Menu Plan Pesach 5776

I know I haven't posted much this past year, but I just finished typing up this year's menu for Pesach and I thought I would post it.  Ok, so I realize that the menu plan looks very similar to the one I posted last year.  Ahem.  Yes, it pretty much is the same with a few changes and tweaks.  This year we are fortunate to be going to a friend's house for the Second night, so I don't need to plan a menu although I'm sure we'll be bringing something along (?)  Also, a dilemma I face every year is packing school lunches for the kids.  Last year they wanted nothing to do with any type of matzo sandwich situation.  The solution was a vegetarian Matzo Ball Soup in Thermos containers.  I chose to make it veggie so that I could pack along some cheese or sweet treat that might have some dairy in it ;)    It worked last year, but that's no guarantee for this year, so I may need to wing it as we go.  Anyway, here it is and Happy Pesach! -
