Sweet Noodle Kugel
Happy Hanukkah friends! This will be my ninth year celebrating Hanukkah with Josh. Where does the time go? I absolutely love being a dual-holiday family, and getting to learn all about the Jewish culture and embrace its traditions. One of my favorite Hanukkah traditions is the food! Latkes, blintzes, and sweet noodle kugel. It's crazy to me that before meeting Josh I had never tried these foods. They are fan-freaking-tastic. Noodle kugel is also incredibly easy to make. You basically get some ingredients, a bowl, mix 'em all together, and bake. You're left with a dish that is sweet enough to be a dessert but savory enough to act as a meal. I can't get enough. Josh and I pick a night of Hanukkah each year to go all out with food. We cook, we light the menorah, we eat, and then we exchange gifts. It's a perfect tradition that is uniquely ours, which is the very best kind. We picked up all the ingredients for this year's celebration at Family Fare. You can't beat their prices and fresh ingredients. We love their Our Family brand.
