I love everything about Pesach. The cleaning, the preparations, the family time, and of course, the cooking.

I am human, though, and cooking three meals a day with a limited pantry can be overwhelming at times. Even if you cook and freeze in advance, it’s still a lot of meals that need to be served.

If this sounds familiar to you, then I have a solution.

Brunch!

I know what you’re thinking. How can this be easier?

It’s not that it’s less cooking. I mean, it’s Pesach. People have to eat, so food has to be cooked. It’s more that with careful planning and a little bit of forethought, it’s really not overwhelming at all and very executable.

Instead of serving three meals a day, make a huge brunch filled with foods that are fun, satisfying, and packable so that any leftovers can get wrapped up and brought along on day trips for all noshing needs!

I have a formula I use so brunch doesn’t feel repetitive, and I have tons of tips and tricks to help minimize the morning workload.

Let’s break it down…

Basic Brunch Formula

Dips + Eggs + Potatoes/Mains + Salad + Something sweet

I know what you’re thinking. “Whoa. Danielle, chill. No one can pull that off effortlessly by 10 or 11 a.m.”

But I’m telling you that with a few simple prep-ahead steps, you can pull this off morning after morning, maybe not completely effortlessly, but certainly with your sanity intact!

Let’s start by dividing the categories and giving you a few options for each one. Each day, you can mix and match choices from these categories as you see fit.

After we know what our options are, I’ll share all my prep-ahead secrets and recipes with you!
