Passover is a holiday where Jewish people basically give up bread and all other yummy carbs (think beans, rice, corn, etc.) to thank G-d for his help freeing us from slavery in Egypt. It is a time of year that I struggle with cooking wise, but I have managed to compile a short list of recipes to get me through the seven days of sacrifice. For non-observers you can use phyllo dough--3 sheets on top and 3 sheets on the bottom, just make sure to spray each sheet individually with PAM. Points/calories stay the same!
