Several years ago I was visiting my niece Margaret and her husbands Grandma Sarah lived with them. Sara was Jewish and Hanukkah was approaching, so she was telling us about the Dreidel she played with as a child. One thing lead to another and we ended up on the subject of food. Sarah mentioned a dish that she was particularly enjoyed called Noodle Kugel, something that I had never heard of. So, I decided to surprise Grandma Sara with a tray of noodle kugel. I called my friend Hannah and she shared this recipe with me. Grandma loved it and so did everyone else at the table.
I sometimes like to switch things around and I want to mention that occasionally when I make this dish, I add a small can of crushed pineapple (drained) and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. It’s a nice variation although not traditionally found in a Kugel.
