    RD, you should have stocked up on matzo right after Pesach when some stores had five pounds for 99 cents.

    I still have about 30 boxes of matzah left from Passover, but that’s plain matzah. ShopRite had egg and bran matzah on sale, which is nice, because it breaks up the monotony for me during Pesach.

    While on the topic of cheap things to cook, matzah brei is one of them; matzah, water, egg, salt, pepper, and a little margarine.

    Oh my Gosh!! I had no idea that the thread was still open and people were posting and enjoying it!! I am so happy!!

    As an update a while back, I did post from another thread that all was on the up-swing. That lasted about a year. Although we have had some setbacks, we are definitely ahead.

    New recipe!!

    Toss all of the ingredients in a food processor for a few seconds with an S blade:

    two apples

    two carrots

    can of pineapple

    bit of orange juice

    This recipe came out of the fact that in our area Tomchei Shabbos almost always has a can of pineapple in it and I never know what to do with it!!

    Turns out like a fruity coleslaw, but it is super yummy.

    Also: lots of cornflakes and zucchini in our Tomchei Shabbos basket. Any ideas??

    Thanks!

    I just googled cornflake zucchini, and found something called faux-fried zucchini chips. They use some Parmesan cheese, but I think you could just leave it out. You can easily crush the cornflakes in a ziplock bag, or you might be able to just take the bag out of the box and smoosh it without ending it.

    Soup from a stone. Fancy that!

    The stone is reusable, too.

    A few years ago I had a week where all I could afford was 3 onions. I made soup and made it last.
