A Passover treat

When I was a young girl I was quite lucky. My best friend (still a dear friend of mine) was Jewish and, through each others families, we each got to experience our different religions. She helped decorate our Christmas tree, went to church and learned what communion was all about. I went to temple, helped light the Menorah, and celebrated Passover with them. From the youngest of ages we learned that even though we had different beliefs we could respect, appreciate, and find the beauty in each others religions. It was a wonderful lesson to learn. (I kind of wish some of our world leaders had grown up in my neighborhood!) Though my friend has moved out of state, I still stay in touch with her family and, at certain times of the year, I start remembering the traditions of my youth.

One of my favorite tastes of Passover is Matzo Ball Soup. The version I make is of the pinch-of-this, bit-of-that variety so I have no idea of the nutrition information. But Whole Foods Market has a Roasted Root Vegetable Matzo Ball Soup recipe that sounds simply delish. Enjoy!
