My Favorite Passover Strawberry Kugel Recipe

Passover has always been my children’s favorite holiday.  We did our Seder southern style here in Baton Rouge with our dear famly friends, the Bombet family.  Ronnie is known for his blackened redfish and wow did I look forward to it!  I made a creamy spinach and Strawberry Kugel…of course, we always included the traditional Seder plate and traditonal food. My parents use to come here when my kids were younger–and now that my kids live all over the country, I usually  go to my parent’s house in Ft. Worth and Courtney and Chad (live in Dallas) will come there.  This is a holiday of family gathering and tradition.  However, this year will be one of the best in a long time.  Todd and Sana will be there from NY, and Haley will also come in from NY and the sedar will be at Courtney and Chad’s in Dallas so looks like I will be doing lots of cooking.  Of course, my mother will make food and bring from Ft. Worth so what a nice day.  Actually, we don’t have the Sedar on the correct day–we will do it the weekend we can all be together.

This Strawberry Kugel recipe is SO GOOD and I look forward to it every year.  I did trim the recipe down a bit so it is better for you!  The recipe comes from one of my mother’s friends who is deceased but was such a cooking inspirtaion to me growing up. I hope you enjoy it too.
