This matzo ball recipe came about after years of experimenting with different recipes to get the right consistency. These matzo balls are soft, fluffy, and keep their shape when added to soup. If you like firmer matzo balls, you can reduce the seltzer or add an extra 1/4 cup matzah meal.

- 4 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.33 cups club soda
- 2 tablespoons club soda

Easter Leg of Lamb
We eat leg of lamb every Easter dinner โ it is a family favorite. I normally cook half a leg. If you cook a whole leg of lamb, double the recipe. You need to start this recipe at least 24 hours before cooking. It needs to marinate at least overnight.
No-Tomato Chili
This chili without tomatoes has a great kick to it. For those of you who don't like chunky tomatoes, this one's for you (and it's great if you like tomatoes too)!
Air Fryer Mashed Potato Cakes
Recycle those leftover mashed potatoes into a new side dish, using your air fryer, instead of a skillet. These mashed potato cakes have a crunchy topping, thanks to Italian-seasoned panko crumbs.
