Pesach 2016

It's happening! A lot of people worry about Pesach prep but I love it. I love the planning, the lists, the errands, the mass cooking. I'm in my happy place when I'm surrounded by fresh ingredients that I get to make into delicious meals.

I've been making Pesach every year since we got married, and have been hosting Seder since year 2. I like hosting and my husband likes being home so it works out well. Every year I put together lists of everything, then keep a master list of all my lists to keep them organized. Lists includes menus, meal schedules, guests, grocery list, errands, things needed to get done, and so on. Over the years my lists evolved, with a transfer to digital lists about three years ago. I still prefer paper and pen sometimes but it's helpful to have the lists from year to year.

Grocery list so far:

Fruits & Veg: Potatoes, onions, eggplant, zucchini, carrots, melon, mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumbers, cauliflower, broccoli, bananas, apples, pears, peppers, lettuce, celery, berries, plums, spinach, horseradish, garlic, parsley.
Meat & Fish: Chicken, turkey chops, roast, cutlets, salmon, gefilte, zeroa
Diary: Milk, yogurt, leben, cream cheese, butter, shredded cheese, cottage, heavy cream, swiss, parmesean
Other food: Coffee, oil, seltzer, potato starch, duck sauce, nuts, tomato sauce, sugar, coconut oil, spices, chraine, salt, tuna, vanilla, eggs, dried fruit, coconut oil, chocolate chips, dates, coconut flakes, white raisins, pistachios, coconut milk, matza meal, wine
Misc: dish soap, sponges, paper goods, disposable pans, tinfoil, parchment paper

I'm sure there are pieces missing, but this is the start. The plan was to do all the shopping and errands before the egg retrieval, though I don't know how realistic is especially the produce and dairy.
