We’re headed to Baltimore this weekend to spend Yom Kippur holiday with our respective families.
It’s never an easy trip home.
I always find myself searching for Mom’s place setting at the dinner table and it’s just not there.
As simple as it sounds, I know I’m allowing Mom’s spirit to live on in all of us when I bake her celebrated recipes.
Back by popular Jewish demand, enjoy our two favorite kugel recipes. And, you don’t have to be Jewish to adore them.
