My Aunt Marsha Bernhard passed away a few year ago. She was an elegant woman who kept a beautiful home. She made many magnificent holidays for our family there. When I was a little girl, she would have me over for special times, just she and I. When I was around 10 year old, before Passover, I had the pleasure of watching her make two of my favorite Passover foods – matzo farfel stuffing and mint meringues with chocolate chips. I can still taste them both! Here is the recipe for the stuffing. Check out the April Jewish Journal for the meringue recipe!

Ingredients:
2 onions, diced
1 c mushrooms, sliced
