., which is ritually correct, but I have unopened, which is fine. If there's plenty in the stores, I'll buy it, but otherwise, I'll leave what there is for those who are more ritually pure.

You have plenty of time to plan a holiday dinner for the two of you. You can boil or blow an egg and paint it. Make an egg stand out of a scrap of foil and play find and move the egg. :)

We had our CB&C last week as we were supposed to be in San Francisco tonight to see Hamilton. Nope! Daughter is a cop and her wife is a nurse, so they better stay away! LOL! Other daughter teaches medical assisting, but classes are cancelled, so she and her hubby MIGHT be safe.....NAW, just crawling into our little hole!

I bought some reeses eggs. That's my plan for Easter. They are in the fridge, taunting me.

I never host but I usually do most of the cooking for holidays. Either my mom or sister do the hosting and I haven't heard anything from them about Easter yet.

I would be perfectly happy staying at home with SO and the reeses this year.

Ours will go along just like it does every year, with the exception that Elery and I most likely will not attend Easter services. Michigan has instituted a "50 people or less" rule, the bars and restaurants are all closed other than for take out, schools are closed, even the casinos are closed and churches are doing "virtual" worship services. Our Governor did not wait for the federal government, she jumped right in with both feet, and good for her!

I have a local ham in the freezer, and butternut squash and potatoes in storage, so those things are covered. I have plenty of flour and yeast, I still have two POUNDS of yeast in the freezer from my last Sam's Club run, so I'll bake dinner rolls, just like always. Green beans from the pantry, now I'm glad I canned those 100+ quarts last year, I had been thinking that we'd never use them before this year's garden "came in".

Sugar seems to be a hot commodity, one of the few things I can't find at the grocery, but I have canned pie filling and frozen fruits and berries, so there will be dessert.

I went to the store today and the only things that were gone were toilet paper/paper towels, dried beans, flour, sugar and butter. Lots of eggs, dairy, meat cases were full. Some pasta on the shelf, but not a huge amount. Plenty of produce and I even found peroxide for my brother and some rubbing alcohol. I still have wheat berries and a grain grinder, so I can grind flour if I need to.

Mother won't be coming, but the girls and the grandkids will all be here, and we'll be thankful that we are together and hopefully all safe, although none of us can see the future.

I finally figured out CB&C! (Google didn't know)

Interesting that in an emergency, what people most desire is toilet paper. :)

I have plenty of good baking powder but not so much yeast, but I have my pet sourdough starters and they're self replicating. I just don't want to use up my flour feeding them, so they're staying in the cold. Luckily, Passover is wheat free and yeast free. :)

Iowa has implemented a ten person or less mandate. Also no church services til the end of the month. bars, restaurants, casinos, health clubs closed. early shopping for the elderly. maximum one gallon of milk (store rule). Told the new mayor if he wants to curry favor, the city should by a semi load of TP and toss rolls out to the public.

I don't suppose any of my family will be able to come here.... and I'm not going there.... soooo I guess it will be a rather lonely Easter. Oh well... and stay well.

Have not talked about Easter plans, but I usually go to des Moines to my daughter's....however I am of a certain age and my grand daughter is a soci;l worker and likely not "pure" my grand son works at a grocery store, my daughter is a teacher but currently not working...I am Ok with being home alone......with my freezer and my TV and my "little dog too".
Funny about the mayor and the TP...my daughter's house has 5 baths....so she's either running out or well stocked!
