Are you ready? It's time to countdown to Passover...Follow our guide to Passover preparations, and don't stress!

Once You've Recovered From Purim:

• Take a deep breath.
• Invite your guests and plan accordingly. Keep track of who will be bringing food. Do your guests have any dietary restrictions?
  
• Make your shopping list, including what can be bought now such as oil, nuts, spices, condiments, and other necessary ingredients.
• Don't forget the wine!
• Do a kitchen inventory: Will you be using disposable goods? Do you have enough Passover silverware for your guests?
• Determine if you need to buy new kitchenware. Did your favorite Passover serving dish break last year? Time for a new one...
• Do an inventory of your chametz, then make a weekly meal menu to use it up!
• Write your cleaning to-do list: The kitchen is last. Start with the closets.

Two Weeks Before:

• Finalize your Passover menus for the entire week.
• Go shopping! Buy what you can in advance, aside from fresh produce.
  
• Polish the silver. It's that time of year!
• Make pre-Passover appointments.
• Clean the bedrooms and kids' toys.
• Set up a Passover mini-kitchen and start cooking.
