Passover is around the corner. Yes, another holiday. There are many in an interfaith household. Passover is one of my favorites. It's very symbolic, the kids can be involved, there's wine.... :)
One of my favorite parts is the Charoset on the Seder plate. It's a wonderful concoction made from apples and walnuts traditionally. Wait. What? Apples and walnuts. That's right, my favorite goes right down the drain. Apples and walnuts are not a part of our house.
Here is the traditional recipe

I modify it by leaving out the walnuts and filling it in with raisins and I use pears instead of apples. Not the same but not awful.
I'm not a cook by any means so if you have any thoughts on how else I can modify it please let me know.
Through Blogger I can see where in the world people are that are reading the blog. Besides the United States I have had readers from Germany, England, Australia, France, and Portugal! That's so exciting to me! Thank you all! It also makes me stop and think about food allergies in other countries. How prevalent are they? How are they diagnosed? How are they handled in schools etc? If you are reading this from outside the United States, I would love to hear how food allergies are handled in your country.
Thanks!
Congrats on the followers. I, too, am curious about how other countries handle medical issues. Look forward to reading the responses.
