If you don't have matzo farfel, but do have matzo, you can still make this maple almond matzo granola, because–wait for it–farfel is really just crushed up matzo. Break the matzo sheets into small (about 1/4" to 1/2" inch) pieces, and bake with a maple and brown sugar-sweetened combo of coconut, almonds, raisins. You won't miss cereal nearly so much.

Eton Mess
The Spruce
If you've got meringues on hand (including the crumbly bits or wonky-looking ones from a homemade batch), turn them into a delicious Eton Mess. There's little simpler or more delicious than the combination of meringues, freshly whipped cream, and spring's first strawberries. Plus, it's a dessert that's totally gluten-free.

Sponge cake is light, lofty, and often a little on the bland side. All of that works to your advantage when it comes to trifle making. Just cube the cake, and layer it in a bowl or individual dishes with pudding, whipped cream, berries or chopped stone fruits, or chocolate shavings. Drizzle each cake layer with a Passover liqueur if you'd like.
