AMAZING JEWISH NOODLE KUGEL
This noodle kugel is what my mom makes every Shabbos. It's amazing and fairly easy to make. Note: It is best to make the night before and put in the refrigerator. The next day slice with a knife, then reheat in the oven.

ERIKA'S AMAZING NOODLE KUGEL
This sweet dessert is a cross between a cheesecake and a pudding. I always get request to make this for every special occasion, holiday, or pot luck. People think it sounds weird at first, but then taste it and fall in love! You can serve with similar items that you would serve a cheese cake with, cherry pie filling, strawberries, chocolate sauce, or cinnamon sugar.
