Mrs. S., great, glad you found a way to make a delicious dish without margarine. I wish my eldest son liked spinach, but alas, he just likes this plain.

I must confess that lately I’ve buying the Classic Salt n Pepper Noodle Kugel, a Highland Park based brand also available in New York. It’s the same ingredients as mine, and buying it frees up my time to make tekka (similar to cole slaw), beets, and brussel sprouts.

Noodle kugel used to be a staple of my Shabbat repertoire, but I also stopped making it because of the margarine. When I saw your post in the summer, I wondered if I also dared omit the margarine. Anyway, I finally got the courage to try it this week. I made it with one more egg than usual, but I don’t think it was necessary. Also, after I drained the noodles, I tossed them with a tiny bit of canola oil.

The bottom line: until I told them what I had done, no one in the family noticed anything different…

Thanks for the inspiration!

We grew up eating margarine too. It was cheaper than butter and understood to be “better for you” so butter was reserved for my dad only. The privilege of being King in our house. But once it was learned that margarine is very unhealthy the switch was made to butter only. Of course, now in my own house we don’t even have a stick of butter in sight.

Ilana-Davita, I can’t blame you for waiting until winter…I want to try your banana bread/cake recipe, but I’m going to wait a few weeks for that one. It’s too hot here. Instead we might just have chocolate and watermelon for dessert.

That looks nice. I’ll have to try it. Maybe in winter.
Shabbat Shalom!
