As a wife and mother, I've tried to concentrate making these seven days something special to look forward to. Work and school lunches can be exciting meals, prepared without leaven and filled with savory tastes.

We always involved our children in the menu planning during these special days. We taught them that meals without leavening could be tasty and exciting. It became fun to honor God. The kids loved this and it taught them God's way in the process.

What foods did we consume during this special time? Commercial products that we can look forward to are Triscuits, corn tortillas, Ry Krisps and the many delicious flavors of matzos. Some health food stores even have unleavened bread called Manna. Be sure to check ingredients.

A few of our favorite main dishes during this season include beef Wellington (made with phyllo dough), prime rib with Yorkshire pudding, shepherd pie, quiche, tacos, enchiladas, crepes and any pasta (including spaghetti, fettuccini alfredo and lasagna). I enjoy preparing unleavened pound cake, brownies, pies, Mississippi mud cake, cheesecake with butter crunch crust, lemon bars, Chinese chews, apple crisp and baklava. Breakfast creations can include popovers and Swedish pancakes. You'll find dozens of recipes within the Unleavened Recipes section at UCG.org

During the past 52 Unleavened Bread seasons, I've discovered many helpful hints by sharing recipes with others. I hope your unleavened meals become extra special for your entire family.

    Hi Dorothy - The articles was published in 2000. Since then we have created an Unleavened Recipes section at UCG.org. Thanks for noticing that this article needed to be updated to reflect that information. You can find the Unleavened Recipes at http://www.ucg.org/members/recipes/unleavened-recipes . This Bible Questions and Answers webpage list leavening products : "What is leaven?" -- http://www.ucg.org/bible-study-tools/bible-questions-and-answers/what-is-leaven

    Hope this information helps.
