• Kedem Biodynamic Grape Juice
• Yehuda Matzoh: Organic Whole Wheat and Gluten-Free varieties (Everything, Original, Cinnamon, Unsalted)
• Yehuda Regular, Panko-style, and Gluten-Free Matzoh Meal
• Kedem Gourmet Tilapia Gefilte Fish
• Sea Castle Seaweed Snacks
• Gefen Roasted Chestnuts
• Glick’s Macaroons (regular and Gluten-Free varieties)
• Eylon All-Natural Marshmallows (Vanilla and Vanilla Minis)
• Harrison’s Bittersweet Chocolate Chips, Fruit Smiles, Jelly Rings, and Fruit Slices

Peeps is one whimsical sign that Easter is here, including our favorite recipe for Peeps cake!  This season kosher marshmallows are also on the shelves in mini-format for the diet conscious.  //localfoodeater.com/new-historic-american-jewish-marshmallow-easter-treats/

Western Christian Easter takes place on April 21 this season.  Following 40 days of Lent, Sunday church and a meal of symbolic dishes celebrate  joy and life.  See Chef Roberta Deen’s dinner menu for ideas and recipes:
