Nana’s Kugel
This is one of those recipes that every Jewish Mom has. There are some recipes, for kugel, that are truly original, but I find most recipes start from the same place. This was my mom’s version. She didn’t add raisins , but you can. This is a often requested family favorite for any time of the year.
