Happy Easter, Happy Passover, Happy Spring – Let’s Eat!

You may think Easter sweet treats are all about those chocolate eggs that you
hide around the house for the kids to find (or not). But in our family, it’s
about Noodle Pudding!

This is no mashugana. And it’s notkugel! It’s noodle! Have you heard? I’m famous! Well, sort of. I’m the Queen Of Noodle Pudding. In my family that is. Fame in any form is fun. My fame only continues as long as I keep making the noodle pudding. Every Holiday, including Easter, I am tasked with bringing the noodle pudding. And this year is no exception. So, with the help of my sous chef Tom, who is also my sweet-treat husband, we set to work. I’m calling him the King of Noodle Pudding from now on. We’ll share the crown.

Now, don’t get confused. Mine is one of those familiar dairy dishes with cream
cheese, sour cream and lots of butter, but NO raisins. I hate raisins. My Aunt
Miriam made her noodle pudding with raisins, and that’s where my love for noodle
pudding ended. That is until my old friend Sheila gave me the best noodle
pudding recipe EVER! It’s easy to make. Easy as pudding! Enjoy!
