As we approach the celebration of Hanukkah, many are already feeling the holiday spirit, albeit a bit too soon for some. With the recent Thanksgiving feast still fresh in mind, the thought of gift-giving can feel overwhelming, especially with the excitement of children discussing presents. It can be quite a challenge to navigate these festivities, particularly with Evan’s birthday also around the corner. However, in the spirit of the Festival of Lights, I’m here to share a beloved recipe that will surely bring joy to your table.
While certain traditional foods may not be for everyone—think gefilte fish or chopped liver—there are some staples that transcend cultural boundaries and are universally appreciated. Matzo ball soup, crispy potato latkes, and warm challah are just a few examples of dishes that can be enjoyed by all. If you haven’t yet experienced these culinary delights, now is the time to explore them.
Kugel is a dish that often leaves people intrigued. This sweet noodle pudding, which serves as a side rather than a dessert, has received rave reviews from those who have tried my version. While some may find it puzzling, I believe you will come to appreciate its unique flavor profile. Here is my ultimate kugel recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 1 package of cooked and drained egg noodles
- 1 pint of Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 stick of melted butter
- 1/2 lb of cottage cheese
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of dried cranberries

Instructions:
