On Pesach, when everything is carb heavy and eating Matzah (with cream cheese and jelly, of course) seems like a full time job, I love to keep a massive jar or two of these pickled veggies around. They are super easy to make and absolutely delicious and ensure that I have an alternative healthy snack to reach for when the chocolate is calling my name. Since they are pickled they also travel well and make a great addition to any packed lunch for Chol Hamoed trips. My family can’t get enough of them and I am thrilled that between all the Matzah and Potatoes, they are enjoying their veggies.

Fagie Reves, is behind the blog of The Gush Gourmet. She is a full time caterer, mom, and wife living in the beautiful hills of Gush Etzion, Israel. From the age of 10, she spent her free time in the kitchen watching her mother cook her famous dishes. Often,she wasn’t allowed to help, but what she has picked up (besides for some secret recipes) was a passion for showing love through food. Cooking with love and then feeding people with the fruit of that labor is a gift. Though her career took a different turn for a while, she always spent her free time cooking, from working summers in one of NY top kosher restaurants to interning with caterers. Eventually her love of cooking, food, and feeding could not be suppressed and made it her full time job. Now, she caters people’s smachot and holiday meals and not only get to provide them with delicious food but to share the joy of their occasions. What does she do when she has a day off from cooking? Shecooks! develops recipes and tries to bring to fruition the ideas she dreams of, and it’s a blast!
