Primed for Pesach: Pesach 2026 Menu Template and Grocery List

Whether you’re a newbie or an old-timer, making Pesach can be overwhelming! My Pesach 2026 Menu Template takes the stress out of menu planning, and my grocery list helps organize that huge shopping trip once your menu’s been decided!

Another Pesach, another menu template! I’ve been creating these since long before I even used a computer—back when I used nothing but a pencil, a ruler, and a piece of paper.

Every year, I debate whether I should create a “master template” so you could all have access whenever you’d like. But I love having the days of the week specified for each Yom Tov. If one year has a three-day Yom Tov and the next only has two days followed by a full Chol Hamoed, the template just won’t work asso well. So, for now, I’ll just stick with my custom ones, a new one created for each Yom Tov season!

It is definitely worth taking a peek at my previous years’ templates (2023, 2024, and 2025), in addition to downloading the Pesach 2026 menu template below, but the real must-read is my Pesach Equipment Buying Guide. I spent a full year taking diligent notes on every detail of what you do and don’t need to have when you make Pesach, so you don’t have to do any guesswork.

Most importantly, don’t forget my beloved cookbook, My Pesach Kitchen. I released it back in 2021, yet every recipe remains a classic. While I love the excitement of new magazine supplements and Pesach cookbooks, 95% of my own menu consists of the tried-and-true recipes I make year after year. It’s what my family loves and expects! My scalloped potatoes are a must, I lose count of how many potato kugels I make, and my “easy no-fail roast” has officially become a Seder staple.
