Pineapple slices with mashed sweet potatoes on top (it holds as an ice cream shape by adding eggs) and sprinkled with chopped walnuts...baked in an oven to caramelize it all together...yummy and pretty!

I did this 2 years ago and do it again since, take frozen brocoli and coliflower put it in a crockpot bag and stick it in the crockpot on Yom Tov morning by lunch it's nice and steamed and yummy! For a variety you can then take a frying pan, fry up some onions add some already cooked eggs that are chopped up and add the brocoli and coliflower, toss with a bit of garlic, salt and pepper. A really healthy and delicous dish. if you want to make it even healthier just take out the egg yoke and leave the egg whites. During the year you can even put in some bread crumbs from challah but you can leave that part out anytime. It's a great receipe that everyone in my house likes.

Honey roasted sweet potatoes with thyme
Carmelized Carrots
Roasted red peppers and portobellos with a balsamic reduction
Red Cabbage Salad with mandarin oranges and scallions, carmelized almonds
Quinoa Israeli Salad

Honestly any non kitniyos veggie will do. Just make it into a cold salad with oil and vinegar or season it and roast it for a hot version.

- Braised fennels or courgettes. Sautee first and add 1cup water, season with salt, pepper, chicken soup powder, cook till soft but not mushy, turn of flame and add a nice squeeze of lemon juice.

- Sweet and sour carrots and celery is also our staple for the holiday.

- Boiled/steamed broccoli or cauliflower topped with toasted almond flakes

- Roasted peppers (make it multi-coloured)

So many different salads you can make if you use lettuce/leftoever Marror.

My daughter made a delicious red cabbage salad with colorful peppers, pecans (omit to save money) and some dressing - I don't have the recipee handy.

You can make lettuce and peppers and tomatoes and vary the dressings if you use these things.
