Holy Thursday ~ Eating the Lamb ~ Our New Tradition!

Okay, I’m not a professional chef, but I can cook a nice filling meal for my family of 11 people! I can’t make a fancy Passover/Holy Thursday meal, but we ate lamb just the same!

Early this morning, after my older girls and I read the free excerpt from Monica’s book ““, the girls wanted me to make lamb. Well, that is not a meal I could even begin to create. So I started giving them ideas of things I could make which could be our new family tradition for Holy Thursday.

The girls loved the idea of Sheppard’s Pie. I made 2 -13×9 inch casserole pans of Sheppard’s pie (with beef) to feed everyone -that’s as close as I got to making lamb.  I also used  Monica’s excerpt to make Haroset for the little bit of Matzah we happened to have on hand.

We didn’t have enough Matzah to go around and feed everyone, so the girls wanted to make some simple whole wheat flat biscuits. While they made the dough, I quickly drew them a picture of how to shape and arrange the biscuits on the pan. They did a great job recreating my picture.

So we .  We ate our cute little  (John 1:29) along with that tasty Haroset!

   Thanks, Monica, for inspiring us to start a new family tradition!!

Maybe next year I can make real lamb, but the kids loved the “biscuit lamb” so much I’m sure we’ll have to create it again! They might even what to make it for Easter, too!

May you all have a blessed Good Friday!
