This is Mama Miche, and today in my magic kitchen: Sweet Matzoh Brei.

This is the matzoh brie of my childhood. Very few ingredients, very easy to make, and very good use of matzo in a week where that's all you can eat. Joking, not joking. There is also a delicious savory matzoh brei recipe I've shared on our YouTube channel and website in which we use our delicious Twice Stolen Spice™ I learned that one from my dear friend, Essra Mohawk. I mention that in the voiceover. In the time between making that video and this one, Essra left this plane. She was a gifted and highly underrated singer-songwriter.

This is Mama Miche, and today in my magic kitchen: Jew"ish" Brisket

I am not a religious Jew, nor do I keep a kosher home; in fact, I've joked I'm Jew "ish." I still love traditional Jewish holiday foods. Judaism–It's the only religion that is an ethnicity as well, as far as I know.

Brisket is one go-to multi-holiday meal! You can make it for Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah, or Passover.

Today in my magic kitchen we are making a delicious breakfast for the Passover holiday week - Matzo Brei.

No need to say God bless you! It may sound like a sneeze for those who don’t know what a matzo brei is, but it is a delicious breakfast. It makes a great use of matzo and is similar to French toast or huevos rancheros. I substitute the bread or tortilla chips with... you guessed it, Matzo.

After a couple of days of eating cardboard, which is how my Momster would describe matzo, you do need to find different ways of cooking with the ingredients that are “kosher for Passover” and matzo is key to the week long holiday. It’s so important to the story of Passover which is why it is one of the four questions that the youngest child must ask at a Seder dinner, why do we eat matzo? We are Jews. We suffer. That is why.

Today in my magic kitchen we are making a delicious salmon spread. This salmon spread is one of my favorite things to serve it as an appetizer at Passover. It’s a perfect substitute for gefilte fish for Seder dinner. In the video that accompanies this recipe, I show how to make cucumber rolls stuffed with the salmon spread. They look like little flowers; perfect for the spring holiday.

You will need to use a long English cucumber to really make it work well. But if you do not have the tools or the patience to serve it that way, you can opt to scoop out the seeds to make little cucumber boats stuffed with the spread. You can use a pastry bag or make your own from a Ziploc to fill the boats.
