Living in a place where you can't just go to the store and buy kosher l'pesach food, what tips do you have?
I have lists of what I can buy (fresh produce, sugar, kirkland almond flour, extra virgn olive oil, non iodized salt, eggs...) and I have some food shipped including the basic spices, ground meat, chicken legs, wine, matza, tomato sauce, potato chips, potato starch.
Anyone have recipe suggestions? I know how to make soup, kugel, basic chicken, potatoes, meat balls. Yes gebrokts (but don't have matza meal), no kitnios.
Other tips or suggestions?
TIA!

Why don't you order matza meal now to be shipped? Plenty of time. Or if you have a food processor you can grind up matza to make matza meal.

Chabad uses almost no processed food so basically every meal is chicken/beef/lamb/fish, potatoes of some sort, (kugel, roast, mashed...), soups, and vegetables.

We eat fruit or eggs for breakfast, or my kids eat sliced bananas and milk, lots of matza and avocado.

Very oot here.
We make a menu of every meal before Rosh chodesh.
I get input from the kids and a week before pesach we go to a nearby city 4 hours away to buy all the Jewish stuff.
Years we couldn’t go, we made an order and a friend who did go brought it for us.

Do you live driving distance to a kosher store? My in laws plan a trip a few weeks before and one of them drives a few hours, shops, spends the night and comes home.

Also, there really is a ton of stuff you can order these days. I would look now before it runs out.

Yes, a few hours away, but not a big one-limited selection even there. I think we're probably going to be better off using basic ingredients and just finding enough recipes that work.

For desserts you could make sorbet, either fruit sorbet (fruit, orange juice and sugar) or grape juice sorbet.

If you can get chocolate, chocolate mousse with eggs, sugar and chocolate.
