We don't eat any chicken over Pesach which is making this so much more difficult for us.

@ra_mom - Can I please have the recipe for:
zucchinioli
Eggplant rolitini (dairy)

Thanks

Zucchinioli

Eggplant Rolitini

Slice eggplant lengthwise into 1/2 inch thick slices and sprinkle both sides with kosher salt; sweat for 20 to 30 minutes and then pat dry.
Arrange eggplant on greased cookie sheet and brush with olive oil; bake at 400 for 10 minutes.
Place 2 heaping tablespoons of cheese filling on one end of each eggplant slice. Roll into a tube and secure with a toothpick.
Spread baking dish with a thin layer of marinara sauce and top with rolitini. Spoon more sauce on top and sprinkle with some shredded cheese.
Bake until lightly browned and bubbly. Remove picks and serve.

I make natural sweet applesauce and poached pears. Sorbet is a nice treat at the end of the day and low cal.
Sliced corned beef, roast beef, grilled chicken, eggs. Capons stuffed with vegetables. Tilapia roll ups. Tuna steaks. Skirt steak salad.
Various vegetable purees instead of mashed potatoes.
Zucchinioli for dairy, Greek salad with eggplant parmesan sans coating.
You can make coconut macaroons with finely shredded coconut, egg whites and sweetener. Keep in the freezer. It's pretty decent if you can't have anything else.
There are some small boxes of Gefen pesach cookies that you can eat about 3 for a snack and stay within 100 calories 2g fat.
15 salted roasted almonds a nice snack.
Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of Pesach granola.
Fudge bombs are lower in fat and carbs than some other recipes. Uses cocoa, egg whites, confectioners sugar, chocolate chips.
You can buy Pesach cake mix and try mixing in a can of soda instead of the recommended ingredients and baking as many do during the year.

How do you poach your pears?

For keeping weight down over Pesach, here is Dr. Judith Beck counseling a client before Thanksgiving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJxCnoR3Cc8
Using her book (The Beck Diet Solution) I lost more weight than I've ever lost before, and I personally vouch for the power of the "response cards" system.

Re poached pears, my friend gave me her late mother's recipe: peel pears, put in a pot, and cover at least halfway with red wine (or mixture of wine and grape juice). Very yomtovdik, easy as anything and absolutely delicious.
